Nintendo Switch’s success is inextricably linked with that of Tom Brady’s

[Deleted member 278]

Nintendo fans, tomorrow is an important day. Much like the groundhog emerging from his burrow without seeing his shadow brings us an early spring, Tom Brady must win one for the sake of the Switch's lineup this year.

Don't believe me? Here's undeniable FACTS:
2017 - Nintendo Switch ad turns the game around and delivers the win for the Patriots. Nintendo gets the two highest rated games this generation, announces the long awaited Metroid Prime 4, showers us with games all year.
2018 - Patriots lose, worst year in Nintendo history. Ports, droughts, an E3 about a single game. Metroid Prime 4 cancelled and delayed for five years. No January Direct.

So, NintendoEra, it is imperative Tom Brady delivers us the win and ensures a healthy year of amazing games and a Direct this week.

Tomorrow, we are all Pats fans.

Unfortunately, the evidence backs your conclusion.

If the Switch only succeeds if the Pats win, then the Switch should die miserably

What are you doing bro?

I made this thread two years ago, but it immediately got locked. Fairly so, as it was ahead of its time. However, history has proven me right, so it's only fair I unlock it.

Brady won in 2019, and immediately Nintendo delivered the best Direct of the Switch era. The lineup for the year was bonkers, with Nintendo publishing many stellar hits all throughout 2019. Huge games released every month, some even had to double or triple up. They had a great E3 too, where they revealed BOTW2! Very fun year to be a Nintendo fan.

What happened in 2020? Brady didn't even make it to the Super Bowl, losing in the WILD CARD round. Switch was immediately doomed. Nintendo basically only released one major game all year, otherwise relying on ports and remakes and games for toddlers. Worse yet, we suffered the great Direct drought, not getting a single full Nintendo Direct in the entire year.

To recap:

• 2017: Brady wins Super Bowl - Switch off to a successful start, they release the two best reviewed games of this generation, great games all year, Metroid Prime 4 announced
• 2018: Brady loses Super Bowl - the lineup is reliant on Wii U ports, their E3 is focused on a single game, droughts, they miss fiscal year projections
• 2019: Brady wins Super Bowl - major release basically every month, some with 2-3, amazing E3, great Directs all year
• 2020: Brady doesn't even make it to Super Bowl - Animal Crossing comes out early in the year and literally nothing else, Directs are cancelled, hype is dead

So Era, let us all join hands and root for Tompa Bay to ensure the return of Nintendo Directs. The release of Switch Pro and BOTW2 are at stake.

2018 was a solid year. Smash Ultimate, Octopath, Kirby Star Allies. Not the most eventful but seemed solid enough to me.

Mina was the true insider all along.

If the Switch's success is inexorably tied to Tom Brady's success should I boycott the Switch?

 

[Gumshoe]

This is a good thread and all these early posters couldn't recognize it.

 

[AViewtifulMind]

I'll be rooting for the Kansas City Chiefs.

 

[Spine Crawler]

yet the switch doesnt even have madden.

 

[psynergyadept]

The code has been cracked!

 

[ZeoVGM]

Today, we are all Bucs fans.

 

[gunlovefiction]

Disgusting thread, you should be ashamed of yourself.

 

[Cantaim]

What even lmao this unlock and bump

 

[aspiegamer]

Mod abuse.

Don't make me go find all those example of random things that correlate, like... number of hamsters removed from rectums VS unemployment rate. Mind you, in that example, it would be rude to speak down to hamsters. They'd rather die (in rectums, even!) than be compared to Brady.

Necrobumping this oof

As a non-American who has 0 investment in american Football BUT who is addicted by accidental correlation graphs this is honestly amazing.

Looks like it on the surface, but one important factor to consider is that the entire thing could swing the other way because Tom Brady switched from the AFC into the NFC. Meaning that if Brady wins tonight, we'll be in for a bad Switch year. Therefore it's more reasonable to root against him now.

[404LinkNotFound]

If you think 2018 was the worst year in Ninty's history ,ill assume you only started gaming with a switch
