Unannounced Nintendo Direct |OTter control|

You know Sony hype has gotten out of hand when people create threads like "Does everyone agree that <new PlayStation game> is TEH BEST EVAR?!"
;-)
It's a good point though- why does Nintendo seem to attract a more fanatical base than other major developers?
Is it the games themselves? Is it because Nintendo is less stereotypically "cool", so fans are generally more relaxed about expressing themselves? Is it a hive mentality thing where the actions of the few influence the many?
Genuinely want to read a research project on this now.

i loved the "is spiderman the best superhero game ever" thread made one hour after the game was released.
To be fair, us Nintendo fans have often done the same, such as for Zelda. It's only natural for us to share our enthusiasm for games we really enjoy. Some folk have a nasty habit of trying to imply one of the Big 3 has a far worse fanbase than the other
Nintendo hype threads usually get derailed by a excessive amount of hate and trolling.
But otherwise I agree.
Well speaking personally I've thought since 2017 that 2019 will be a GOAT year for Switch, so I still stand by what I said.
But who knows it's Nintendo, they always surprise. Even if I didn't think 2018 would be as big from a big AAA first party perspective, I definitely didn't expect them to open the year with a direct mini haha.
However, we're already seeing enough new games for 2019 to have a January direct such as FE, DxM and Yoshi. Likely Smash DLC too.
i think a big part of what sets nintendo hype and nintendo fans apart is the diversity. when it comes to sony, most of them like most of the games. like, if you like uncharted, you also probably liked horizon, god of war, and spiderman. nintendo's history and large catalog results in many different kind of nintendo fans and thus there are more things to talk about/argue/shitpost. i may be totally off base tho
Exactly
Except for the fact that Botw is actually the best game evah
I think this is fair. For instance, in terms of big Nintendo first party games, Metroid is my favorite franchise of all time and I couldn't give less of a fuck about Animal Crossing.
And while big Sony first party games are definitely not rehashes, they are more similar to each other than Nintendo's.
False hope? Whenever a direct disappoints you just
RESET THE CLOCK
and wait for the next one.
It's totally healthy.
I'd counter Sony's is just enough dumb fun that they can get the directors for the games they love to come in and join the hype. See God of War and Cory Balrog
So... what I miss in the last few days..?
Just finished 100%-ing Spider-Man. I have returned to this thread, where we at with leaks and such? Anyone got a run down?

That's true, the God of War preview thread was probably the best one on this site
I don't know how I forgot it, considering I made that thread lol.
Probably because I've been in Direct mode, and Nintendo fans are really the only ones who's get THIS hype for marketing video, not just games themselves.
Though I do wish we had more Nintendo devs on here
Out of curiosity, do you know your playtime after having done that?
My theory is that the majority of Nintendo fans are less self-conscious, as part of overcoming the hurdle of playing on a "kiddie" console. That liberates us to express our enthusiasm freely with less consideration for how others might see us, and ends up looking more "fanatical" in turn.
Hence the winky.
Though if someone were to start a "Is BotW the BEST GAME EVAR?!" thread, I'd be sorely tempted to step in and virtual-slap the poster myself. It's damn good, but not that good.
Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.
Don't you mean Nintendogs 3?
Cats were already added by the way.
I didn't think about that, it's a possibility but would they really shun Android owners again if they wanted to do have crossover appeal with the mobile app and MK on Switch?
If MK is indeed at apples conference i'm guessing it'd be a timed exclusive again so I don't think it'd have any links to Mario Kart 8 DX DLC (if there is)
It's just speculation but based on the quote that they could add more things to MK8DX, the updates we've gotten over the year to a year old game, their mobile strategy which is to bring mobile players to their consoles and Mario Kart Tour launching it does seem like we'll get DLC.
If we're getting DLC it'll definitely connect to the mobile game but I doubt it'd be something you'd have to continue doing, more likely like the amiibo costumes that once unlocked you'll have it on the console game forever and not something you'd have to spend a lot of time on the mobile game.
Personally it took me ~20 or 25 hours to have the platinum.
I think it's the opposite. Nintendo consoles in the past have offered less variety than consoles with a ridiculous amount of third party support, and so that attracts a type of gamer that is super keen on the types of games Nintendo themselves create.
Sony and Microsoft on the other hand have a little something for everyone. So they have a bigger market share but a less engaged fan base.
Newcomers wish for Smash :
There's a duo of characters that would be awesome, especially with the concept of « Echo » : Madeleine and Badeleine from Celeste.
Also : Dandara as an Assist Trophee (BTW, Dandara 1.05 patch available, sweet improvements).

Nope, but it took me from 9/7 (first trophy earned 9/7 @ 12:28AM) to the Plat trophy @ 9/9 2AM
Interesting, thanks.
Oh i don't disagree at all, I'm just refuting the statement that it'll be the best of the Switch's life. It still has a job to do in marketing the rest of 2018's lineup of games that we've seen a lot of already, and that's probably less exciting to people.
I think it will be the best one so far. I am sure one will eventually come along that will be better haha.
This perspective of yours, flawed though it may be, is a BEAST

My school will be closed after 3PM EST tomorrow and then closed all day on Thursday and Friday in light of the incoming hurricane.
This is good for two key reasons. First, it means that my safety and the safety of my friends is being taken care of. Second, and crucially, I will be home for the September 13th Nintendo Direct at 6PM EST.
(Safety is far more important, but shhh.)
