>already knew about the poor reception from the september direct and didn’t do anything about it for the next one>has 4 first/second party games that still need more info, didn’t include any of them in it and just did a partner showcase>have already set a recent precedent that partner showcases can have some exciting stuff, could possibly even show off duskbloods, spend 90% of the direct talking about games we already knew about, with only one exclusive and no duskbloodsWhat is happening over there? Are they just being lazy or do they really not have anything to show us right now?

Nintendo is doomed thread #474929
>>732766072Dude, I have a switch 2 and love dk bananza, kirby air riders, and mario kart world, I just want some more heavy hitters and actual news on the games they’ve already announced
>>732766065What do you mean
>>732766289If you give people the game they want you can't tease them with the possibility of it being there. Why do you think direct predictions are a thing? It's called marketing.
>>732766454Seems like the last direct was anti marketing then
>>732766850But you watched it hoping to see a glimpse of duskbloods.
>>732767157More just to catch a glimpse of anything I like, which I didn’t see besides a collection of bomberman games I can emulate.
>minutely snoy cope thread
>>732766225I wouldn't rule out a general direct in feb or march. Zelda 40th and revealing 3D Mario now could help the Mario movie as well
>>732766454>we don't have games on purpose! It's called marketing!
>>732768269Correct, and now thousands of mario groids, zeldcels, fagzero posers and multiplat beggars know about a bomberman collection they would have never cared about.
>>732769612And can just emulate all the games for it
Bump
>>732774076oh I thought this wasn't a nintendoom thread OP? >>732766225why are you bumping this shit off page 10 like a schizo?
>>732765992Their hardware and Animal Crossing sales during COVID mindbroke them and they've just been totally phoning it the fuck in ever since.
>>732765992they fucked up. I don't think the head honchos realise they don't have any games. They probably thought Drag x Drive counted as a game when to us it might as well not exist. They probably also thought Nintendo Switch 2 editions count as games because the WiiU games did well on Switch 1, without realising how different the situation is now. They're totally out of touch. The Switch made then 10s of billions of dollars that they should have invested back into making games but instead they just have it sitting around, uninvested, liquid cash, totally unproductive. And now it means that this many years on thay have no games to release. Whoooooops
>>732775465I think its a soft launch of Switch 2 because they want to milk the 155m switch 1 install base more. They have recommended 3rd parties tagprget Switch 1 and been slow to send out Switch 2 devkitsSwitch 2 has no AAA exclusives (no DK Banzingo is not AAA) and there is nothing on the horizon either: Soft launch
>>732776297>tagprgetdry your tears before nigger posting at the very least ffs.
>>732776297I guess they're getting the hardcore buy-anything market out of the way first, and then separately releasing the system sellers for everyone else, maybe as a load-management thing. It's difficult to have enough supply all at once if both sets of people are trying to buy units at the same time. By splitting up the timing you get the dedicated fans who were going to buy a switch 2 even if a game never came out for it buying at one time, and people who buy for a game (smash, mario, zelda, animal crossing, etc.) when those games come out. At least, it's a story that makes sense. Realistically their games are probably just taking way too long these days, the same as every other developer
>>732765992Pretty sure the switch 2 is a soft launch at this point. For whatever reason they are milking the shit out of the switch 1, probably for ego purposes to beat Sony's PS2 sales. They also know that it's only year 1 and they intend to make the switch 2 last for a decade at least.
>three hour anti-nintendo thread>22 postsimagine spamming so many anti-nintendo threads people don't even engage themyou're as irrelevant online as you are in real life
>>732776954I get the feeling not many people visit /v/ anymore in general. it's pretty empty
>>732777135Yeah, why shitpost and ragebait for free on /v/ when you can monetize it on xitter
>>732777135you can blame mods for this >>732777340and letting schizo faggots run rampant and letting them get away with shitting up threads and topics for years
>>732777340twitter doesn't show me shitposts and ragebait for some reason
>>732765992they shoul put samus in that banner as well
>>732776589>Realistically their games are probably just taking way too long these days, the same as every other developerNintendo's on a different level though. Mario Kart World taking 8 years is preposterous considering its graphical fidelity targeted the Switch 1, and its world/mechanics are nowhere near as intricate as the likes of BotW's (which took 5 years to make). and of course there's TotK taking longer to make than BotW did with nearly twice as many devs
>>732777648yeah I feel like something has really gone wrong at Nintendo
>>732765992There's a lot of bangers coming in the next couple months.
>>732777951really? when are they getting announced?
>>732765992It's okay when Tokyo does It!
>>732777135The amount of people who come to /v/ has definitely went down a lot. You can blame some of that on when the site went down for a few weeks, but the fact they aren't coming back means there are more issues. It could be the industry itself not being as exciting, what >>732777451 says about mods, or a combination of this and other longstanding things that are coming to a head. I've been coming here less and less too.
>>732777638Sorry Samus, you’ll be better as a Smash only character
>>732778816i think those spanish guys are still making metroid games
>>732777743I'm starting to realize that them hiring a shit ton of devs across Japan wasn't to pump out more new games for their catalog but to try offsetting whatever the fuck went wrong. And here's the scary thing - their recent games have all still been Switch 1 games that they heldover/crossgen'd, or using Switch 1/WiiU fidelity assets. This gen is about to get worse whenever they finally make the leap to the Switch 2's PS4-level fidelity.
>>732777648 It's wild that MK9 still isn't out despite MK8 being nearly a decade old and selling better than water. Like, how does that not get priority fast-tracked? Either their dev pipeline is a disaster or they're saving it as a "break glass in case of emergency" card for a Switch 2 lull. And yeah, TotK being delayed that long for what’s essentially BotW with sky islands and homing meat arrows just proves something is busted in EPD. Either they’re overpolishing, overengineering, or just bogged down in their own bureaucracy.
>>732776531sorry I was masturbating when I typed that
