I’ve already clarified that I understand his posts weren’t really “complaining” and that his comments about the price just stood out to me and mixed together with the other actual complaining and negativity from others in the thread, and I already said that was my bad. I know I shouldn’t have been so quick to post something like that and should have done a better job at actually rereading the posts I was referring to and making sure I’m not misinterpreting or conflating them with others, but at the same time it’d be nice if people who are responding to me about it would actually do the same for my posts, too, because as I clarified, I already understand that his posts weren’t exactly being negative—it was questioning the game’s value prematurely that I find odd, though, be it positive or negative. Regardless, it’s whatever now, and this isn’t some argument I’m wanting to keep up or anything.think of it this way: at 20 he'd already be sold. at 30 he needs more info
I think that's both totally fair and hardly negative at all
Fine, I'll take the L. My bad, sorryNah, I'm not gonna agree. Nintendo is just a company going about their business how they see fit, and it seems pretty normal and fine to me? Meanwhile in this thread you've made multiple posts on Nintendo saying it looks bad on them and blaming them for the general vibe of discourse. There are multiple posts that are getting into weirdo conspiracy theories about it all too. I don't really see anything Nintendo is doing to foster that kind of thinking. I mostly just see a kinda warped board/fandom culture doing its thing.
In Canada it's $99/year for a family plan; the $112 is the grand total after taxesI'm interested in seeing whatever this is! I agree with the expectations of a Direct shadowdrop or perhaps a scheduled release in June/July unless this ESRB rating came out very early and this is actually a fall schedule stuffer. Then again, if Pyoro already knows the pricing, maybe this must be coming soon (depending on Pyoro's sources).
This is a total tangent, but I'm wondering about the NSO costs you mention. Where is NSO Expansion Pack $112/yr ($14/person*8 people) for a Family Membership or $72 as an individual? I tried checking prices in a few countries and didn't find that rate.
Ah, totally forgot about taxes. Thanks!Fine, I'll take the L. My bad, sorry

I think it will be similar to how Game Builder Garage was announced. GBG was announced hours before the May investor meeting as was highlighted in said meeting too, so I expect an announcement hours before tomorrow's investor meeting.Are we expecting the NWC game to be announced today or do we think that'll be an announcement at a much later time?
Oh!! Okay!! So like maybe later today or earlier tomorrow?I think it will be similar to how Game Builder Garage was announced. GBG was announced hours before the May investor meeting as was highlighted in said meeting too, so I expect an announcement hours before tomorrow's investor meeting.
"As you can see, we still have an incredible ability to repackage our first home console, the Famicom, or NES in international markets. We are confident this and other products will help us ship 15 million mystery consoles and make billions in operating profit.I think it will be similar to how Game Builder Garage was announced.

I mean an esrb leak means the announcement is coming in under a week on the Nintendo side."As you can see, we still have an incredible ability to repackage our first home console, the Famicom, or NES in international markets. We are confident this and other products will help us ship 15 million mystery consoles and make billions in operating profit.
Please understand."
(But yeah announcement imminent, I feel)
What was misleading? Pyoro posted a Nintendo World Championship cart for NES and the ESRB just rated NWC for NES.Quite frankly irresponsible from Pyoro to mislead people about the nature of the announcement. Insiders should aim to be the role models of gaming, not this.
pretty sure it is a jokeWhat was misleading? Pyoro posted a Nintendo World Championship cart for NES and the ESRB just rated NWC for NES.
If I was a Pyoro, this level of entitlement might make me just want to shut up altogether. Dude was just having a little fun, and the news came out within a day of his post so it's not like he even allowed overreacters to be strung along for long.This reveal might be the biggest insult by an insider in the past decade. I literally screamed "F YOU" at my screen. I knew they said it wasn't going to be Switch 2 but the hype they created made me think they were just going to surprise us with it anyway. Absolutely unacceptable to do this to us. Once they knew Switch 2 was expected, they should've deleted the tweet.
It's a copypasta; I was just joking. I want to be clear that I don't actually have any issue with this announcement or Pyoro.If I was a Pyoro, this level of entitlement might make me just want to shut up altogether.

This Monday has a bunch of holidays all over the world. In Japan it's a public holiday as part of Golden Week, where I live it's a bank holiday thanks to a couple reasons. It's the first Monday of summer here, it's the first Monday after May Day, etc.Huh...am I forgetting about a Holiday today, or is it unusual for Nintendo to be this quiet on a Monday? No activity from their twitter at all, not sure if something similar happened for Game Builder Garage, does anyone recall what time that was announced?
Edit: Just looked it up, looks like it was announced at 3 PM PST. Also looked at Everybody 1-2 Switch as well, that was announced at 6 PM PST.
I could be wrong, but I think Golden Week ended yesterday.This Monday has a bunch of holidays all over the world. In Japan it's part of Golden Week, where I live it's a bank holiday thanks to a couple reasons. It's the first Monday of summer here, it's the first Monday after May Day, etc.
So Nintendo UK and Nintendo JP probably wouldn't be doing anything significant this Monday.
Sunday in JapanI could be wrong, but I think Golden Week ended yesterday.
Google says it's Tuesday there right now? And that Golden Week ended on the 5th.Sunday in Japan
It would be really funny if they have an upcoming software slide in a powerpoint that's just Paper Mario and Luigi's Mansion 2 HD.Hmm, I really thought it would've been announced before their financial briefing just to beef up their lineup slightly, even if it doesn't seem like a large game.

Never forget Bakugan Direct.It's a copypasta; I was just joking. I want to be clear that I don't actually have any issue with this announcement or Pyoro.

Wouldn't be too different from last year's:It would be really funny if they have an upcoming software slide in a powerpoint that's just Paper Mario and Luigi's Mansion 2 HD.
In all fairness, that was Breath of the Wild 2, DLC for two of the biggest games in the Switch library, and an IP with big breakout potential. This is just a remake and a remaster.Wouldn't be too different from last year's:
The 6th of May was a national holiday in Japan as part of Golden Week. The 5th was the final actual date as far as I can tell, but the public holiday was the Monday after. Notably, markets were closed.I could be wrong, but I think Golden Week ended yesterday.

could be anytime between now and the June direct tbhSo...when do we think this could be getting revealed? Between how Pyoro usually leaks information and the ESRB leak, it should be soon right?
I suppose there's always a possibility that there was a large change in plans.
When everyone made fun of him, Furukawa heard his call .... and he got warned for itARE YOU KIDDING ME, NINTENDO?!?! YOU'VE BEEN TEASING US FOR YEARS, AND NOW YOU'RE JUST LEAVING US HANGING?!?!

Could be, the only thing that makes me believe otherwise is that Pyoro usually only teases when close to a release/event. Though so soon after the investors meeting may be unusual.could be anytime between now and the June direct tbh
Yeah I’m thinking this week. But no, we’ve had random stuff drop near the meeting beforeCould be, the only thing that makes me believe otherwise is that Pyoro usually only teases when close to a release/event. Though so soon after the investors meeting may be unusual.
