Be mad at Nintendo for sitting on a bunch of games, scheduling BOTW2 for Spring, and deciding to show us jack shit

Or don't be mad at all? Nintendo has a killer lineup this year, there's no reason to get mad at them or anyone. Let's not make Zelda fandom more toxic than it already is.

There could be some really good games shown at the end of the week. Who cares if those aren't made by Nintendo? After all, the consensus two best games of the switch aren't made by Nintendo.
Yes, I'm of course talking about hollow knight and rain world.

I looked up on YouTube and people are using that fucking sad Mario image, or just sad Mario in general. I am pissed.

its the worst. Like Youtube in general. A cesspool of hyperbole and over the top reactionary clickbait shit combined to an ultratoxic cocktail.

aka the internet

Nate, maybe you can do the usual teases, but just say you don’t know what kind of direct it is. Just say “a direct is coming”, then when we get 3-5 days from the direct date then you can hint what kind it is. By that point you’ll probably know the kind it is.

So people will only report you said a direct is coming.

I think It's safer to tease games rather than Directs.

I mean, Metroid Prime HD Is a Premiere scoop by nate, so Is the new Fire Emblem which Is likely in the FY. But Directs are obviously a wild Beast, so I wonder if It's something that It's worth to tackle for an insider.

Anyway Nate Is a kind person, his credibilty Is beyond any kind of toxicity. i Hope it Will Stick here, even Just to talk about games

Nate, please know that I and a boat load of others really appreciate what you do. This isn't meant as a damage control like, "Oh no, he may leave us!" kind of remark, I genuinely mean this, thank you for what you do.

Literally the only people who know what is going to happen are people close to nintendo. You guys really warship Nate like a god and it’s kinda weird and freighting.

examples please. thanks. being empathic about the shit thats going on outside of famiboards isn't loyality. its human decency.

The people who are legitimately angry and attacking each other and insiders over Nintendo's weird marketing strategy need to get a life. Touch some grass, get a new hobby, protest for a good cause, play some games, whatever. Do something productive instead of being nerdy assholes on the internet. A corporation's product or marketing event shouldn't devolve you into hostility or aggressiveness. It's just video games at the end of the day. I will say though that anyone getting snarky and mean-spirited over people expressing disinterest and disappointment are not that much better and there's some blatant, underlying hypocrisy that's not being acknowledged. I really am done with the general attitude that gamers, or in this case the Nintendo community, display on a daily basis.

You might want to take a step back from this conversation, you are missing the point.

What point? It’s kinda true tho. Yes I believe some people do get real info from Nintendo but in this instance I think he’s wrong for coming out and disagreeing with another credible person.
 
Anyways... If M+R2 really does get a Direct next Wednesday after the Partner Showcase, then it's 100% the August game. It would be really weird to have a marketing cycle that small but they wouldn't hold a Direct if the game was September or later.

Imo he’s phrasing it like he did.

Even then, it is possible to choose not believe it / take it with a grain of salt without insulting other members, seriously. I think most of us know the dynamics of inside information, it is not the first time things turned out differently than the rumors said lol.

I disagree, but most of all I think this is not the focus. These are leaks, It's something fun Just to make the discussion exciting but It has to be taken with huge grain of salt. I'm grateful that Nate and Emily pass by and give Us something to discuss.
 
yo we’re missing the forest through the trees here and that’s that Persona might finally be coming to the Switch this week
 
its funny how someone ALWAYS comes out of the wood work. every single time. don't see some guys post in here at all. Just at specific moments
