Clearly your mentions are not full of people yelling at you about spoiling the surprise by reporting on the sometimes-iffy insider *checks notes* Nintendo of Japan
Woah, wait, are all three mentioned, including N64, or just Game Boy and Game Boy Color?
Hm, I see. I'll take it as a good sign for Bayo 3 regardless! :)
I think everyone was surprised and revolted over that thread title. The reveal just instilled anger in all parties.
Why though? People like surprises. The surprise is spoiled and people don't like that. It's not rocket science.
How would you feel if your SO was building up to this amazing gift for your birthday, but then have your mother in law tell you what it is the evening before your birthday?
The title originally listed that Nintendo of Japan posted about Kirby and Bayo 3.
Shocker, but some people get more excited when the reveal is happening proper, with trailer and all than just reading a header lol.

Pretty much. I think it's sad that people are tripping over themselves to make belittling posts about people who wanted to watch the Direct and be surprised. It's really not hard to comprehend why people care.
You don't get to keep this gift, it's an advertisement. From a corporate company.
Having fun with it isn't ridiculous, it's getting so attached to marketing that having a game title revealed and even considering it a spoiler and a cause for upset that is.
One of those things is not like the other.
Nintendo is not your SO and finding out a game name is not your amazing birthday gift.
You're putting trailers and announcements as equal to TV shows, movies and books?
It's not a joke
The whole thing is silly. I love and enjoy directs, but the idea that they can be spoiled is asinine. It's enjoyable corporate marketing but it's still an ad. There is nothing to spoil
lmao this, basically. like calm down, it's videogame news. It's not the plot of a movie, it's not the plot of a game, it's not the plot of a TV show, it's like someone "spoiling" a movie trailer. Besides, no details were given, we know there will be a kirby game, it could be a f2p game, it could be a full-fledged one, it could be a spin-off. Who knows?
For some people, like myself, the excitement is part of the gift.
Cool? How does people wanting to go into it without knowing stuff impact you?
It's part of the overall end product. Lots of people made an effort to go in blind to the new Matrix trailer
For real though, obviously I personally don't care about spoilers, I'm in this thread after all... but anyone arguing against the people who are upset about getting this spoiled for them are assholes
Johnny's not going to get any presents because he's not allowed to be spoiled on saturday morning commercials to ask Santa for it in the first place.
Absolutely this. You don't have to care about it yourself, but if you know other people do care then just don't be a dick about it.
Now nothing? We are on a video game forum talking about pointless bullshit. That's the point. Should I have some lofty plan with my bullshit talk in a sea of bullshit talk?
Also unlike your example, this is like going to a website called movie trailers and seeing the movie trailer before seeing it at the theater the day you were going to go, and being pissed at the site for hosting it and not blaming yourself for going to a site dedicated to that subject.
The rule of thumb for spoilers was to avoid the internet if you don't want to be spoiled. And going to a gaming site that's had leaks happen is like asking for something bad to happen.
You're saying people are being asinine over being excited for announcements and not wanting them to leak. When you say shit like that, it's expected that you have more to say. Clearly it's not so asinine.
It IS pretty asinine to feel so strongly about how other people digest fun lol
Goddamn step away for a while, you are getting out of hand here
I get being annoyed by spoilers but this isn't exactly "NEW F-ZERO" or "MARIO ODSYSSEY 2!" level stuff either. "A new Kirby game" is like clockwork yearly occurrence for Nintendo, the more interesting part will be finding out what it actually is.
We're all avid gamers here, we're all big fans of the products produced by said corporate companies, enough to come to a place dedicated to said products.
To pretend marketing can't be fun is just silly. E3 is a marketing event and look at how excited everyone would get when it rolled around. Hours and hours of youtube videos, TV shows, Twitch streams etc etc. It's a marketing event, but it's fun.
When people think about some of their favorite game trailers, part of it is the surprise of not knowing what it is. Trailers are purposefully shot this way because it's more exciting. Like if we knew every Smash character before the announcements, they wouldn't be as fun. Of course we'd still enjoy the game but the hype cycle itself is fun.
And yes, corporate companies provide entertainment
