Seems like a technicality to me. /shrug, a 30 minute direct isn't so mini.
This does not sound like a good faith argument, but ok, lets engage in it:
If you find the posts so ridiclous, then just ignore them? I don't see the issue as long as people aren't personally attacking
Yeah, it's like when there are Wii U ports that I've played--I'm not gonna be disappointed even though I've already played them, because it makes sense that a large portion of the Switch audience has not. I, myself, haven't played any of these 2K titles, so I'm quite excited to give 'em a go come May
The new info they showed maybe that hasn't been released? New smash, pokemon, ultimate alliance, animal crossing and xenoblade content. New info for unreleased games such as Ninjala, bravely default 2, good job, kings bounty 2, etc.
The only reason they went so big on Animal Crossing was the uncertainty of other high profile titles making it this year. They just didn't have anything else to show.
Yea, this is the case, and less that they were scared of announcing metroid 5 and it taking away ac sales.
I don't think it's purposeful.
Did you watch the direct? For pokemon, we didn't know the gmax moves or how the dojo works. That's new news. for AC, we didn't know how bunny day would work or that there would be an earth day event. That's new news.
Then I would leave the thread since it's only going to be more the more people are locked in and waiting for more game announcments.
If it is gigantic, how would announcing metroid or paper mario hurt its sales?
No way, I like Nintendo too much to bail and sometimes the speculation is truly amusing. I guess I just need to build my tolerance of their bs a little more. I do appreciate you having this reasonable exchange about this though. It's refreshing after so many shouting matches 🤣😂
I don't get the logic of that either. How would saying "metroid 5, coming september or October" or whatever hurt it?
because it those games are announced for, lets say June, there will be people who hold off on Nintendo purchases until then, instead of impulse buying AC out of desperation and hype
I mean, yeah, I kinda do as well, but no first party platform holder can fill out every month of every year of their platform (even if it's only one) in today's technical context without relying on ports or having a few months of either smaller releases (like Nintendo does) or no releases at all. That's just not viable.
Yeah, it's funny, this being called a Mini (and possibly being reconfigured to be such last minute) actually means that the Patterns are all still intact!
You're great. Also, hope you weren't harassed too much by idiots on Twitter or here...
But supposedly stuff like 3d world, pikmin 3, tp/wwhhd, and then prime trilogy are being sat on. Now seems like a good time to have those when they have nothing else.
Any dirtsheet tidbits you feel like revealing?

The majority of this thread probably has a ps4 or pc. These arent new releases or ports witin 1 year.
Thanks all! I try and keep level-headed. I understand why people get frustrated or emotional, though - especially lately.
I think you're exactly right. 95% of stuff shown today is coming by the end of June. Also makes sense to me that most of Nintendo's content in the next few months is being delivered digitally in the form of eShop stuff, expansions and updates. Disruption to retail, manufacturing and shipping is very real and while Nintendo's digital business is growing, they're still big on physical sales.
I think an Arms sequel is likelier, given today's announcements. I think we'll know at E3.
Pokemon DLC and the eShop launch of Club House games. Like I've said above, Nintendo's Q2 is light on retail, heavy on digital stuff. Makes sense in the current environment and makes sense anyway, given Q2 would be a quiet quarter even if they'd got something like Pikmin 3 in that time. Based on Emily having implied Pikmin 3 was first half 2020, my assumption is that was pushed into the second half as insurance.
