What are you talking about, CLEARLY this one's been ready since 2017, Nintendo are just waiting to release it until nobody cares about Metroid anymore and Prime 4 is cancelled.
You can expect what you want.
No it won't. People keep comparing it to those when it's just not the same confidence, not the same insiders, etc etc. Come on, you can't fool the likes of Jason Schreier and Zhuge lol
If the games are coming and we're told what they are, no one gives a shit about who's leading the company outside of fanboys looking to turn businesses into cults of personality.
Star fox GP had a lot less going for it compared to the Mario Collection. Being GP never had a true confirmation of it supposedly being real if you actually go back and read the original reports (especially Schreier's). Whereas Mario has an anniversary to celebrate and other merchandise are being released to celebrate it as well
Yeah it sucks, but just remember that we were not expecting a Direct before September anyway, and that Captain Tsubasa has told us he knew Nintendo planned to do their big Direct at the end of summer. It'll soon be there, less than 2 months, hold on !
I would suggest to take a break from all of this if this is the case for you, it doesn't seems worth it.
Don't do this to yourself. Context is different this time.
When did he say that?
True.
Yeah. I get why people are disappointed after the build up in expectations, but we're pretty much back to where we where - except we'll have a bit more info on third-party stuff and maybe release dates/windows for some of the exclusives (c'mon Bravely Default and No More Heroes). I think Nintendo can improve the situation a bit if these Partner Showcase things have another installment soon.
The worst part of this is the Mario event was supposed to take place in early May. It's almost August and there's no sign of it anywhere.
That is not something that should happen.
On the one hand, this is the first of a series of directs, so you might get more to look forward to next week etc. On the other hand, with how hard this news has hit you, it might be best for you to not get your hopes up for future announcements either. Hope you feel better soon, and hopefully there'll be some fun announcements today we haven't anticipated!
Yeah, I didn't mean to imply not to trust any insider to a certain degree, especially the proven ones. Just don't take their words as 100% confirmation. I rather view their input in these threads as guiding expectations and giving rough estimates, but nothing I'd take for granted/set in stone in the end.
Fo you honestly think third parties don't port their games on nintendo consoles because fans are mean on online forums rather than the fact that nintendo consoles aren't up to the technological level of the competition since the wii?
Aurora borealis? In your kitchen? xDWhenever someone asks about Nintendo's future lineup:
And some were adamant about it.
Lol, this scene is always so hilarious !
I didn't know how much I didn't actually want to know the answer lol.
I get where you're coming from, and I think there's definitely merit to that argument in a general sense (people obviously prioritize Nintendo first-parties over third-parties), but I'm not sure it's a full explanation for the disappointment people are experiencing in this specific instance.
Captain came around when the direct was announced and clarified on their "S" and "M" hints along with answering a question on if they still were believing another direct to get released within 2-3 months. Basically this direct came as a surprise to them and they thought this was going to contain the direct info that was planned for late summer
This is not a Nintendo-specific thing by any means- remember how people reacted to Microsoft's third-party stream a few months back?
I thought it might be due to the English wording, but Nintendo DE's tweet ain't any better...
PLEASE STOP
When he explained why he teased the Mario gameS stuff. That he knew about it being planned in a direct for late summer, so he was surprised when he heard about a direct already coming out, so he just assumed it was coming early.
