Well if the announcements weren't for you, fair enough. Honestly I haven't found any Nintendo presentation memorable (Direct, announcement, E3, etc) since 2019's E3

Yeah I am not pressed at all. Based on Bloomberg's reports, the device is real so that's enough for me at this point.
My favorite part of today honestly. When it reached fever pitch
Actually I take that back
My favorite part of today was when they misspelled #GameBuilderGarage and deleted it
and then tweeted it again like six hours later
It's soooo good though. For me it ticks all the boxes of what a Zelda dungeon should be. You've got that starting room that acclimates you to the water current mechanic before you're unceremoniously dumped in the main room and left to figure stuff out for yourself. Any changes made to the main room have tiny ramifications that affect every single room in the dungeon and you've got to slowly piece everything together in your head before you can make real progress. You're encouraged to appreciate the dungeon as one giant inner-locking mechanism instead of blindly taking rooms one at a time. And when you're finally comfortable with the dungeon layout, BOOM: Ice Arrows. Now you can make floating ice platforms wherever you want and all the rooms you've already "cleared" are suddenly recontextualized.
The theming too. It encapsulates that feeling of something being "off" that I love so much about the classic zeldas. You're lost in this giant alien-esque facility that's been running for thousands of years for all we know, untouched by humanity and infested with bizarre creatures. Remember those weird veiny hands underwater that tried to strangle you if you got too close?
That soundtrack really drove the atmosphere home:
This is a good attitude to have. Remember as well that the September/October timeline given in the Bloomberg article is still very likely.
Don't forget the fact that the second Tweet had another typo lol
While short Ikana Castle was my favourite part of that game. Always wondered what could be done more to that dungeon if they ever did some sort of remake for majoras mask.
*calls number*
sexy saxophone music plays on the phone
"Hi baby... this is Reggie Fils-Aime..."
" H-hi Reggie"
"So, what kinda mayo are you covered in right now"
" K-Kraft... wait, no, Heinz... I mean, Miracle Whip!"
*hangs up on Reggie, sweating profusely*
I feel like its been this way for years. Nintendo for some reason has decided they only want to anounce games within a few months of release and stuff keeps getting delayed
Did the "neat" thing ever end up happening? I know it was supposed to be something small but I'm curious.
Also assuming that the Super Switch gets announced later this summer, that seems like it might open a window for a pokemon direct. Would be cool to see some new Arceus footage.

No, just less confidence that it will be announced by the end of last week, could see an announcement in the weeks following E3.
the Switch Pro is Nintendo rereleasing the New 3DS XL with Mario Kart 7 Deluxe preinstalled.
It's been a bit of a thing during the Switch era but it's never been this bad. Going into E3 2019 we had Animal Crossing, Fire Emblem, Super Mario Maker 2, Pokemon Sword and Shield, Link's Awakening and Astral Chain dated for the year. Going into E3 2021 we'll have literally nothing new dated for the rest of 2021 except for Mario Golf
The people who are in the thread right now are the regulars, who are generally not the people who seem eager to shit on insiders the precise second things don't happen the way they "promised."
Frankly, it doesn't matter that much to me if they announce the thing a week before E3 or a couple weeks after. Either way, it's probably shipping September at the earliest, like the Switch Lite did – I don't think they'd release it in, like, August. And we know it's coming. So I can wait.
COVID really has hit Nintendo hard, possibly the hardest out of the major console leaders
Honestly, I'm happy that pre-orders are more likely to go up at a time when I actually have the money to spend on it.
Cool. Thanks for the reply. Obviously gaming news has been wild lately and I thought I may have missed it
I'm seriously happy he's with NintendoLife. That's one of those places I loftily dream of working at someday and he deserves the heck out of it.
