Fuck Nintendo
Fuck Nintendo.
Very edgy
No, actually, fuck Nintendo. Or keep licking their boots, you do you.
Dude stop. There’s no ethical consumption in post-/late stage capitalism. Nintendo is no worse than Microsoft, Sony, Steam, I could go on and on. Let people play their fucking video games—it’s one of the only nice things about living in this modern day. Fucking sheesh.
Thank you.
“There’s no ethical consumption” doesn’t mean prostrating yourself at the altar of an international company that sends lawyers to people’s houses for writing emulators, lmao. Play your video games, but fawning over Nintendo Directs like they’re your Sunday morning sermon is weird.
Being mildly excited for new announcements = licking a company’s boots and “prostating yourself at the altar”
Log off already.
Hey man if you enjoy being ripped off and shilling for a trash company that sues everyone and their mom for making a cookie in the shape of mario, then maybe you ought to log off as well. Maybe get some perspective and evalute some life choices.
Microsoft and Sony aren’t currently trying to sue other developers into the ground. Nintendo is.

[citation needed], because given their size this feels more than just unlikely.
Are you literally asking me to provide proof that somwthing isn’t happening?
You can’t prove a negative, dumbass. The onus of proof is on you
You can’t prove a negative
*blinks*
You are calling me the “dumbass”, here? 😅 Both logic and philosophy say this perspective is wrong, and also, funnily enough, if this were true (as in, it’s not possible to proof a negative assertion in a burden-of-proof scenario) then that very claim could not be proven either? Because “You cannot prove a negative” is, in itself, a negative assertion.
Luckily for us this is of course wrong, and you can prove a negative. Especially in matters of fact, since you could find a list of current filings of Microsoft and hence show that no, of all their ongoing lawsuits, there are none that are targetting developers (which is not the case, it was easy enough to find two cases without digging any deeper).And I mean, this doesn’t do shit to exhonorate Nintendo here, but let’s not pretend Microsoft and Sony aren’t constantly running hundreds of legal cases and multiple will be targetting developers of all sizes. They’re just avoiding big press about most of them.

Ok buddy
Silksong news, probably??
Oh wait, autopilot.
I’m hoping for new Zelda or Mario news. Very excited.
Seems too soon to be announcing a 3D Mario or Zelda for holiday release, but I could see them announcing something for spring release in hopes of boosting holiday sales.
Tbh I think TOTK and BOTW have enough legs, especially with the Switch 2 releases, and I suspect the next Zelda will take some time because it’ll be a much different installment than the last two. But goddamn if I’m not ready for a new 3D Mario.
I’m ready for any news regarding anything Mario or Zelda, no matter the release date. 😊
Others: Hopefully a new Mario or Zelda game, that‘d be so hype!
Me: Hopefully Switch 2 updates for all Xenoblades, that‘d be so hype!
(And Fire Emblem please lol)
Same! Xeno 2 needs some love given how it suffered a bit from lack of resources and time to tune it when it released. And X needs that performance patch.
I just want more farming sims.
even if you’re a nintendo fan, you don’t have to tune in to 1 hour of advertisements, you know
i promise, once it’s over you’ll find out about all announcements you care about in other ways
Did Nintendo directs used to be better? Was it iwatas touch? Am I just nostalgic?
nintendo directs were always advertisements, it’s kinda their goal: to advertise to you upcoming nintendo products
I guess Iwata and Reggie made them more pleasant to watch, but they were still ads
Yeah but while it ain’t for me at all (I prefer written news), I know a lot of people do enjoy this format.
Screw that—that 30 minute premiere for Kirby Air Riders was pure bliss. If it’s a game I love, I want all the detes I can get.
This is the same fanbase that dropped $500 for a slightly better Nintendo Switch, there’s no reasoning with them.
This is a company that will sue you if you even watch this press release incorrectly, but they’re still coming at the bit
Watching new trailers is fun.
Putting it on while doing something is fine
You don’t need to tell people what to watch
I don’t understand why people have issues with shows like this, it’s not like ads on annoying news websites, people want to watch them, I’m not watching but I think it’s quite exciting waiting for a trailer you want to see (silksong for example) compared to seeing it in a news article afterwards.
