I am in the same boat. The drip-feed approach doesn't work for me. I think I would be able to postpone my purchase if I had something else to play in June, but right now I feel I am going to be tempted into buying it Day One out of sheer lack of options.With the release of this game drawing closer, I know I won't be able to resist getting this, but for now it is a "wait for sale" kind of game for me. It's mainly due to the roster size, which is a bit on the lower end of the spectrum for my liking. Releasing new characters later down the line is a trend I don't really enjoy, but I guess I will have to wait and see how things pan out.
Does it really work on anyone ? The game will come out and mostly get 6 or 7 because of a lack of content like every single Nintendo sport release.I am in the same boat. The drip-feed approach doesn't work for me.
Mario Tennis is now the best selling Mario Sports title (3.66m dec 2020, right now is probably already 4m or close) and Mario Golf has almost doubled (and it will end up doing by the end of it's life) the sales of the prior best selling Mario Golf entry. So it has worked sales wise due to giving them great legs so people buy the games during a longer period of time, and don't sell it because they are waiting for DLCs to release.Does it really work on anyone ?

The thing is, post-release support in terms of additional content, be it free or paid, is actually great for this type of game. Case in point, SSBU.Does it really work on anyone ? The game will come out and mostly get 6 or 7 because of a lack of content like every single Nintendo sport release.
I am not sure. But I assume that for some people it may work in the sense that once it is made available new content brings them back to the game.Does it really work on anyone ? The game will come out and mostly get 6 or 7 because of a lack of content like every single Nintendo sport release.
I understand that logic, but given the Switch boosts the sales of pretty much every franchise, I think it is a classic case of correlation does not mean causation. They don't sell more because of the drip-feed content; they sell more because the Switch is a monster. I obviously don't have the data to back that statement up, but it's my feeling. I am not sure how Nintendo looks at it, but considering they seem to love delivering content little by little, I guess they probably think the drip-feed approach helps sales. Heck, maybe they have the data to back that up, but I somehow doubt it.Mario Tennis is now the best selling Mario Sports title (3.66m dec 2020, right now is probably already 4m or close) and Mario Golf has almost doubled (and it will end up doing by the end of it's life) the sales of the prior best selling Mario Golf entry.

pd: I'm talking about sales because in the end that's the reason why Nintendo does it.
Same here with German commentator Frank Buschmann
Buschmann is great, "live" commentary greatly enhances the experience for sports games, and it's a shame they only did this for promotional purposes.
Yeah, it is never the same, but it adds some nice flavour. And if you ever get sick of it, which you inevitably will with only so many variations, you can just disable the commentary, so everybody wins.In-game commentary pieced together out of individual pre-recorded phrases wouldn't be as great as this tailored commentary of an entire game but still ... if I could hear about Bowser getting "grilled" everytime I check him into the wall, that'd go a long way to compensate for the lack of crotch chopping, sizzling hot finger-burning asses and general 'tude.

The Italian one: Trevisani comment
Famigoals.What’s going to be the name of the famiboards club, I’m in
Well their promotion for this game has involved localising the overview trailer into several languages which is unusual for Nintendo.Starting to get concerned about the lack of promotion for Strikers - wonder if this indicates lower expectations from Nintendo. We are 20 days away from the release and we only got an overview trailer, with Twitter and commercials being almost non-existant.
Here in Spain we have got promo of the game with ads on social media and retailers promo for 2 weeks ish .Starting to get concerned about the lack of promotion for Strikers - wonder if this indicates lower expectations from Nintendo.

I noticed this too. There's nothing, while FE3H, live-a-live and Splatoon 3 are all being promoted quite a bit. At least something small like character goal animations or a preview of the main theme would be nice to get.Starting to get concerned about the lack of promotion for Strikers - wonder if this indicates lower expectations from Nintendo.

Ya'll trippin'. They released an extensive overview trailer in Japanese, English, French, and Portuguese and then got famous announcers in Italian, French, and German to commentate for an entire match. The promotion for Strikers is more than Aces/Golf combined and the broader localization probably exceeds every Nintendo game.
They could do more, but by Nintendo standards Strikers has had a strong push.
Post-launch content for Mario Golf: Super Rush wasn't announced until 10 days before release.I think in terms of post launch content. So far every sports game has had it and they hint at it.
I disagree a bit, one single match commented in small random channels is a lot less than a commercial with one of the biggest tennis stars, despite the number of views for each:
All the hyper strikes:
Wario's butt is ready.
I think people now think the culprit was Super Paper Mario.If rumors of Charged being THE game that made Nintendo change their policies with brand control; I guess NLG being an internal studio now helps.
A new Strikers was going to happen at one point even if toned down a lot , it was before the Switch the best selling Mario Sports spin-off and football is the most popular sport in the world. What’s a miracle is the ‘freedom’ it seems NLG has had compared to other Mario Sports titles ( it could just be that Camelot prefers a more basic though)It's really a miracle a new Strikers game even is a thing these days, to be frank. If rumors of Charged being THE game that made Nintendo change their policies with brand control; I guess NLG being an internal studio now helps.
Dunno if it was a sure thing... They'd probably return to soccer/football eventually, but didn't need to be necessarily through the Strikers branding and themes. In fact, since then Mario and friends already played the sport in other games (M&S and Mario Sports Superstars); I guess it was much more on some higher-ups being convinced to give the series another shot.A new Strikers was going to happen at one point even if toned down a lot , it was before the Switch the best selling Mario Sports spin-off and football is the most popular sport in the world.

Super Paper Mario sure had some weird stuff going on too, but you'd think IntSys would be much closer to Nintendo when working on the Mario IP... but I guess Paper Mario was the one that suffered the most when they tighten their grip on brand control.I think people now think the culprit was Super Paper Mario.
Yes it would've started development before being acquired by Nintendo.Didn’t this game start development years ago? Before they were owned by Nintendo?
The culprit was multiple things that kinda converged at once within a fairly short time frame.I think people now think the culprit was Super Paper Mario.
