Tim with the new 2023 mix is better but the original's production keeps Tim just behind Let It Be. Though I prefer the original mix for Swinging Party and Here Comes a RegularI see you're a frog of good taste.
And let the record show that Tim is even better.
Like?
Oh, I think I have yet to hear that mix. I'll look into it.
I'm so sick of the "Because Nintendo" rhetoric
The Wii U name.
I wouldn't call the Switch era as having consistently good marketing. The shadowdrop reveal for major game and periods of total radio silence haven't been great.
That was over a dozen years ago now.
I would argue that the name was actually pretty logical. Like, trying to ride off of the success of the Wii brand for what basically was supposed to be "Wii but now with Core Gamer(TM) appeal". At least their explanation for it was sound to me. It was admittedly a pretty terrible name but not illogical.
They can. If Nintendo did literally zero marketing for TOTK the game still sells 15m+ just based on pedigree alone. That's the reason why Pokemon games always sell well independent of their quality.
It will survive when continue to do dumb
......Nintendo did a shit ton of TOTK marketing. Where does this "no marketing" thing come from? They just weren't constantly shoving it in people's faces months before release so people got unreasonably nervous about it
They can blow up like that but that's far more of an exception than the rule, and only happens in very specific circumstances and usually requires the internet to latch onto it for meme reasons or streamers grabbing it or something. It's very unreliable.
It was shown at SGF last year. Spots at Keighley shows aren't cheap, unless maybe you're a mega-name like Naughty Dog or Square Enix
I still think they delisted 3D All Stars not only to incentivize short-term sales because of FOMO, but also to minimize competition with other mainline Mario games on the system, namely 3D World + Bowser's Fury
I don't think BW remakes and WW/TP ports are happening this year, but this makes sense otherwise. I hope games like GX HD aren't sent out to die and are actually promoted properly in Directs
Ah yes, the Sega Saturn approach.
Who the fuck is that?
This is true - but mostly I just want the console to be announced and official enough that we can start getting game announcements for it. Even if it's just "this will be on the Nintendo NX"-style stuff like we saw a few times pre-Switch, it'd be nice to at least get to that point.
This will never not be funny.
Honestly, I think Nintendo being able to get Metroid Prime Remastered and Super Mario 3D All Stars less than a month after announcement physically does mean anything can happen... we could have a late July or early August game on our hands for instance
For a game with 0 marketing I sure saw a ton of ads before Youtube videos about it.
Oh don't get me wrong, me too (mostly so I know how much money I'll need to save). Yeah nothing against wanting an announcement, just tired of folks here forgetting they're not the average consumer and saying with absolute certainty Ninty would or wouldn't do something.
Unrelated to any point you're trying to convey, and not to pick on you because you're not the only person I see doing it, but when did "radio silence" replace simply "silence" as the preferred term for periods of no communication? I never quite got it and it seems ubiquitous.
She's a big fan of Ready or Not and the new Scream movies.
"What the fuck is a raincheck?"
Yeah, it's not just Nintendo. Regardless of when they were announced, the real marketing blitz starts 2-to-3 months out from launch: PS5 had its first TV ad in August 2020, Xbox Series in October 2020, PS4 in October 2013, Xbox One in September 2013, and Wii U in October 2012.
I've understood it to mean "silence from a large organisation on a particular subject".
Come on, not even a faint ringing?All we hear is *clapclap*
Radio Silence *clapclap*
The term goes back to the early 1900s. I don't think it really replaced the use of just "silence" in that manner, so much as it better emphasizes the idea that you were expecting communication of some kind, rather than there simply being no communication.
almost had a heart attack thinking you would say wiiu instead hahah
"Ok… what kind of Nintendo fan are you?"
I am out of the Direct Speculation loop for quite a while. All I expect is Switch 2 in March with 3D Mario.
Thing you don't like =/= bad or illogical marketing
I will never forget that I bought the Fire Emblem 30th Anniversary Special Edition and then just forgot to redeem the code/buy the actual game on the e-Shop before they took it down
