all I have to say on the matter is that this is a literal nobody who joined Twitter in July of 2020 and started posting "leaks" in July of 2020...
Yeah, I noticed that. Don't blame me, I got this from another thread.
Still, about what I posted earlier, (the tweet, which I misread) I think it could be wrong. This is his among his first leaks, and he seems to be bandwagoning off of, other who may have said that.
This. This so much. At this point, I have no faith they are doing anything. The recent numbers out of Japan showed that the Switch and Animal Crossing are still selling hundreds of thousands of copies, and blowing the PS4 out of the water. They could easily ride out the rest of this year and just devote themselves to extremely "minor" announcements. That Mario remake collection could carry them, easily. I'm starting to believe the insiders saying Nintendo is going to sit this year out. They've shown me no proof otherwise and they are definitely not the type of company to blow us away with a massive surprise. If anything they're just going to hold their cards close to their chest for much longer, which is exactly what they do in these situations.
It's either the first week, the second week, the third week or the last week.
I predict Nintendo will turn from their silent course on the 5th full week of August.
To be fair though, Nintendo isn't knocking it out of the park due to any form of competence. They just won the lottery by having the cheapest console and the most dominant portable system during a world wide pandemic. Parents are stuck at home with their hellspawn and are desperate to distract them, hence the massive influx in Switch sales. The disgusting part is that Nintendo honestly thinks that they're just that damn good.
Who dis? What's their track record?
Exactly. Right now we just have to wait and see what next week brings
oof poor xbox
The Xbox brand has always performed poorly in Japan, so this is nothing new
There’s also the fact that their main competition, Playstation, is about to have a major new backwards-compatible system release that we’ve known about since early-mid 2019, and said launch is only three-four months or so away. New PS4 console sales have slowed to a crawl just because people are waiting for the release of the PS5, while Switch doesn’t have an imminent 2/Pro version that would otherwise distract sales.
Lord this hurts so much because of how true this is
Seeing it all laid out like this..
Sony 2021: "This year we going to kick things off with a bang with 15 new AAA releases!"
I did not say you had to believe him. Maybe it was my mistake to bring it up, but I did not know he had one thing right only. Perhaps we should ignore this?
If we're thinking of the same 4Chan post, the guy never said League of Legends would be Fp7, and I don't think a Deus Spirit event was mentioned
Oh no, sorry, that's not what I mean. What I was trying to say it's that we shouldn't trust this guy until he gets more things right. It's not bad to bring these things up.
Yeah, my bad, he wasn't who predicted the Deus spirit event, but he was who predicted the LOL rep:
How sad (and a bit of poetic karma) that Gameexplain has had more Nintendo related videos from this leak in the past week alone than videos based on actual Nintendo news from this year.
I don't know, a January Direct is looking likely right now...
I totally forgot the claims about a direct at the beginning, but now I'm remembering a rather notable one from Zippo "Two Directs in February" Man. I accuse people of brushing blunders under the rug, but I suppose that I'm complicit in it since I don't keep a running log of every time someone blows a prediction.
The year is 2021. Video games cost $70 a pop for the PS5 and Xbox Fridge because people will indeed eat that **** up. Nintendo, however, has not produced a game since July of 2020. They have opened a GoFundMe with the promise of delivering games in 2022 as long as they meet their $10,000,000 goal.
It's probably par for the course, but Nintendo did enumerate in their end of fiscal year report that they would take appropriate actions to stop leaks of customer information as well as secret business information.
The other problem is that this isn't one or two things being used as leakbait. Many insiders have indicated many different games and plans that's enough to fill an entire year. If all if this was leakbait, then its too diluted to accurately narrow down who has a legit source in Nintendo that's leaking.
the timing seems to imply LoL would be FP7, as FP6 (Min Min) was next in queue
>tfw kayn main in LOL
At this point it may actually be that way with all these delays.
I'ma take a break.
I mean games to look forward to =/= games sold. There’s no way Odyssey, Smash, Mario Kart, Zelda, and Animal Crossing AREN’T sellin well. It’s just a shame we hardcore fans who’ve had these games for a while now have nothing to look forward to.
