@RetroGam3rUk Diddy Kong Racing at the time but the one I've gone back to with friends most often is Mario Kart

@SlayerStarX Back to be surprised by Directs it is then

[JoyPad Arcade @JoypadArcade]

The success led to the release of "Buu's Fury," the 3rd game in the series which covers the final portion of Dragon Ball Z

This Week in Gaming - 15-21 June - Dragon Ball Z: The Legacy of Goku II (2003)

The Legacy of Goku 2, released in 2003 for the Game Boy Advance, is a major improvement over the first game of the series...

[JoyPad Arcade @JoypadArcade]

The game features significantly improved combat mechanics compared to the first instalment (there are fewer Saiyan killing snakes to fight in the first 5 minutes) and, as such, was well-received by fans and critics

[JoyPad Arcade @JoypadArcade]

Slightly concerned that none of these games with run above 20 fps on the switch hardware though...

[JoyPad Arcade @JoypadArcade]

Now that's how to nail a Nintendo direct! A nice mix of known quantities and surprises:

Barely any time given to Luigi's Mansion 2
Metroid Prime 4
Zelda
Mario and Luigi
Dragon Quest

Yeah boi!

This Week in Gaming - 8-14 June - The Last of Us (2013)
Developed by Naughty Dog in the wake of their success with the Uncharted Trilogy, The Last of Us is one of the most critically acclaimed video games of all time winning numerous Game of the Year awards

[JoyPad Arcade @JoypadArcade]

Additionally The Last of Us has since been re-released twice, in 2014 for the PlayStation 4, and in 2022, a full remake of the original game was released for the PlayStation 5. Fans were critical of this given how much time had passed between each entry
