There's your BotW2
Here I was actually thinking it might shadow-drop on all consoles after the show.Oh yeah, that didn't show either. Wtf
Just a sizzle reel with some 2022 games - nothing new except a slight re-confirmation of BotW2 in 2022 (but ofc that can still be delayed).Shit I just went to the bathroom. I missed a 2022 switch trailer?
Oh damn, he did? I missed that. Oh well. Bring on the February directWell Geoff just confirmed what’s left. Nintendo decided not to show up.
Oh, Zelda appeared!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think that Bokoblins on the rock enemy is new footage. Not that 0,5 secs of new footage on a sizzle reel make up for TGA reveal. But oh well...
Hah, probably not. Last year they ended on a Fast and Furious gameUh, they're saving a big reveal for the end right?
This then Matrix is probably itUh, they're saving a big reveal for the end right?
I think it's less Geoff and more Nintendo. They've been de-emphasising the "friendliness" of marketing in recent years for whatever reason, and that includes their inclination to give big reveals to non-Nintendo stuff like this. Even E3 shows, which used to be full of skits and cool speeches, are now just jumbo-length regular Directs with the exact same formatting.Yeah, seems like Nintendo is treating the VGA just like some regular TV shows where they drops 15 second ads...damn Geoff what happened ? lol
I wasn't watching, do tell. I want to be able to see what was probably the only highlight of the evening.The guy with the chainsaw is hot
Oh sorry, yeah the games look alright
Only if they drop a prime 4 trailer afterMetroid winning GotY would make up for it!
Nah, I would be happy without. Dread deserves it.Only if they drop a prime 4 trailer after
Of course they don't, ever since that E3 where Nintendo dropped live presentations (and possibly even earlier with the advent of Directs) they have strived to control their own narrative. I remember reading gaming media in the late 90s through the 00s and the major thing that stood out was how much Nintendo was delegated to being the "kiddie" one between Sony, Sega, and eventually Microsoft. Now with social media they don't have to let the general gaming community dictate their image in events like TGAs, instead Nintendo can craft how they are presented to the public through their own events.Honestly it would be nice to have Nintendo show up at more than just the Nintendo-sanctioned Nintendo Events for Nintendo Games Only.
I don't know, it's just starting to feel like they don't really want to 'mingle' with the rest of the industry the way they used to. Doug Bowser (i.e. the only exec who accepted an award on behalf of the devs) weird advertising speech for Dread's (deserved) win didn't help either.
Wonder Woman, Sonic, Space Marines were the highlights for meThis show could have been a tweet. Sonic is like the only new thing I can remember and we basically knew all about it already. At least the orchestra should be good.
