There's a streamer I watch (Failboat), who's usually pretty chill and upbeat, but man, even he let the rumors get to him and build up his expectations, and now he's kind of being really salty about it.
That's the problems with rumors, alot of them sound really good, even possible, but most of the time, they aren't real and thus make you much more saltythan you would if you just didn't put much thought about it & wait.
Like.. why not though? It's just trailers edited together. Trailers that they've been releasing anyway. Like, imagine the two partner showcases edited together and with the Paper Mario and Pikmin 3 announcement trailers. There you go! Pretty meaty direct.
To be fair, it’s impossible to know exactly how hard the virus has affected Nintendo. I’m not getting my hopes up.
You mean to tell me that your life doesn't revolve around video game advertisements? What a mad lad.
There's a lot more logistics to it than that.

put it pretty well in the speculation thread:It's not just editing trailers together. You need to be in contact with partners, have time tables, release schedules and pipelines you can count on, and coordination with everyone involved in marketing for regions across the world. Covid-19 has mucked around with all of that and makes the situation extremely fluid, and Nintendo is a careful company: They don't like showing things unless they feel 100% positive they can show it off and release it when they say they will. They're a prideful company that values their trade secrets, and whenever they delay a game or show something off ahead of time, it's only really ever for major projects that need it, of which we already know what their major game at the moment is: BotW 2. Who knows how far along that is as well. Could be early next year, could be early 2022: We don't know, and without fully knowing what's going on on their end, it's a little difficult for me to say "They should just do this" when honestly, none of us are experienced in running a company or are privy to the internal affairs of what's going on at the moment. Covid clearly hit them hard, and given it wasn't exactly something they could have known about or prepared for, I personally am not holding their release slate this year against them.
Yeah. But like.... every other game development studio has basically recovered. Not to where they were but to a good place where they can talk about stuff they're working on. So it's a little suspicious that the one that makes the most money and has the most resources is the one trying to play the "things are hard right now, please understand" card.There's a lot more logistics to it than that.

Things are hard right now for everyone.
To be fair, I do pay attention alot to gamings news, mostly Nintendo, but still.
Tbh, Nintwndo more than likely has games to show.
Nintendo is not at all the one with the most resources. For the amount of money they make, Nintendo doesn't at all have the same size studios or partners Sony or especially Microsoft has, and their company culture is extremely rooted in tradition from what I've personal seen and read about it. They do things with an old-school mindeset, love it or hate it.
Just don't put a release date at the end of the trailer. They've done it before.
That's not how they operate, though.
I agree, but I'm assuming they don't want another Prime 4 situation.
Well, I think it's a very selfish mindset. They need to know that with how much people love them and their games that a few trailers and announcements would help a lot of people get through this. Not me. Not mad. Not angry. Not trying to start a fight. Not trying to rant. I'm just mildly frustrated.

, as they are SEGA fans too and I wonder how they felt about Puyo Puyo Tetris 2.
actually i'm not super jazzed about it, it's a neat announcement but puyo puyo in particular ain't really my thingAlso want to tag
You know, I read that Miyamoto was an active smoker prior to the turn of the century, which potentially makes him high risk. That knowledge makes their silence somewhat justifiable in my eyes, and just worsens the reputation of a bunch of these zealots. It truly is cursed to consider oneself a Nintendo fan with these blokes, ain’t it?
Wouldn’t certain characters be repetitive like Gabby Jay?
Not with enough fine tuning and creativity
I didn't mean every character that has ever been in the franchise has to be in. Just every character they choose to include in that game. Though of course, Glass Joe and King Hippo are musts at the very least. Also, they could change up the character enough.
I listen to Ian Flynn's podcast and I know SEGA can be very strict with what he can and can't do. Meaning if Blaze's dimension exists here, it's main series cannon now. Which is strange because Eggman Nega was still Eggman's descendant in Olympics 2020
Dogs are the best. I don't know what the world would have been like without our furry friends. ^_^
Happy National Dog Day! Dogs are amazing friends!!!
