@ArloStuff There wasn't a single "big announcement". Samba Del Amigo and Layton were the biggest announcement and they're pretty small deals in comparison to your Mario's, Donkey Kong's, Zelda's etc...
@eggplantshow Casual Birder for the Play Date. The smaller scale of the game means each screen mostly has one thing to 'do', so even the more obtuse puzzles feel achievable. The crank was also unexpectedly immersive and the world was a beautiful, funny place that was always enjoyable to be in.
@7thbeat I also love how the songs are punishingly fast and much harder arrangements than needed. It makes the idea of a genuinely impressive performance so elusive it's more comfortable to laugh at.
