What's up everybody? Welcome to IGN GamesHoop. I'm your host, David Hatfield, and joining me this week are Sam Claiborne.

I salute you, Damon.

Soluted back at ya. Justin Davis is here.

And Seth Macy is here who can show us how a salute's really done.

Ooh, very sharp, very sharp. At ease, soldier.

We got a great show for this week. We got shows from both Nintendo and Sony.

We can share highlights from. I definitely want to get Justin and Seth's thoughts on Starfield,

which we talked about a lot last week, but these two gentlemen were not in attendance.

But first, let's begin with the Nintendo Direct this week. Seth, while we've got you here,

I saw mixed reactions to the Direct this week. Some people thought it was lame.

And some people thought there were just a lot of fun-looking games that actually got released dates.

So how'd you feel about the Nintendo Direct this week?

Yeah, I thought it was full of a lot of fun-looking games that actually have release dates.

Was it lame?

There was probably a little hint of lameness there.

But it was also very cute games that look wonderful.

And it's also very much a Direct at the end of the Nintendo Switch's life cycle.

I wonder what it tells us about the Nintendo Switch's life cycle.

Because we got release dates into 2024, and then Luigi's Mansion 2 HD, they said summer.

Yeah.

So it's the Switch 2, whatever it's called, it's not coming out in the first half of 2024.

I don't think so.
