I mean, the whole point of a indie direct is to highlight the games people didn't or don't care about. It isn't a place to dump big game announcements, it's to focus on the smaller things and give smaller devs a spotlight they otherwise couldn't get.
Should people be frustrated at a lack of first party news? In a general sense, absolutely. But I don't think those frustrations should be taken out on an indie Direct. It's not like Nintendo said it was going to be a general and then only showed indie games. They said indie Direct and delivered just that
Then great. Get them to vary the palate for a bit.
And it's thanks to you Wade and our discussions that I'm currently working through my stuff on it. Showing it to you guys has been a real morale boost for me. Hatster hope you can also join into our talks eventually.
OK. I've been told this so much that it's beginning to be annoying. Especially since it just sounds like to me "I agree! The direct sucked! But you see! That's because.... IT WAS SUPPOSED TO! Ha! Your criticism is invalid!" Like, I'm not upset about it but it feels like you guys are trying to make me upset. Why can't people just be allowed to be disappointed? Why can't they express that opinion without being openly insulted by ****ing Walmart? Why is the only reaction allowed being happy with it?
It's not necessarily that the only option is to be happy(or whatever you're going on about), but it's moreso how you reacted. Saying "they were mostly fine, nothing really interested me though" or something along those lines is fine. Saying something along the lines of "where are all the GOOD announcments? I want Shovel Knight GIVE ME GAMES I ACTUALLY KNOW NINTENDO" comes off as entitled if I have to be blunt. Especially considering that kind of attitude misses the entire point of having an entire separate type of Direct for indie games.
Bug fables won out because Modern Paper Mario is trash. Lol
But the direct didn't suck? That's what we've been trying to tell you.
Did it though? Because most people enjoyed both.
I feel Origami King is better than the other games of the modern era by a VERY large margin, but god damn Sticker Star... oh no Sticker Star ptsd intensifies
Maybe if they had been to McDonalds at least once in the months they've been asking to go then maybe they wouldn't be so mad that mom isn't listening to them now.
A game that totally deserves that? Fighting EX Layer. It is such a good fighter and deserves more spotlight. I think a Switch port would really boost it. Hopefully it gets one at some point.
Good luck making "Origami King is trash because it's not TTYD 2.0" accept this.
They've had plenty of bigger releases this year. In fact, pretty much all of their releases this year have sold phenomenally: Animal Crossing is a juggernaut, Club House Games is an incredible casual game, Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive was loved by Xenoblade fans, Paper Mario: The Origami King is on it's way to being the best selling Paper Mario, and that's just a few things from Nintendo themselves. Speaking of Animal Crossing, it's sold a whopping 21 million units in just little under six months.
Hit it on the head dude.

no offence but to speak for a few people I'm not gonna try to get into another discussion like this with you two days in a row. It's actually a bit mentally exhausting.
I was never really a fan of this great divide tbh. There's room for both Classic PM, and Modern PM, and Bug Fables is a good way of bringing back Classic PM, while OK is by far some of the best modern PM (in some cases, it outshone the classics) had to offer.
And I'm not angry. I just want people to understand why other people are and have a little empathy. Because trashing them like this is only gonna make things worse and make the community more toxic.
This analogy doesn't work in the slighest.
Tbh I wish I could play the original 2 just so I can see how good they are for myself.... but.... I don't own a gamecube or 64 and would likely cost me my lungs to buy. RIP Wii VC cause that was the only other option.
No one is trashing them, people just don’t like it when others set their expectations way too high and assume we’ll get things we weren’t promised, only to get upset and blindly call a presentation bad because it didn’t have what they wanted personally.
As far as I can tell most of the people that played OK were people who never played the first three and have nothing to compare it too.
64 is really easy to get if you have a Wii U.
How many times do I have to say I'm not angry? I don't care about the direct like at all. I just think you guys are being mean! Was it kind of disappointing to me? Well, yeah. There wasn't really anything for me in it. But I don't care because I wasn't expecting anything. People expecting Zelda or anything like that? Ridiculous, unless you're talking about Cadence of Hyrule. But people who are upset because they are sick of seeing small stuff and want a big direct to blow their socks off because the world sucks right now and they want nintendo to make it feel better? That's not unreasonable. Are they overreacting? Absolutely. But are you guys making it worse by insulting them? 100%. Just be nice.Hit it on the head dude.
As the kid I quoted here, there's a right mature way and a wrong childish way. You're clearly doing it in the latter way. That's the point people are making here. So take a break here and wind your neck for a bit before coming back.
Again, I haven’t seen anyone here being outright rude. It’s totally fine to be disappointed because you didn’t get what you want, though “it’s not what I wanted” is a pretty poor argument when it comes to saying why what you got is bad.
Comparing the first three games to the later games is like night and day, man.
This doesn't make their opinions invalid. I don't have to play through every single Fire Emblem game to say that yes, Three Houses was a good game.
I think you're massively overstating the people who didn't play the first 3 and bought Origami King. And what about those who did and still liked TOK? Saying something like that is a copout, it's like saying most of those who didn't like TOK are just TTYD fanboys, regardless if they even like TTYD or not.
What server? May you please tell me?I’ll second that, you’re more than welcome to join my serverHat N' Clogs if you wish.
I never said it did make their opinions invalid.
Let me think on it.I’ll second that, you’re more than welcome to join my server
That's incredibly dismissive.
Objective quality is an artificial construct. All it means is that a majority of people like it. As an example, I've loved Ben 10 all my life. And all my life I was told it was a bad show. But then, low and behold, Kuro the Artist blows up and people come out of the woodwork and people start praising the show. It's a meaningless phrase.
