After months of pestering the company for more information on when the next video would drop, fans were shocked to say the least, and reaction was a bit varied. Some fans loved it, some hated it, but overall, the whole thing was just unexpected for just about everyone!

A lot of fans were expecting more.

That Nintendo direct wasn’t really that good considering we still don’t know any of Nintendo’s plans throughout the year besides xenoblade and dlc/updates for already existing games

Although spring man was my most wanted newcomer since smash was announced plz plz plz spring man

Some fans seemed to love it, though!

Also Xenoblade oh my GOD it looks GREAT. #NintendoDirect

It even managed to convince some gamers on the fence.

Okay that tears it, I am going to get myself a Switch, not this pay day but maybe the next one. I would like to play the new animal crossing and Bravely Default 2 looks ace. Yeah I shouldn’t have watched that Nintendo Direct Mini - it all look so good

...there are people pretending to like Animal Crossing?

Wish they announced something about Rune Factory 5 in today's Nintendo Direct so I'd get to stop pretending I like Animal Crossing

Bold prediction!

ARMS 2: ARMageddon will be announced in the next Nintendo Direct around May/June, featuring some new characters, and some aged-up versions of the old ones. Max Brass is dead and Spring Man has taken up his name and title as Commissioner. The new mascot of ARMS 2 is in smash bros.

People don't seem to mind double-dipping on older games when it comes to Switch.

Oh, Bioshock for Switch? Yeah I can play it again. #NintendoDirect

Every little bit helps.

The nintendo direct today wasn’t that great, but it was good enough to occupy the time of being quarantined.
