Yup basically, im still kinda stunned that nintendo thinks a fall full of ports is something we want.
His game got a spotlight, I don't hold anything against him for it.
Guys...I have been reading the past few pages and I have something very important to say.
Please use the term reactionary correctly. It does not mean "to respond in reaction to something", it actually means "a person who holds views that are anti-reform and anti-socially liberal" (ie right-winger, conservative). The term you guys are looking for is "reactive".

Whats the difference between announcing Partner/Indie Directs days or weeks in advance and shadow dropping them, when it seems everyone here is so against them in the first place?
The developers that actually pay to be on the Partner Showcases are actually brave. They are really out there putting their games on one of gaming industry most hated showcases LMAO. Jokes aside though, if i were a developer, i wouldn't really put my stuff on a Partner Showcase. I don't blame the devs though, they probably paid for this months prior.

Nate had said it wasn't going to be a partner showcase though.
I know plans can change but in that case don't say stuff like that. I know it's partly my fault in listening but at this point I'm confident in saying the insiders aren't reliable, at least for this year.
God works in mysterious ways, no need to do any re-evaluation - any rumour should be taken with a pinch of salt. That's it.
I always thought it was weird that Nintendo would hold a Direct during Gamescom. Just seemed like odd timing to me. The Showcase drop today makes sense. Whatever other first-party games they have planned before end of the year, I'm sure we will know about them very soon.
Thank god they aren't and, apart from both Partner fiasco (I mean, they still knew a direct was coming), they're usually dead on right.
I don't think Nintendo views their current 2020 slate as the best case scenario.

Nah that's the fans and the insiders sources.
Nintendo's probably Homer sitting on the couch as always not doing anything.
Who said Q2, the Bloomberg article states early next year, Q1. Maybe March? The article states that the release of switch upgrade with new games is maybe what this has been a quite year for Nintendo on the games front. Thrust in Nintendo. I predict Nintendo general direct before sept 16.
As someone who owns a Wii U, a PS4 and a gaming PC, the Switch has been extremely disappointing, almost every game worth playing I can get somewhere else.
I mean this time next week we'll be 2 days into September, so it's not as if "things'll happen next month" is some far-off thing
I figure we'll be seeing Partner Directs every month until the end of the year, though, unless the reaction to them causes Nintendo to budge (which I doubt).

Fool me once - shame on you (July Partner Direct)
Fool me twice - shame on me (August Partner Direct)
Fool me thrice - scream FUCK YOU at my screen (September Partner Direct)

Yeah he explained why. He knew about a direct of some kind this week, and he was told Mario collection was also going to be announced this week, so he assumed it was a general.
Guess I should devote more time to the backlog than to reading these direct threads. I like the partner showcases in theory, but they just fall flat when Nintendo development news is nonexistent.
Friendly reminder
Hi everyone.
Just a quick reminder. Do not antagonise your fellow members, whether they are insiders or not.
It's fine to be disappointed/frustrated etc, but if you can't join the conversation without taking it out on other members, you're better off ignoring the thread.

Last time they were actually like this we got the Direct of desperation of early 2013 where they announced games that wouldn't be out for 2+ years at that point. Here they seem to be overly relaxed instead.How i unironically imagine Nintendo rn

At this point I would just appreciate Nintendo being honest and announcing that due to COVID, titles planned for this year are no longer going to be delivered. Outright saying that they don't have titles to show off publically yet due to the pandemic is much better than them not saying anything.
It would be odd if Mario is announced on twitter on Friday, but who knows with Nintendo
Me: 10% sad I have to wait even longer.
Also me: 90% enjoying this timeline, because this had more twists than an M. Night Shyamalan movie.
