Join us on Sept 12 at 6am PT for a Nintendo Direct! Tune in for roughly 60 minutes of information on upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch games.
I don’t understand why people have issues with shows like this, it’s not like ads on annoying news websites, people want to watch them, I’m not watching but I think it’s quite exciting waiting for a trailer you want to see (silksong for example) compared to seeing it in a news article afterwards.
Seems too soon to be announcing a 3D Mario or Zelda for holiday release, but I could see them announcing something for spring release in hopes of boosting holiday sales.
Tbh I think TOTK and BOTW have enough legs, especially with the Switch 2 releases, and I suspect the next Zelda will take some time because it’ll be a much different installment than the last two. But goddamn if I’m not ready for a new 3D Mario.
Wasn’t a lot of the usual names from the 3d mario studio’s last game (dk) missing from the credits? I heard someone say it’s probably because they were working on a 3d mario in parallel… hopefully
Same! Xeno 2 needs some love given how it suffered a bit from lack of resources and time to tune it when it released. And X needs that performance patch.
Dude stop. There’s no ethical consumption in post-/late stage capitalism. Nintendo is no worse than Microsoft, Sony, Steam, I could go on and on. Let people play their fucking video games—it’s one of the only nice things about living in this modern day. Fucking sheesh.
Nintendo is suing Palworld over patents they filed AFTER Palworld released, and said patents are so broad that many other games also technically violate said bullshit patents. Nintendo is the one in the wrong.
You are calling me the “dumbass”, here? 😅 Both logic and philosophy say this perspective is wrong, and also, funnily enough, if this were true (as in, it’s not possible to proof a negative assertion in a burden-of-proof scenario) then that very claim could not be proven either? Because “You cannot prove a negative” is, in itself, a negative assertion.
Luckily for us this is of course wrong, and you can prove a negative. Especially in matters of fact, since you could find a list of current filings of Microsoft and hence show that no, of all their ongoing lawsuits, there are none that are targetting developers (which is not the case, it was easy enough to find two cases without digging any deeper).
And I mean, this doesn’t do shit to exhonorate Nintendo here, but let’s not pretend Microsoft and Sony aren’t constantly running hundreds of legal cases and multiple will be targetting developers of all sizes. They’re just avoiding big press about most of them.
Hey man if you enjoy being ripped off and shilling for a trash company that sues everyone and their mom for making a cookie in the shape of mario, then maybe you ought to log off as well. Maybe get some perspective and evalute some life choices.

Fuck Nintendo
even if you’re a nintendo fan, you don’t have to tune in to 1 hour of advertisements, you know
i promise, once it’s over you’ll find out about all announcements you care about in other ways
Putting it on while doing something is fine
You don’t need to tell people what to watch
Watching new trailers is fun.
Yeah but while it ain’t for me at all (I prefer written news), I know a lot of people do enjoy this format.
I don’t understand why people have issues with shows like this, it’s not like ads on annoying news websites, people want to watch them, I’m not watching but I think it’s quite exciting waiting for a trailer you want to see (silksong for example) compared to seeing it in a news article afterwards.
Screw that—that 30 minute premiere for Kirby Air Riders was pure bliss. If it’s a game I love, I want all the detes I can get.
This is the same fanbase that dropped $500 for a slightly better Nintendo Switch, there’s no reasoning with them.
This is a company that will sue you if you even watch this press release incorrectly, but they’re still coming at the bit
Did Nintendo directs used to be better? Was it iwatas touch? Am I just nostalgic?
nintendo directs were always advertisements, it’s kinda their goal: to advertise to you upcoming nintendo products
I guess Iwata and Reggie made them more pleasant to watch, but they were still ads
Silksong news, probably??
Oh wait, autopilot.
I’m hoping for new Zelda or Mario news. Very excited.
Seems too soon to be announcing a 3D Mario or Zelda for holiday release, but I could see them announcing something for spring release in hopes of boosting holiday sales.
Tbh I think TOTK and BOTW have enough legs, especially with the Switch 2 releases, and I suspect the next Zelda will take some time because it’ll be a much different installment than the last two. But goddamn if I’m not ready for a new 3D Mario.

I’m ready for any news regarding anything Mario or Zelda, no matter the release date. 😊
Others: Hopefully a new Mario or Zelda game, that‘d be so hype!
Me: Hopefully Switch 2 updates for all Xenoblades, that‘d be so hype!
(And Fire Emblem please lol)
Same! Xeno 2 needs some love given how it suffered a bit from lack of resources and time to tune it when it released. And X needs that performance patch.
All of them could do with native res and 60 fps, I hope that‘s not something that needs serious engineering power…
I just want more farming sims.
Fuck Nintendo.
Very edgy
No, actually, fuck Nintendo. Or keep licking their boots, you do you.
Dude stop. There’s no ethical consumption in post-/late stage capitalism. Nintendo is no worse than Microsoft, Sony, Steam, I could go on and on. Let people play their fucking video games—it’s one of the only nice things about living in this modern day. Fucking sheesh.
But that statement is incorrect. Nintendo does too much to harm game preservation, much more than any other company.
Microsoft and Sony aren’t currently trying to sue other developers into the ground. Nintendo is.
Fuck Nintendo and quit licking their boots

Eat my entire ass, bootlicker.
[citation needed], because given their size this feels more than just unlikely.
Are you literally asking me to provide proof that somwthing isn’t happening?
You can’t prove a negative, dumbass. The onus of proof is on you
*blinks*
