Out of context, this looks like an ordinary scene from doom patrol.

I turned it off before it got to these gifs and I'm glad I did.
I guess the content creators enjoyed their free trip to Tokyo to be embarrassed.
Hopefully we don't see this game in the Direct tomorrow

We need a Metroid Prime 2 Remaster shadow drop tomorrow to wash away the bad taste of this being Nintendo's June game.
Tin foil hat time, the true purpose of the event is to show them switch 2
Honestly... It doesn't look as terrible as I expected? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The ad is very cringe worthy, of course, and the main hook it's impractical outside of very specific venues like convention centers. But the game itself looks like an inoffensive mini-game collection, and at least some of those mini-game look like they could be fun with friends.
I'm not particularly interested in getting it, but I honestly expected something far worse given the reports that surfaced about it.
Also, I don't think they showing this video outside of the Direct is a "vote of no-confidence" (so to speak) on Nintendo's part. After all, their most experimental games and products during the Switch era (like Labo and Ring Fit Adventure) weren't initially showcased in Directs but rather in their own dedicated videos like this one. Their marketing teams must have concluded that most of the audience that tunes in for a Direct tend to not be interested in this kind of experimental games.
That being said, I definitely think Nintendo has little confidence on this game, but that's mostly reflected on its price point and that they didn't show this video when they initially announced the game.

Nintendo is really trying to find an angle to sell this game. A Ring Fit sized success, this will not be. For the sake of the million+ people who end up buying this game, I hope Nintendo managed to improve it immensely after that article about it testing extremely poorly came out.
People don't understand that a game is not for them, this thread feels like something straight from the Wii era
Looks like at least parts of Nintendoland live on with the throwing stars. At least it's evidence parts of Nintendoland could be ported….I guess.
Honestly looks like it'd be fun with a bunch of kids. My kid saw me watching the video, started laughing and asked if we could play it.
I told him no.

Oh absolutely. I think any fear Nintendo had over this was overblown, people will laugh at it for a couple days and go back to putting another hundred hours into TOTK. It's just super unusual for Nintendo to be outright embarrassed by how badly a game did in focus tests.
It would still be a hit at family events and older folks could sit out on the more intense stuff. And tbh bowling would take too long if the group is too big. Up to 100 is the real selling point here
Those 100 players parties seems incredibly harder to do, now.
No, they just wanted to take their time. They didn't want to milk the franchise.
Shame they are not adding more characters to Smash. I would MANE him.
This game definitely feels like a company outing drunk night fun party time, especially for mid-sized companies.
how can you not push this lovely lad
It's pretty funny how that whole horse mask thing is like 8 years behind the curve too.
