    even if you’re a nintendo fan, you don’t have to tune in to 1 hour of advertisements, you know

    i promise, once it’s over you’ll find out about all announcements you care about in other ways

      Putting it on while doing something is fine

      You don’t need to tell people what to watch

      I don’t understand why people have issues with shows like this, it’s not like ads on annoying news websites, people want to watch them, I’m not watching but I think it’s quite exciting waiting for a trailer you want to see (silksong for example) compared to seeing it in a news article afterwards.

      Screw that—that 30 minute premiere for Kirby Air Riders was pure bliss. If it’s a game I love, I want all the detes I can get.

      This is the same fanbase that dropped $500 for a slightly better Nintendo Switch, there’s no reasoning with them.

        This is a company that will sue you if you even watch this press release incorrectly, but they’re still coming at the bit

        nintendo directs were always advertisements, it’s kinda their goal: to advertise to you upcoming nintendo products

        I guess Iwata and Reggie made them more pleasant to watch, but they were still ads

        Seems too soon to be announcing a 3D Mario or Zelda for holiday release, but I could see them announcing something for spring release in hopes of boosting holiday sales.

        Tbh I think TOTK and BOTW have enough legs, especially with the Switch 2 releases, and I suspect the next Zelda will take some time because it’ll be a much different installment than the last two. But goddamn if I’m not ready for a new 3D Mario.

          Wasn’t a lot of the usual names from the 3d mario studio’s last game (dk) missing from the credits? I heard someone say it’s probably because they were working on a 3d mario in parallel… hopefully

    Others: Hopefully a new Mario or Zelda game, that‘d be so hype!

    Me: Hopefully Switch 2 updates for all Xenoblades, that‘d be so hype!

    (And Fire Emblem please lol)

      Same! Xeno 2 needs some love given how it suffered a bit from lack of resources and time to tune it when it released. And X needs that performance patch.

        All of them could do with native res and 60 fps, I hope that‘s not something that needs serious engineering power…
