Shin Megami Tensei fans were delighted yesterday by a Nintendo Direct Mini that announced Shin Megami Tensei V is coming to the Nintendo Switch in 2021 and an HD remaster of Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne is coming next spring. Everyone else, it seems, was quite salty about the whole thing.

Nintendo announced it would be hosting a "Nintendo Direct Mini" late Sunday night (or early Monday morning, depending on your time zone) that would focus on games from Nintendo's publishing partners. This meant there would be no news regarding major Nintendo IPs such as The Legend of Zelda and Super Smash Brothers.


Monday morning's 8-minute direct showcased DLC for Cadence of Hyrule and announced that Rogue Company and WWE 2K Battlegrounds would be coming to the Switch, along with the aforementioned Shin Megami Tensei releases. The Direct was short and hardly had the kind of gaming-world-shattering news that usually gets fans excited after a Direct, but one could argue it met the expectations Nintendo set prior to the Direct.


Nevertheless, many fans were disappointed in the Direct, which currently stands with a divisive 89/70 like-to-dislike ratio on YouTube. Fans were vocal about their disappointment with the Direct on Twitter, where they expressed anger that Nintendo gave them what Nintendo announced rather than what they wanted.

SMT fans, on the other hand, were absolutely thrilled.


Most people were just watching the divide between SMT fans and angry Nintendo fans and offering snarky commentary.

We should expect to see more Nintendo Direct Minis of this nature through the rest of 2020, so if you didn't get news on your most-anticipated new title (cough Hollow Knight 2: Silksong cough), there's always next time.
