It seems Fami has been driven insane, I deeply regret my at least 25% contribution to this via a 25% incorrect statementAnd then that led to this:
All hail the C-TeamAnd then that led to this:

With Silksong and Little Kitty news, it sounds like an Indie World is closer than ever,
Wait, you mean "Little Kitty, Big City"? News? WHERE?!
Pokemon LegendsThe real question to all the 2024 doomers here is, what will Nintendo release in 2025 before the switch 2 release in november 2025?
Didn’t think about that right?

What would H1 have then if they were H2? Still barrenThey simply don't need an event like gamescom. Also they are not forced to spill the beans because of an investors meeting.
If H2 had no games, then H1 would not have Paper Mario and Luigis Mansion.
2) they got no major games for the rest of this year
Oh it's possible to still have a solid H2 lineup ifSurely this is obvious? Given they allegedly planned to release Switch 2 at the end of this year, how are they going to have major games for Switch 1? We're obviously in for a quiet 6-9 months.
Prime 4, for a holiday release would make me so happy. Would be an extra bonus if we also got prime 2 and 3.Oh it's possible to still have a solid H2 lineup if
1. They were gonna have some smaller crossgen releases that can now simply launch on Switch first, or
2. The oft-repeated adage of Nintendo sitting on completed games is true and they have some stuff literally just waiting for a gap to fill
In the latter case the WW/TP HD games would qualify, and while diehards would be disappointed in no big new 2witch games the Zeldas would at least sell. Plus there may be new games we haven't even heard of yet.
And in the former case a good (possible) example would be Prime 4, which.. I mean, if Prime 4 finally releases this holiday I doubt many of us will be disappointed in Nintendo's H2 even without new hardware.
I said it earlier in this thread, but I doubt Switch 1 software releases were going to just completely stop when the Switch 2 released. Especially if the Switch 2 is backwards compatible.Surely this is obvious? Given they allegedly planned to release Switch 2 at the end of this year, how are they going to have major games for Switch 1? We're obviously in for a quiet 6-9 months.
Wouldn't be surprised if Paper Mario was originally meant to be a gross gen game, same for luigi mansion 2, but were pushed out earlier.I said it earlier in this thread, but I doubt Switch 1 software releases were going to just completely stop when the Switch 2 released. Especially if the Switch 2 is backwards compatible.
I genuinely want to look into the benefits of the quick reveal to release strategy that's provided by Nintendo's recent tactics. Stuff like Xenoblade 3, Mario Wonder and the recent stint of shadowdrops... That isn't really normal gaming company behaviour, but it's clearly working to a degree.2.

Things change, especially when you have the immediacy of social medial. This is probably the new normal and long announcements will be outliersThat isn't really normal gaming company behaviour,
September, at best."June for sure"
June arrives
"Well folks, pack it up. Must be September"
I hate this
Imagine if Nintendo doesn't even talk about Metroid Prime 4 in the entirety of 2024, that would be hilarious.Surely this is obvious?

Honestly, it would be such a curveball if they do another Animal Crossing Party game opposed to a Mario Party one... One that would actually make a lot of sense for this year if they did want to hold a new Mario Party for the next console...Direct opens with brand new DLC for Wonder: Super Mario Bros. Wonder Maker.

games in general take longer to make so it's probably for the best if they are revealed closer to release imoI genuinely want to look into the benefits of the quick reveal to release strategy that's provided by Nintendo's recent tactics. Stuff like Xenoblade 3, Mario Wonder and the recent stint of shadowdrops... That isn't really normal gaming company behaviour, but it's clearly working to a degree.
I think it must've been something around 2020 that clicked into Nintendo's minds that this was a good idea around the Mario 35th Anniversary celebrations. It probably was as a result of the long reveals to release of BotW, MP4, Bayonetta 3, Pikmin 4 (technically), and TotK. I think, to Nintendo, sitting on games is more productive than having the game in public knowledge but taking a decade and a half to release.
Don’t disrespect the goat who made the guy gameImagine if Nintendo doesn't even talk about Metroid Prime 4 in the entirety of 2024, that would be hilarious.
At this point it's the new Duke Nukem Forever, except at the very least, at the flippin' very least, Duke showed its stupid face from time to time, between its engine changes and even the year before its release.
What is the problem with Prime 4 ? Why can't they just -communicate- on the game ? Did Jeff Spangenberg went back to Retro Studios and had some dossier on Shigheru Miyamoto ? Did Fukushima sent some ninjas to the wrong place and now everyone is dead and they replaced the employees with lifeless clones ?
There’s positive and negative of revealing thing early or near release, like the pre order and the hype surrounding can make a company shit load of money, but the negative is that the expectation becomes so high that it can either ruin the name of a brand or let consumer distrust of their next game, like cyberpunk was technically revealed in 2012.I genuinely want to look into the benefits of the quick reveal to release strategy that's provided by Nintendo's recent tactics.

If they had no games for the second half of the year, they wouldn’t be releasing Paper Mario and Luigi’s Mansion so close together in the first halfSurely this is obvious? Given they allegedly planned to release Switch 2 at the end of this year, how are they going to have major games for Switch 1? We're obviously in for a quiet 6-9 months.
the only way to anounce Nintendo next console, without severaly/negatively impacting Switch sales.Ykw fuck pessimism, Switch 2 statement this week. They're gonna say it's happening next year ahead of the gathering and their pretty busy May. No console, no games, not even a final name, just, "New console will launch next March" and that's it.
When Paper Mario was revealed back in September, I could really see Switch 2 coming in May and that coming in July.Wouldn't be surprised if Paper Mario was originally meant to be a gross gen game, same for luigi mansion 2, but were pushed out earlier.
Like, because of the handheld and console division merging, Nintendo thankfully don't need to worry about a drought, like the Wii U.
Plus having prime 4 be the final big switch game, is so fitting and hopefully it succeed and we'll see more Metroid games.
I think it was a gradual change that ultimately only led to amazing results. Odyssey had 1/4 of the reveal to release cycle of BotW and sold almost the same(selling way faster tho), then Smash Ultimate came out with a 9 months reveal to release cycle and did amazingly good, Pokémon was always 6-9 months and always sold well, etc.I genuinely want to look into the benefits of the quick reveal to release strategy that's provided by Nintendo's recent tactics.

I mean, they've gone to the very extreme of communication when they announced they were rebooting the development back in 2019.Imagine if Nintendo doesn't even talk about Metroid Prime 4 in the entirety of 2024, that would be hilarious.
