Not enough games.
Not even close to enough games.
Expectations were high as the 2nd half of the year had been so dry of releases, only for no new first party announcements, and the existing titles being much further away than initially thought. On top of that, a LOT of DLC announcements that went down as well as a fucking brick given the high game prices already.

No Punch-Out
No Kid Icarus

No more Lewd Japanese Games.

Too many things to list. By all means it should have been the direct which fully sold people on Switch 2. I know people who were on the fence about keeping it or not depending on this direct. Them essentially confirming that there is no mainline mario next year in favor of wii ports and a shitty movie was a very retarded move

>>720996293
There's no “mic drop” moment. Nintendo keeps doing these presentations when they have nothing truly exciting to announce. They know people treat these things like big events, but they refuse to provide or perhaps don’t even know a game announcement that would take advantage of the hype surrounding directs. Instead the discussion surrounding them is dominated by nitpicks about prices or remasters, and with no other place for people to expel the energy built up from all the direct hype, people make a huge deal out of these nitpicks.

>>720996293
It was a pretty uneventful direct if you aren't a Fire Emblem fan.

>>720996293
The Hades 2 1.0 announcement is fucking huge.
I know that non-FE fans fucking cry and piss themselves whenever they see FE content, but the new FE game shown looks really promising and is huge for fans of the genre.
The Yoshi game could be really cool, but there have also been a lot of braindead baby Yoshi games. So who knows about this one.

But there were plenty of other good to promising games shown too. The DQ Builders games are cool, and that pokemon game really looks like a Pokemon DQ Builders. With that in mind, it might be cool.
Mario Tennis Advance Tour is genuinely one of the best sports games ever made, which has a lot to do with its RPG adventure story mode. If Mario Tennis Fever could replicate that with its story mode, then it too could be a genuinely incredible game. Granted that Mario Tennis Aces also attempted a story mode and it sucked unbelievable ass. But for what it's worth, Fever's looks more promising, granted that Aces left the bar on the floor.
And the Bananza DLC is rad. But it was just DLC and not a new game.

Overall it was a good direct.
I genuinely don't get why people are acting like it was somehow insulting or really bad or anything. That stuff actually feels kind of forced or fake.
And yet threads like this keeps being made where people act like it was a terrible showing somehow.

Also, no new Splatoon Raiders news. What the fuck is up with that!?

>>720996293
No games, Fire Emblem baitslop like it’s tge best thing ever when the last game was a flot and this looks lime it learned nothing, No animal crossing but a bad pokemon flip because “we need to prove our cause is just” retardness, a plethora of third parties you can literally play everywhere for cheaper and better, and it was baiting with glthat 7 shit for no reason.
The only thing I’m hearing about online is the Danganrompa REMAKE FOR MULTIPLE CONSOLES with some shit not written by Kodaka so who in the fucking world cares.

>>720997137
Basically fuck Nintendo the post.

Literally the only good part of it for me was Star Force getting a collection but Capcom couldn't even be fucking bothered to put it in English direct even though it will be released globally.

>>720997358
Nintendo fans got rereleases of galaxy 1 and 2. They're always asking for remakes and remasters, and people have been asking for Galaxy 2 specifically on Switch for so long. They gave people what they asked for.

No big game to get excited about for the future.

>Remakes game
>Reuses franchises
>Recycles games 1 to 1
And people still buy it like drugs. Release minesweeper with Kirby faced bombs and ppl would buy it. To me Nintendo is insane consumerism and I have no clue how they made this cult so big. The quality of their games (see new Pokémon etc) is soooo average, but due to the well known franchises people jump on it like roaches. I do think growing up without a pc and only access to a Nintendo console has a lot to do with it, would explain the older playerbase even thought most of their games are clearly meant for kids.

what went wrong was when all engagement was good engagement and they started pushing rageslop to everyone's feeds.
Everyone who wasnt solely bought in on a single franchise that they pet peeve about was fine with the direct, aside from maybe the absolutely retarded raichu announcement where they utterly failed to explain what the dlc was about and made it seem like you pay day 1 just so raichu has a mega evo.

No kid that's getting the game this holiday season is gonna be getting those stones.

People literally expect new Mario, Zelda, Smash Bros, and whatever the fuck else to be announced at every single direct.

>>720997767
In the monkey paw form, where everything is at least twice the price it ought to be, sure.
Galaxy 1 and 2 togther in a bundle for $40 would be nice.

The only first party games for the 1st year of the new console are wii u looking dk and Mario kart 10. Anything is else wii ports. Oh and a new Kirby air ride which no one asked for

The nearest comparison we have for another Direct style video is State of Play.
This Direct managed to get more viewers in less time than the State of Play.
Of those viewers, a higher percentage liked the video and a lower percentage disliked the video.

I don't think anything is wrong.

People buy during launch period in the anticipation of announcements rather than because of software that already can be purchased for a system. Maybe Mario Kart and DK are like 15% of the reason people buy a Switch 2 so early. But really it's an anticipation buy, to have the thing ready for when the titles get announced. This was the first proper Switch 2 ad reel. 60 minutes, implying a big one. Everyone who invested was anticipating the payoff. And then wow, buy 3 games you already bought again plus a talking flower. It just sucks lol.

>>720999580

>I genuinely don't get why people are acting like it was somehow insulting or really bad or anything. That stuff actually feels kind of forced or fake.
Just like anyone trying to ignore any multiplats and third-parties, both of them are what I play the most on the Switch.
And yeah I agree it was a good direct with the sole small negative that Elden Ring didn't make in to announce a proper release date.

Most rage bait relies on people not looking for things themselves and just relying on the loosely made truth being spewed at them.

>>720996293
This was the first major general Switch 2 Direct since April, it was an HOUR long mind you so people understandably had high expectations because this need to be the Direct that convinces people to buy the console for the holidays.

There should’ve been some truly massive exciting 1st party announced but all we ended up with were overpriced remasters, virtual boy, overpriced dlc, overpriced amiibos and fucking FEslop of all things to end it with, pathetic.

It's amazing how they made a direct that pissed off everyone.

>>720996293
Poorfags getting angry because they've been priced out of Nintendo games. $80 isnt even that much for a new game, just get a job.

It turns out Nintendofags really wanted a new 3D Mario and Donkey Kong wasn't enough. Also Prime 4 looks shit, there's no new Nintendo IP for the 9th year in a row, and Miyamoto just wants to shill his Minions sequel.

The direct was pretty fucking bad but general attitude towards Nintendo has been on the decline before this with an excessive amount of retards either greatly exaggerating or outright making shit up for ragebait.
Today it's about the nothingburger pokemon patent that some people unironically believe stops the concept of summoning from being used. The day before that it was that Nintendo bricks your system for buying used games. The day before that it was the tariffs would cause the switch 2 to be 600 dollars and games would be $110.

So the direct being legit ass only bolstered the above nonsense since there's now some actual true bad shit, mostly nogaemz, and not just dude trust me bro redditor stories.

>>720996293
It was a good Direct, but it was a horrible Direct for the scrimblofags who were expecting a 3D Mario, Animal Crossing, or Zelda.

>>721001135
>It was a good Direct
>80% of the content was Switch 2 versions that aren't free and paid DLC

No new worthwhile games. Everything was overpriced, is the meme virtual boy reveal was soured by requiring both a $100 accessory and a subscription service. Pokemon ZA showed nothing new except letting us know its getting DLC. Resident evil is neat but I dont trust the switch to run it at 60 fps so ill be getting it on steam. Mario Tennis looked alright but its $70 which is insane. Even $50 would be a high ask. I think its funny that more people got pissed at fire emblem and not the mario prices. Other than fire emblem the new games we got are filler titles. Ya know, releases to hold people off until they get a major release.
>>720997536
even as a fire emblem fan we kinda knew that was coming even down to the three houses tie in

As someone who hasn't bought a Switch 2 and therefore doesn't feel the need to justify a purchase, I thought the direct was alright. New Yoshi, Pokopia, DR2x2, DQVII, and FE all interested me to varying degrees. The bike shit with MP4 was offputting, but I liked the rest of what I saw in that trailer. 5/10, will probably get the console in a few years.

Simple. You look at the switch and the first direct after launch announced quite a number of new games and IPs. Xenoblade 2 was a huge draw for people to get a switch early on. In comparison the switch 2 has nothing major coming for until after march 2026.

It seems that you've never participated in a tournament that Nintendo shut down because it wasn't considered official, or received a cease-and-desist letter for playing one of their games the way they didn't like, or been banned from your console for using an unofficial peripheral to export your game saves to another memory.
The problem with Nintendo and its "do things our way or screw you" policy has been going on for years now.

It’s fun as fuck so you better get it before it gets taken down.

>>721000675
They're not going to announce a new big Mario when DKB just came out. Even if they've got one in the pipes, you're not going to see that until next year, at an absolute minimum.

I never thought I'd see it, but that was genuinely a 0/10 direct, no exaggeration. It actually made me want to get a Switch 2 even LESS than I already did because now I'm convinced there's nothing good waiting behind the horizon.

>>721002071
Link? I won’t report it I swear ;)

>>721002158
>Nintendo has other things
They aren't showing them, that's the problem. This direct had fuckall for both first and third party.

>>721002225
They're still both 3d plarformers starring Nintendo mascots. Nintendo is very careful to not announce things early to cannibalize their own sales. Anyway, I personally think Bananza deserves more time in the spotlight so that more people buy it.

>>721002225
It's very clearly a game made in the same format, even if you're not a full nerd.
Stands to reason you don't need two massive quasi open world platformers released within months of each other. You space those releases out. You drop a Fire Emblem or a Yoshi game.

The fact that there's no inkling of a new Zelda is more of a questionable decision. I know they're making Hyrule Warriors, but who the fuck cares, really? Musous are a super niche genre.

>>721002463
You could play DKB, for one. It's out. It's very similar to Mario.

>>720999831
Dude, think about what happened in this latest direct:
>raichu dlc announced
>everyone is confused because they didnt elaborate on anything and it seems like day 1 dlc
>look on website
>it doesnt come out till a half a year after the main game
>is a new story
but if you are a ragebaiter:
>half hour video screaming into a mic about day 1 dlc
>"they wont even let you finish the game for 70 dollars anymore, its now a 100 dollar game they just split up the payments to make you think it was cheaper!"

Now I know that looks like nintendo has a problem communicating things, because they do, but these people will even twist something communicated perfectly well and turn it into a point of pressure because they know their audience doesnt actually watch anything but their reactions to shit. Example being that every single rage bait NDS eceleb said the following about totk:
>every shrine is trivialized by being able to just build a hoverbike and fly to the end
except that anyone who actually played the game knows that the moment you try to use autobuild or pull out zonai devices, it says:
>you cant do that here

>>720997536
even as a fire emblem fan, it was still shit. new game doesn't even look that exciting. like a neutered three houses with an alucard clone.
the fact that fatal frame 2 was the most exciting thing is telling how shit nintendo is as of late. even if it's a remake, it's still not a new game.

>>721002652
I didn't care for mario odyssey that much and banaza doesn't appeal to me.

I wasn't planning on buying a Switch 2 this year but I genuinely expected Nintendo to knock it out of the park with a homerun this Direct, to give the console a giant momentum boost for its first holiday. Instead they kinda bunted it to get to first base and that's it. Maybe the big games aren't finished yet thanks to rising development costs but it was just kinda whatever, especially since the last couple Directs were also whatever. I really hope Furukawa isn't trying to leave his mark by slowly killing Directs and shilling the shitty Nintendo Today app to be the Direct successor though.

Fire Emblem, the new Yoshi, and the Ditto game were the only new things. And I guess the new Tennis despite the heavily reused Aces assets.

The new Switch 2 exclusives (Tennis, Yoshi, Fire Emblem) could clearly run on the Switch 1. The Switch 2 is absolutely useless. Maybe they'll do Switch 1 versions if they sell like shit.

The direct was focused on the next ~6 months. The only other game I could see getting it's own direct anytime soon that didn't feature is Splatoon to cover raiders and maybe another season for 3.

There's also that odd MMO that had the playtest but who knows what that will turn into.

The main issue is that nothing shown justifies the existence of the Switch 2. Prime 4 is going to be on Switch 1. The Pokemon games look like shit. Mario got Wii games and a sports rehash. The Yoshi game deliberately runs at like 15fps for stylistic reasons and looks like it could've been on the Wii U with the others. Kirby Air Ride could've been on the Switch. Fire Emblem looks just as shit as Engage did.

People will still buy their stuff anyways. You faggots underestimate just how fickle cattle (ie. The general public) are. If FIFA still make millions off niggers despite being on a no games station, then Nintendo keeps profiting off retards and fanboys with terrible spending habits can afford their overpriced junk. Not saying "hurr durr poorfag", just saying it's mostly 'a fool and his money' thing.

Anecdotally I have 2 friends, a tendie Pokefag and a normalfag, who both bought a Switch 2, MKW and DKB.
One works on an starving artist's budget and the other a militaryfag. Both are self-aware of their consoomerism and Nintendo's shitty practices, but it's still not enough to stop them from buying because they can simply afford it, though my tendie friend seems to be a bit jaded atm in regards to DKB since the gameplay didn't click with him despite loving Odyssey. He'll likely buy the latest Pokemon and probably the DLC since he's the type of tendie who'll excuse anything Nintendo does because he wants to appear more like level-headed gray area thinker than a "hater" and also fell for the "muh tariffs" meme. If he can't afford something now he'll buy it later.
Also he bought a PS5 for FF16 and Rebirth and hasn't touched the console since beating both games.

As for my normalfag friend, he buys the latest ForM slop on his preferred console of choice he hasn't dusted off since he got it, out of habit and drops them in a week or 2 because he doesn't have the time to play most games due to fucked working hours on top of being depressed and feelings of isolation.

All this is to say the criticism is coming from a hypocritical vocal majority who just hop on the latest trend because it's popular. Pokemon will always sell millions despite how many people bitch about the stagnation in quality.

Obviously I dont know, but the website noted "story" specifically and that it was how you unlocked the raichu megas, I wouldnt bet on it, but I'm not sure its worth counting out, I'm willing to give game freak a chance with ZA just because I think they finally have pressure on them, I havent played pokemon since sapphire, but its quite the standout next to Nintendo's usual lineup of "always evolving" gameplay, so after their previous disaster I would hope nintendo tightened the leash and thats why they changed the battle system.

>on that note I find it intresting they been pushing Nintendo today an done fuck all with it.
Yeah I keep thinking that they arent using it because they arent "in full swing" yet, but then it makes me wonder when the fuck they will be.

My guess is they're going to incorporate the Garage Builder stuff and make it a shitty version of Roblox where people make their own games. I don't see it doing all that well because kids will just play Roblox. There will be a main open world hub where people put their "strand-type" creations in but that's it because Nintendo cannot make a good open world. It'll be like Dreams where people make shitty ripoffs of other games to amaze people for a week before its totally dead. But yeah I guess there's just not enough games ready to be shown yet. Also their new development building won't be finished until fucking 2028 so the people working there won't have things ready to show until 2029 at the earliest.

>>starfox & f zero so dead they would rather bring back the virtual boy
Its the opposite of what you think it means.
I dont know about starfox, but fzero has become popular again, they are testing the waters with GX 100%, and the virtual boy seems to signal that they are curious if their flops were a "time and place" issue.
It genuinely seems like a good sign for any of the dead nintendo series.

>>721004186
They objectively did not. There was like five straight announcements, and several updates on things we knew about.
>well I don't care about those games
Okay? I'm sorry. What do you want from me?

>>721000675
>paid DLC for Pokemon announced before the game is out
I still don't get how this is noteworthy. Every game that has a deluxe/ultimate edition basically announces dlc long before release and Nintendo has been announcing dlc before release at least since fire emblem fates in 2016.

>>721004201
List the ones that would have been proper announcements, as opposed to Fire Emblem.

That's absolute bullshit.
Of course we knew that Intelligent Systems wouldn't give up on Fire Emblem. But we could not predict that it wouldn't be some remake. That it would be any time soon. Or that it would actually take place in the same world as Fodlan.

>>721005402
Do you lack basic reading comprehension? I said people wanted to see more actual games, you stupid nigger. I'm not defending what they showed in the direct.

>>721005481
Guess you haven't kept your ear to the rumor mill then. The next game having a Fodlan connection was pretty known. Granted the FE community also keeps think they're getting a FE4 remake soon so I dont blame ya for dismissing or ignoring rumors

>>721005503
People are not asking for things to be out in 6 months, people are asking for announcements go get excited for and make the switch 2 worth buying, even if it is a year out.
They showed rhythm heaven would come out next year last direct and it was the best thing in that direct.

>>720996293
It lacked anything amazing or creative
>Galaxy remaster
Low effort and too expensive
>Prime 4
Been in development hell, unlikely to actually be good
>Air Riders
Potentially good, but primarily only 30yr+ who played the GameCube care, also 2nd racing game this year
>Pokemon
Quality has gotten so bad even normalfags will comment on it. Most autists would rather play romhacks or showdown.
Out of all the things shown, only remasters and fire emblem were actually newly announced.

Not a single thing like E3 or old directs that would actually generate hype for a brand new console showed up. Nintendo is lazy and their core consumer base is slowly declining until only fanatics are left

There is nothing coming out this holiday season from competitors and Nintendo still couldn’t make a system seller. Nintendo only survives because of great first party games, if they continue they will die

Yeah, sure. They are literally working on no other games. Mario and Zelda are never coming out ever again, bros. It's le over... Post a sad Mario.jpg and pour one out.

I already said it in a previous thread and just by omission in other anons posts you can tell what the problem is. Nintendo announced 4 new titles in this direct, its a lot, problem is, at least 2 of those are interesting to NO ONE, which are
>Yoshi
>Mario Tennis
One is a dark sheep and will probably be more successful than what people here are not mentioning, but as of now it seems too unconvetional to make a splash
>poketopia
And one has no universal appeal and in fact, its divisive for A LOT of reasons.
>fire emblem

The rest was dlc fluff no one likes or cares about or niche titles that dont leave enough of an impression. It was a bad direct because despite having 4 new things, none of them have enough novelty or grand appeal to make people excited.

>here's the galaxy amiibo, they each cost the price of Super Mario 3D All-stars.
>Here's another boring slow-paced Yoshi. We'll let you figure out the price.
>Here's the "peach's castle at the end of Odyssey" equivalent for Bananza that obviously didn't get into the game on time. $20
>More upcharged amiibo
>This paid dlc is here before the new Pokemon even comes out.
>More amiibo, this is the most expensive yet.
>Loyal paying online user, you unfortunately haven't spent enough to enjoy Virtual Boy.
And that's got to be the story every direct going forward. The moment after where everyone sees what the damage is this time.

Yeah, sorry. Delusional 3H lunatics has been saying this since shortly after 3H's release.
Even now it feels like only coincidence that they're "correct" more than them having had any actual basis for it. I remain sceptical even now.

Prime 4 hogging up a chunk of the direct just to show off the motorcycle and unimpressive outdoors area speaks volumes.

>>721006014
If it gives me something to look forward to, yes. Because right now there's fuckall coming up beyond MP4 and Rhythm Heaven.

Last Zelda sucked, anyone who states otherwise is coping. A “sequel” with 2 new gimmicks and twice as much empty useless overworld while also not being a real sequel is shit.
Mario Odyssey came out 8 years ago.
Bananaza already with the paid DLC is grim foreshadowing on what Mario will release with.

>>721005886
I can't believe people are going to give the new Mario Tennis a chance after the last one. It's super obvious after the 3DS era that Camelot can't design a story mode worth a shit anymore. This one even starts with another evil purple swirl hitting the characters. Oh, but this time they're turned into the babies because.

>>721005890
It’s crazy you think Nintendo is any different from Sony at this point. Difference is even Sony’s fans can acknowledge all the shit they do as being bad.

modern Nintendo Enthusiasts are the gaming equivalent to Disney adults.The best part is how ass blasted they get when you compare them to Disney adults.

Yeah I bought one mostly for MP4 since that shit is gonna be like 20 fps on switch 1. I hate 3H to my core but the new one didn't irk me as much beyond bringing back Chinatsu and a worryingly big plaza. I could also just not buy it since I'm not at a loss for things to do, we'll see next year.

Simple. Even though most won't admit it, they've been really underwhelmed by the Switch 2. It's not impressive and it doesn't feel necessary or well supported. Mario Kart World is boring slop, far inferior to the prior entry. DK Bananza is mindless and one-note. The console has nothing going for it, and so when the direct came and had nothing exciting to show, it crystalized a lot of this simmering disappointment people have been feeling and brought it to the forefront all at once..

Yeah, nothing to do with the selling switch games with minor patches as swotch 2 games, nothing to do with game keys, nothing to do with the digital game card bullshit, nothing to do with their frivolous lawsuits and patent abuse, nothing to do with their cease and desists, nothing to do with $80 games, no, that's all fine and dandy, nobody minds their shitty practices and extreme greed, all they need is one brand new Zelda!
Nintendo has been showing how heavy handed and garbage they are as a company for years now, the direct not having exciting new games is mot what's been dealt damage to Nintendo's rep, it was Nintendo themselves.

>>721007276
Pikmin 4 and Bayo 3 were the only interesting parts of the direct for me at the time, but they made up like 5 minutes of the presentation. The rest of the direct was miserable.

>>721007867
That Yoshi game was great, but the new one doesn't look that good, at least from what we've seen so far.

>>720996293
Biggest games in the direct were two games we already knew about (Pokemon and Metroid) a sequel to one of the most divisive Fire Emblem games and a Mario Galaxy port, the release landscape for next year is barren as fuck outside of some niche multiplat games like MonHun Stories 3, no indication of even so much as early development for the next Zelda, Xenoblade or Bayonetta, no new IP, no revival of an old property like last gen with stuff like Mario RPG, no word on the next iteration of Smash Bros., overpriced DLCs up the wazoo for games that don't need them (Bananza) or aren't even out yet (Pokemon) but no word on DLC for a game that actually needs it (Mario Kart World).

Yoshi Woolly World was the last time Yoshi was good, it was an honest to god sequel to Yoshi's Island with the same mechanics and gameplay minus the annoying ass baby, Crafted Workd was some Yoshi Story type bullshit and the new one once again is gimmicky and stupid, I just wish they stopped wasting time and resources maming these niche-ass Yoshi games and just made a proper aequel to Woolly World.

Anything. Literally just having multiple hobbies and not making a specific video game publishers work determine all of your personality or purchase decisions.

Console wars don’t make sense now, more or less 98% of all video games made now release on every major platform. I personally cant tell the difference between Xbox and PS5. To sit there and with a straight face say you are glad that Nintendo spent the man hours to port the worst game system they have ever released, make an expensive attachment, and put it behind a paid monthly service, instead of doing literally anything else, means your life is devoid of purpose or new experiences.

They are not floundering though. Every console has dead periods and this is not new for Nintendo. In fact Nintendo has more exclusives than both Xbox and Sony combined so if you are saying the entire industry if floundering then ok, but I don't think anyone cares for that statement.

Most of the direct you’re defending was that, and then shilling for a literal movie. Not a movie game, an actual movie.
That’s one step worse than a snoy movie game no?

>>721008735
The last State of Play had 2 or 3 great announcements like the Marvel Arcsys game, RE9 and Nioh 3, Nintendo has nothing in the oven apart from Fire Emblem, don't fucking tell me Mario Tennis and another baby-tier Yoshi game are worth wasting your precious time on.

Genuinely curious, why would you want to play the game on switch? It won’t be optimized, the community will be dead on arrival, and it likely won’t look good at all. Some of it’s not even Nintendos fault, just that modern games suck at being optimized.

I bought a switch 2 near release becuse I was going to need it for Metroid since that game is not going to run on the switch 1. Mario Kart is take it or leave it and I don't care about bananza. I had expected going into it this direct would be the big one because it is a post switch 2 launch direct and they can show more in the pipeline.
My expectations are currently let down and the future is dark until Feb/Mar, and in the meantime the only thing that will be played on my switch 2 is MP4 and replaying switch 1 games with better performance but no resolution boosts.

I also got it for potential jailbreaking but we'll see if that ever happens.

I do not care about sony. How does their absolute state of plays factor in here at all? I laugh at those because they're bad, using them as a relative achor point is lowering my standards for no reason.

>>721009164
What has you optimistic about MP4? A game that has been delayed, remade, and put off for a decade. Historically most games that enter into development hell come out super mid because of the constant change in direction.

>>721009368
You don’t understand. He needs to deflect. If you criticize Nintendo for anything then by instinct he has to bring in another company to try and defend his friends.

>>721009368
The point is that that's just a what the industry is. It's like walking into a McDonalds then crying and shitting on the floor when they won't give you a 3 Star Michelin meal.

nintendo always starts with a few big games for their new system. then they wont release shit until the end of the systems's life. those last few games will then also get a mildly upgraded port for their new system.


you only have yourself to blame if you still buy nintendo trash

Indeed they are very prideful for their own good to the point where if you show slight disinterest in their game trailers they attack you and throw the occasional Smash fan accusation strawman

>>721009834
But your analogy is wrong. There's no hit in quality because Nintendo directs have always been like this. Some have big first party announcements, but most are repeats and filler stuff like Mario sports games. If you're actually expecting mainline Zelda+Mario+Metroid+Animal Crossing every direct then you're actually delusional. And I will repeat again how Sony directs are just peppered with multiplats now too.

File: lil sleepy.png (218 KB, 855x667)

Watching the Switch 2's reveal and subsequent launch gave me real Xbox One vibes, and Nintendo's general faggotry killed any interest I had in the console. The lack of games isn't surprising to me, either.

Didn't one of the last directs show off a game that was just making a campfire? Not that something like that doesn't sound cozy in a weird way, but it's pretty underwhelming for a Nintendo Direct showcase.

I’d love to grab a drink with Reggie. Yes he was a glorified mouthpiece but I’m sure he has hot takes about Nintendo now that he’s retired.

You are missing the point. I don’t think most people expect giant releases every single direct, but this is the first major direct after a system release and right before the holiday season starts. A system that released, mind you with very little in terms of new games. There is a time and place for small directs and tiny updates, and this wasn’t one of those times.

I don’t know why people are mad. I’m convinced that gamers don’t play video games at this point. I play video games and I constantly have the next six months pretty much booked up as far as new releases go.

And it’s been this way since 2017. There is so much to play. And that’s even more true after this direct.

Why so obsessed with 3d Mario? I actually don't get it, a big part of Mario's appeal is that he's the Micky Mouse of video games, so he, and his friends can be used in any context and still make sense. So from this you get Mario sports games, Mario party games, Mario racing games, Mario rpgs, etc.
This was literally always Miyamoto's vision for the franchise since Mario appeared in Wrecking Crew and was the referee in Punch Out on NES.

It makes sense why they held off so long in showing this. No fucking games. Just Switch 2 ports of Switch games very few people will buy, 2 racing games (MKW and Air Riders) one of which is a controversial game that many think falls short of what came before, and so much focus on services. The gamecube and Virtual Boy shit for NSO.
They even lost their indie niche since so many gaming tablets have come out since Switch 1.
