    7 minutes of Ryan Reynolds staring into the camera and going "Pika Pika...Pikachu" over and over.

    And now I want that. Or have it like a 7 minute sneeze buildup where he just says "Pika" until the last second when he says "Pikachu"

    I nearly forgot about the Pokemon Direct today. I haven't the slightest interest in the franchise but I'll tune in out of curiosity to see the reveal of what is potentially Switch's biggest selling game. You can watch it below. Remember it starts at 2pm.

    Pokémon Direct 2.27.2019

    Nice taster - I think it looks good. I'll be interesting to see how big Galar actually is.

    Predict Sword to outsell Shield 2:1, based on the name alone!!!

    You'd think that but having the less cool name is a sales driver because you know your exclusives will be in higher demand. Could go either way now that all those old school Pokémon players grew up to be 2nd level thinking tactical geniuseses

    Worst kept secret. It's been heavily rumoured for a long time. Nice to see it confirmed though.

    Cadence of Hyrule.... Zelda Necrodancer? Nice! :)

    The news of Cuphead possibly coming to Switch has only been around since February so it's still a big announcement.

    Can't wait to play 'My Friend Pedro'

    Wow didn't expect to see a Zelda announcement. 'Cadence of Hyrule'

    That name sounds familiar, as if I read it in one of those rumoured leaks or something.

    Christ, that was an excellent direct. The amount of creativity in the indie scene at the minute is great. Plenty of Day 1 buys showcased today.

    My Friend Pedro and Cuphead were the big hitters for me. A few other interesting ones too but not necessarily day one purchases. Decent direct.

    Ooooh, My Friend Pedro seems like a good fit for the Switch. Not so convinced on Cuphead but only because I'm already a bit wary of it (but the visual style is gorgeous and I'd probably pay full price just to watch a playthrough of it...)

    Cuphead is excellent. Its tough but fair.

    Only watched the direct just now.
    Cuphead honestly I've not much interest in I'll likely be on my own wanting Katana Zero that day which looked great.
    Love the look of Overland & the switch needed a few more strategy titles like that & the recently announced Mutant Year Zero as I wish for XCOM Enemy Within to hopefully get a port.
    My Friend Pedro was my favourite game of E3 2018 & remains the same. Although seeing the bosses was unexpected.
    Neo Cab was probably ignored by most but I appreciated that art style, just makes me think of Wolf Among Us.
    The Red Lantern looked far more impressive than I was expecting. Not sure how it will play as they said you will hunt, care for injuries & has unique events which sounds very promising.
    RAD, Bloodroots, Swim Sanity & Pine didn't really stand out to me. RAD in particular looked pretty mediocre, similar to most recent Double Fine titles.

    It won't be but I really, really want this song in Cadence of Hyrule.

    Seems legit, as there's no mention of F-Zero.
