In a recent MinnMax stream, Yoshida commented: &#8220;I wanted to see more game announcements. There are a couple of games, but most are remakes or ports.&#8221; <strong>His assessment of the event was quite critical, giving it a 6 out of 10, which he raised to 7 after the reveal of The Duskbloods, the new PvPvE game from FromSoftware, created by Hidetaka Miyazaki.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Direct that has also disappointed within the industry<\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite the criticism of the Direct, some developers have shown optimism regarding the potential of Nintendo&#8217;s new hardware, comparing it to a mid-range PC, which could indicate a significant advancement for the handheld console. However, <strong>the launch lineup, which includes titles like Mario Kart World and The Duskbloods, has been considered disappointing compared to the high expectations that had been generated<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Nintendo Switch 2 \u2013 Tr\u00e1iler general\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KIOT2oZro-4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The former executive also praised a new camera peripheral and the game Welcome Tour, <strong>highlighting its quality compared to Astro&#8217;s Playroom, although the latter was included with the PS5<\/strong>. Yoshida noted that the new accessory allows players to see the plays of others, even if they are in different games, which he considers a positive aspect for the community.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The general criticism suggests that the Direct did not meet the expectations of fans and analysts, especially with a higher price than anticipated and a launch that seems lacking compared to what was expected<\/strong>. However, some see the potential of the new hardware as an opportunity for Nintendo to revitalize its catalog in the future.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"Nintendo Switch Online\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-icon-s\/p\/0d8aa053-f44a-4256-ab5f-47f15b065e51\/1332576485\/nintendo-switch-online-logo\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">Nintendo Switch Online<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/nintendo-switch-online.softonic.com\/android\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DOWNLOAD<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--0\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"0\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\"><\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/nintendo-switch-online.softonic.com\/android\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shuhei Yoshida, former PlayStation executive with 30 years of experience, expressed his disappointment after the recent Switch 2 Direct, where he expected more announcements of new games.
