This direct was so good it gave me financial anxiety

[slachiver]

It so great to see you back! I can tell the time off had such a positive impact on you mentally. I know it probably wasn’t as easy as it may seem. It’s just great to see you back and you seem so much more happier and care free. So happy to see it.

For the direct, it cured my illness. Metroid and Zelda is what I want.

I'm so excited for Fantasy Life. There was one on the 3DS that had me in a chokehold. I always thought it was a hidden gem for that system. I never heard anyone talk about it, but I really loved it, and I'm glad it's getting a sequel.

I actually almost started crying when they announced a Fantasy Life sequel, because the 3DS game is one of my top3 favourite games ever and has a very special place in my heart. I can't wait to get back into the world oh my

[theloudshadow]

Fantasy life was my game growing up! Literally no one I know has any idea what it is, so the fact Nintendo is making a sequel The Nostalgia Hype was real right there for me!

[dahblackness]

Hey I’ll support you through and through thank you, I’ve been going through a rough time myself and felt alone and like I had no hope but seeing your excitement and recovery gives me hope

[Dwoalin]

Being there for the live stream was so fun. Seeing Wood so strung out on the Gameboy announcements that his brain didn't register the Metroid Prime Remaster 😂

[LelouchRika]

Fashion Dreamer is actually interesting since it's made by the Style Savvy devs and they were surprisingly REALLY good games. Some of the smaller stuff like Ghost Trick, Etrian Odyssey and Baten Kaitos coming back is also a huge deal for those series.

the stream was so fun, i was laughing so hard when wood slumped out of his chair and then was like, "wait there's more???"

[fairyscience]

I am SO hyped for the new Fantasy Life, it was my all time fave on 3DS!! A real 3DS hidden gem so I’m excited to see it getting talked about more for the switch version 😍

[mattbabineau]

“Arlo’s losing his MIND right now” was I think a collective thought of many of us watching the Direct.

[jessicawilson]

I am so glad you came back because of something like this truly exciting you and not just waiting until you felt you *had* to come back. It feels amazing to see that something has lit that fire under you again ❤️

[Mosoman]

Missed you Wood, but glad to see you doing better! Can't believe how great this direct was! Can't wait for the 22nd to play Prime Remastered.

[ianeons]

This Nintendo Direct was so good it's bringing people back. This is the best Nintendo has ever been since 2017.

[ExtremelyCaffeinated]

Glad to see a Wood video as always. I just hope that he took enough time off to recover. Your mental state and general well-being come first always!

[Mysticalturkey]

I'm thankful you are back. I recently had a mental breakdown as well and finally came out on the other side with a fresh perspective on life.

I wish all the best for you in your mental health journey. It's never easy but things do get better.

[MrKittyhead]

This was my favorite Direct ever. I loved all of these games so much, and I never imagined we would get a new Prof Layton or Fantasy Life. Xenoblade DLC looks great, and so does everything else.

[graydeotto]

Fantasy Life is a sequel to a very underrated 3DS game

[joshdawson]

So glad to see you back Wood! You’re in a way better headspace and it shows. Love it man! Keep up the great work we need you!
