It's the only announcement I'm excited about in the whole Nintendo Direct.

The only downside is that, for the moment, I don't really see the point of summoning crates rather than tables (or vice versa). But summoning monsters to fight is so cool.

For me, it's most likely a Day 1 purchase.

Crates are opaque where tables aren't so you can hide from baddies behind a crate?

Or "We're Nintendo so we have to take this to some logical extreme?"

Crates are 1 block high instead of 0.5, and the number of triangles you have limits how many things you can summon. There will certainly be gratuitous echos though.

Oh so you you can stack 3 crates twice as tall as you can stack 3 tables if you can only summon 3 total things.

crates probably float in water
