If this amounts to "Nintendo isn't actively promoting Overwatch on US platforms" I'm not exactly sure what it's supposed to say about whom.
I just found the idea of praising a company for "maybe" allowing refunds on 1 game to be such a fucking crystal clear example of blind corporate loyalty that I was a little shocked. Like I get that people dislike blizzard because of Blizzard choosing money over supporting democracy or whatever and that they want to see anything tear them down, but heaping praise on Nintendo for "maybe" doing something they should do regardless of the circumstances is fucking embarrassing.
What i mean is, i have the promo in english and in another spot in japanese, meaning it's posting them in both regions.
Fake news? Nintendo is advertising and featuring Overwatch on my Switch (US only account).
It's also on the front page of Nintendo.com: https://www.nintendo.com/
I get everyone hates Blizzard now but no reason to spread this nonsense.
Edit: Nintendo also allowed a full game refund to me, no questions asked, for MK11. They will refund games but they will only do it very few times for your account.

What's good for Nintendo? They're literally not doing anything.
Exactly. They aren't doing any kind of publicizing for a major port of one of the most popular games of the generation.
This seems like a really big stretch. We want to see what we want to see because of the controversy surrounding Blizzard. Nintendo not saying anything doesn't lead me to believe that this is a targeted response or anything. I mean...They're still selling the game. Not really a big stance against Blizzard there.
It's on the front page of Nintendo.com and a featured game on Switch. How is that not publicizing?
You do remember this right?
I mean their rule sounds really familiar but I just cant place it.
I mean people constantly dote on Nintendo in here forgetting numerous racist fuck ups and lgbt mis steps.
Do they fix them eventually? Yeah but nobody seems to want to give Blizzard that chance. But the blind Nintendo fapping is embarrassing
Especially considering it's being actively promoted rn in news feeds and in the store, AND it's on their website.
User banned (1 day): inflammatory generalization
Most people on Era are fucking stupid and want to have drama surrounding everything. That's it.
Some extremely charitable reads here - this only seems like Nintendo might be doing some minimal moves to avoid being entangled in a PR disaster. It's not like they've made a statement in support of HK protesters or something. It's much more likely that Nintendo is just doing what it usually does as a fairly conservative (in terms of risk) Japanese company and avoiding/skirting an issue.
I wonder also would it be Nintendo not wanting to get involved in the drama or perhaps since Nintendo is partner with Tencent maybe china is mad that Blizzard gave Blitz his winnings back and reduced the ban and that is why Nintendo was told not to support Overwatch .
Or maybe it is the lunacy of the thready affecting me.

First slide, top of the page, huge ad. Lmao.
The discourse is causing people to see things in the clouds.

I have a sneaking suspicion that Nintendo cares not so much about the obvious political situation with Blizzard, and is leaning more on the side of preventative caution as the game just simply doesn't run well on Switch. It isn't necessarily a good look when a 3 year old game runs like ass on your console in every way imaginable: unacceptable model pop-in (red orbs used to signify players whose models have not loaded in yet), crappy Wi-Fi connectivity, and imprecise controls.
I was noticing this as first, but yesterday and today I finally started seeing at least a little blurb on it on my switch news. US. It does seem like they're barely pushing it though.
I mean I get why they may take that stance, but it's not like Nintendo doesn't suck on China's teet too. Just not as overtly I guess, so they gotta make it seem like they're completely separated to the standard audience.

See the post right under yours and you will understand why facts are irrelevant. It is a bit creepy.
Do you honestly think Nintendo could just decide to not sell the game if they didn't want to? They have to have some kind of agreement in place with Blizzard/Activision for selling the game in some capacity. Id be very surprised if they could just decide one day to remove it barring something beyond what we're talking about here.
Sure, there's probably a contract in place so they have to sell the game or pay Blizzard some sort fine to break said contract. That being said, again. There is absolutely no indication that any of this is Nintendo being a good guy or anything of the sort. The issues with Blizzard are severe and should be taken to task as they have been, but Nintendo not promoting the game is literally the least they could do. People are just wanting to see what they want to see from Nintendo, their silence means nothing.
What would you like to see them do, that we can all agree is perfectly viable as an option for them? I don't disagree with your premise, but I'm just wondering if you think there's a lot more they could easily do that they're simply choosing not to. You say not promoting it is the least they could do, which implies (to me at least) that you feel there's far more they could do if they wanted.
I don't think he's criticising Nintendo's actions or intention. I think he's more examining the topic of this thread and the reactions to whatever actions Nintendo's made here.
I only have an US account on my switch and Overwatch is on the upper right corner of the Featured section. Not sure what everyone else is looking at though.
Its far more acceptable then playing only with analog controlls.
Yes it is. Pc gamers do know that controlls are the most important thing when it comes to fps shooters. Mouse and keyboard is the way to go. Having a game running on 30 fps would still win most fights if you are good on pc. Analog stick not. So yes controlls >>>>>>> fps 30 vs 60. And thanks for your full input on this
This thread's gone off the rails a bit. As there's counter-evidence to suggest that Nintendo is promoting the game, we're going to go ahead and lock this thread.
