They don't seem nervous. If they were nervous, I wouldn't expect such a confident cadence of games. Pulling Wonder out of the hat, and finding out the game had no set schedule, was not the act of a nervous Nintendo, but a confident one.
Agreed 100%. Their inept and protracted marketing scheduling around the Switch 2 is crystal clear evidence they're scared af. Like mathematical proof levels of evidence, Q.E.D.
I think Nintendo is confident yet cautious. They likely have a winning product, that isn't even a question honestly, but rushing the thing is the exact "pride before the fall" mistake that Nintendo has made on 3 occasions. The launch of the N64, 3ds and Wii U. All successors to big systems for them, all of which suffered from being rushed or heavily flawed as a result of previous successes. Taking their time is sensible, getting everything ready to ensure no screw isn't tightened.
How? Like Nintendo marketing has been on point for the last 7 years.
Screwing up a hardware transition from a successful system for the 4th time.
You say, in a thread dedicated to anticipating their next advertisement reel, for games releasing on a 140+ million seller console.
and yet here we are
I don't see how they can possibly screw this up unless it's like $800 and no launch lineup....
Super Famicom, GBA, and 3DS each also had three Fire Emblem games, and not only did the 3DS game have a remake, the Super Famicom had a kinda-sorta remake as well. So it wouldn't feel too out of place for the Switch to get a third one as well.
That wasn't confidence, that was sheer stupidity and somehow, depsite that, Xbox fumbled the bag, with the red ring of death.
I trust Nate, but I also have to wonder if there hasn’t been an update because there hasn’t needed to be one. In the last September speculation he said it was just up to Nintendo to decide where to slot it into their lineup, so it’s not as if there’s more to update about beyond just a blatant confirmation it’s in the direct, and I don’t know if he gets those kinds of updates very often or not.
Don't you mean $599 USD?
Switch is succesful despite incept marketing decisions at times.
Here's a enemy crab.
Took the words outta my mouth, this is exactly how I see it. Nintendo understands their previous missteps thanks to the Wii U and they’re taking their time to ensure it doesn’t happen again, especially when they have an even bigger goldmine than what they had with the Wii.I think Nintendo is confident yet cautious.

If I had to describe what Nintendo is doing in a brief gif, it's as simple as:
Clown post again
The fact that this happened and nobody was like ”maybe we shouldn’t do this“ is insane. And it’s even crazier how Nintendo, who is usually 5 steps a head of what everyone else is doing, didn’t think that the Wii U might be a PS3 situation only far more disastrous
Yeah, I remember the final few days of the GameCube and Wii were pretty barren.
If we get a prime 4 trailer for 2025 that's enough tbh... Im coping!
Their marketing has been bad since they got rid of Spaceworld.
Eh to me it sounds perfectly plausible. More than Zelda HD releases even. While MP4 is a huge game for this boards, it has a limit for what in can achieve sales wise. A new 2D zelda could be a nice fall season release next to that. Since they have released more than enough Mario games this year, the other guns of Nintendo needs to do much of carrying this year.
But they're talking about Nintendo, not Team Cherry?
