Silksong news, probably??

Oh wait, autopilot.

I’m hoping for new Zelda or Mario news. Very excited.

cattywampas@midwest.social on 10 Sep 15:02 collapse

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.

victorz@lemmy.world on 10 Sep 17:48 next collapse

I’m ready for any news regarding anything Mario or Zelda, no matter the release date. 😊

Wasn't a lot of the usual names from the 3d mario studio's last game (dk) missing from the credits? I heard someone say it's probably because they were working on a 3d mario in parallel... hopefully

caut_R@lemmy.world on 10 Sep 14:44 next collapse

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)

cattywampas@midwest.social on 10 Sep 14:49 next collapse

I just want more farming sims.

evening_push579@feddit.nu on 10 Sep 20:18 collapse

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.

caut_R@lemmy.world on 10 Sep 20:25 collapse

All of them could do with native res and 60 fps, I hope that‘s not something that needs serious engineering power…

Fuck Nintendo.

No, actually, fuck Nintendo. Or keep licking their boots, you do you.

mienshao@lemmy.world on 10 Sep 17:47 collapse

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.

Being mildly excited for new announcements = licking a company's boots and "prostating yourself at the altar"

Log off already.

Zoot@reddthat.com on 11 Sep 06:30 collapse

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.

mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.works on 11 Sep 01:52 next collapse

Microsoft and Sony aren’t currently trying to sue other developers into the ground. Nintendo is.

Fuck Nintendo and quit licking their boots

[citation needed], because given their size this feels more than just unlikely.

mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.works on 11 Sep 17:44 collapse

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

Carighan@piefed.world on 12 Sep 08:43 collapse

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.

If you’ve ever taken a philosophy course you’d know you’re completely full of shit.

Your whole comment belongs on r/okbuddyretard. Not that I should have expected any better from a Nintendo bootlicker

Carighan@piefed.world on 12 Sep 21:57 collapse

You can just admit you were wrong, you know? Both about current legal cases and about how how proofs of negative claims are viewed in mathmatics particularly logic, and in philosophy. That's okay. Sometimes we are wrong, and we learn from accepting that.

I don't disagree Nintendo is a shithole company, after all. Just take it as a learning experience: More than one company can be shite at the same time.

Nintendo is suing Palworld over patents they filed AFTER Palworld released, and said patents are so broad that many other games also technically violate said bullshit patents. Nintendo is the one in the wrong.

Source for the latest bullshit patent that they were awarded: forbes.com/…/uh-oh-nintendo-just-landed-a-summoni…

Eat my entire ass, bootlicker.

Nintendo is no worse than Microsoft, Sony, Steam, I could go on and on.

But that statement is incorrect. Nintendo does too much to harm game preservation, much more than any other company.

carotte@lemmy.blahaj.zone on 10 Sep 17:25 next collapse

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

SteakSneak@retrolemmy.com on 10 Sep 17:39 next collapse

Did Nintendo directs used to be better? Was it iwatas touch? Am I just nostalgic?

carotte@lemmy.blahaj.zone on 10 Sep 17:45 collapse

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

mienshao@lemmy.world on 10 Sep 17:48 next collapse

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.

november@piefed.blahaj.zone on 10 Sep 18:14 next collapse

This is the same fanbase that dropped $500 for a slightly better Nintendo Switch, there's no reasoning with them.

scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech on 11 Sep 14:00 collapse

This is a company that will sue you if you even watch this press release incorrectly, but they’re still coming at the bit

arudesalad@piefed.ca on 10 Sep 19:22 next collapse

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.

missingno@fedia.io on 10 Sep 20:27 next collapse

Watching new trailers is fun.

Carighan@piefed.world on 11 Sep 07:08 next collapse

Yeah but while it ain't for me at all (I prefer written news), I know a lot of people do enjoy this format.

BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz on 11 Sep 19:47 collapse

Putting it on while doing something is fine

You don’t need to tell people what to watch
