Its more like the groaners are always the most vocal.

Say like there was a Direct who's biggest games were SMT 3 and SMT 4 announcements. Tons of people were bitching about that one but I've never been more excited about a Direct.

Smash is a large vocal community that largely doesn't care about Xenoblade and with sword users already over representative in total characters and meta so I'm not surprised they're salty. As for the Xenoblade community, the character they included isn't like how she is in game and the Direct made it look like they were releasing a sequel or story DLC content.

Personally I liked this one, the new Mario golf looks cool, Stubbs is a cult classic I'm glad I'll be able to play again (my old console broke), for the same reason I'm probably going to get the Ninja Gaiden rereleases, I fucking love Bravely Default and I've been super looking forward to this one (its been in development for like 6 years or something) and allowing you to play Skywind Sword without a motion controler is going to be awesome.
