Good going Nintendo on distancing yourselves from that steaming pile of poop!Is this "good going Nintendo" or then distancing themselves from a steaming pile of poop?

It seems a bit unlikely Nintendo would want to jeopardize their great relationship with Blizzard over this, especially when they themselves are partnering with Tencent for China...
I have to imagine that Blizzard would be understanding that the platform holder doesn't want an association with their scandal.Platform holder promotions for high profile third party games (really, for all games to an extent) are implicit, and right now, Nintendo doesn't seem to be following through on that.
at least there's still bayonettaSucks, cause Smash needed some serious female/LGBT representation and she would have been perfect for that :-/
This is definitely a story. Nintendo dropped Overwatch like a hot potato in terms of promotion.
As I posted, it's not purchasable in Germany too. Is this on Nintendo or Blizzard?I just clicked "Buy Digital" on the NA website and got an error code.
Yeah I've heard they are in Brisbane too from friends in the city. It seems like a potential US blackout, maybe to keep Blizzard away from Us Nintendo.Nintendo bought bus ads for Overwatch Switch in Sydney, Australia so they haven't completely avoided promoting it.
Read the OP, it's about news section and Twitter advertising.On the eShop.
On the Recent Releases section, you have to scroll down to see Overwatch - It's not on the top page.
It's listed in chronological order. Overwatch was a midnight release on Tuesday, and so it is listed first among the Tuesday releases.On the Eshop.

Up in NA, down in EU. Apparently.
Not in the US. I can still buy it. I'm seeing three listings for "Overwatch: Legendary Edition" and only one is purchasable though.
Likelier that TW3 is just selling better, no?The initial announcement is in the news section, but nothing since. Also, Witcher 3 is on the best sellers on eshop list, Overwatch is not...

The problem is not to partner with Chinese companies, the problem is when it compromises core values and moral principles.Don't confuse this with Nintendo supporting HK. They just want to remain neutral. They are still partnered with Tencent for Switch release in China. Remaining under the radar is their best *business* move. It is still all about the money. So let's stop with the good guy Nintendo posts. No corporation has a soul or conscience.
Agreed. I doubt Nintendo is doing this for any other reason other than avoiding any controversyDon't confuse this with Nintendo supporting HK. They just want to remain neutral.

So let's stop with the good guy Nintendo posts. No corporation has a soul or conscience.
Nah - people are just trying to convince themselves that Nintendo had some big as promotion plan for thé Overwatch release.This is definitely a story. Nintendo dropped Overwatch like a hot potato in terms of promotion.
Those print jobs take a long time. Would have been all but complete before the shitstorm.Yeah I've heard they are in Brisbane too from friends in the city. It seems like a potential US blackout, maybe to keep Blizzard away from Us Nintendo.
Yeah, that's what I was going for. But given Overwatch is a download even with the physical release, and that it's cheaper, compared to the Witcher which is a very large download digitally and comes with extra freebies physically, meaning it should be skewed more physical, well Overwatch should have been comfortably ahead of it.Likelier that TW3 is just selling better, no?
Though neither is on my bestsellers list.
Ah, never mind then, that's my bad.That's because Overwatch is counted as a bundle, since it includes 3 months of nintendo switch online.
Bundled games don't show up on the best sellers list
Overwatch was definitely planned to be the bigger push from Nintendo. It had the headlining spot in the Nintendo Direct, Nintendo partnered with Blizzard in the past for Switch hardware bundles, and TW3 promotion from Nintendo has been muted and minimal.Nah - people are just trying to convince themselves that Nintendo had some big as promotion plan for thé Overwatch release.
TW3 was always the more important release and Luigi's Mansion 3 is releasing soon.
Makes sense that they don't want promote Blizzard content right now...but I don't think they had alot planned anyway.
I do n it want to disrupt the narrative you all are working so hard on, but I just went to the switch store on my phone and Overwatch Legendary is the first thing that shows
I really don't understand these posts remotely even think a company would care about HK in any wayDon't confuse this with Nintendo supporting HK. They just want to remain neutral. They are still partnered with Tencent for Switch release in China. Remaining under the radar is their best *business* move. It is still all about the money. So let's stop with the good guy Nintendo posts. No corporation has a soul or conscience.
Nintendo isn't relevant in China so they have nothing to lose, I wish all companies that are irrelevant in China did the same
