Nintendo releases worst Nintendo Direct possibly ever

Sweet. Instant buy for me. Didn’t really know about these games before Ryza but I do love crafting stuff so I hope the game comes out soon.

SMT5 Baby :D

I am satisfied.

Also Ryza 2.

And Nocturne >>>>>>>>>>>>> Persona

Edit: The reason this direct has so many dislikes is because it is massively watered down from the Japanese one.

Also, the less Persona content the better. I am still salty that Joker is in Smash.

They're not known worldwide as, Nintendont, for nuttin ya know? :P

OHhh Snap!! @KBFloYd what do you have to say to that?

@SolidGame_basic:

Easy, I'll answer for'em...

Silly, silly sheep gonna sheep. lolololololol :P

So, anecdotal evidence then? Because otherwise, Switch has been Nintendo's best in third party support for years. A lot of ports? Sure, but it's still something to play. I'm not going to complain about it too much, or I'd look like a hypocrite.

I wasn't aware ARMS and Splatoon were long running Nintendo IP's...

Because I've seen a lot of Switch owners defend that terrible port. Besides that, I'm pretty sure the defense for the Switch library is basically what I said to outworld, the best third party support Nintendo has had in years.

@nintendoboy16: I was referring to the original W101. It had way more prominence than if it had been released on a library that wasn't crying out for games at the time. For a good while there have been these droughts on Nintendo. Switch has been better, but honestly, you are paying full price in some instances for old games that you can get for next to nothing on steam and much better quality. For example, Witcher 3. Good to have it, but why buy it on switch for that price when you can wait for a steam sale and buy it for less than a tenner?

Imagine calling those games anything but shovelware.

So Nintendo switch still only has 2-3 good games for it? LOL guess everyone will wait for their next system to get new games. Lolololol

Yeah it was pretty bad... they shouldn't have called it a Direct.

They obviously have stuff coming for the rest of the year, because they have already said that their 2020 games are still on schedule. So you'd assume it's only a matter of time until they announce it (hopefully the Mario rumours are true).

I reckon they'll just drop the trailers one day randomly, like with Paper Mario.

Brand loyalty is like an eclipse to common sense. Nintendo happily exploit that and like an abused spouse, their fanbase keeps coming returning.

Coming as a PC gamer who had very little interest in Nintendo prior to the Switch, the Eshop in particular was positively shocking.

It was in no uncertain terms a scam job in plain site with no attempt to hide it. Exorbitant pricing.

But hey guys, Zelda. Mario.

@Gatygun: Calling well received games like Arms and Splatoon "shovelware". Lol

People acting like the Switch only has a couple of good games on it are out of their god damn minds. GTFOH 🤣🤣🤣

I'd agree with him, it is shovelware. As always, it gets more attention on the Nintendo systems because barely anything is on said system. If these games came out on ps4, a system full of quality titles, nobody would've noticed these two games even coming out.

There's a reason nobody ever talk about Arms, and Splatoon is only mentioned by Nintendo themselves. Its like this crappy game i've never even heard about prior to the mini direct, Rogue Company. This mediocrity looks so bad, but Nintendo spends this long talking about it during their very short N Direct. This company hypes garbage. Here, i said it.

@hardwenzen: Because Sony NEVER hyped trash (TLOU 2 if you skip critic scores and worship review bombs). Microsoft as well, they never did it (Crackdown 3).

Brand loyalty happens with virtually every console manufacturer.

TLOU2 was hyped, very well creceived by critics and is a stellar game at the end. Don't compare TLOU2 to some crappy Arms nobody played nor cared about. Crackdown 3 sure was hyped by MS. But at the end, the game was very poorly received by everyone. Arms and Splatoon aren't as bad as Crackdown 3, but they don't deserve any attention either, they're both average at best and Splatoon has only gotten this much attention because Switch has no shooters. This happens every generation since the Wii. Remember The Conduit? Generic trash gets some traction because said system has no games of that particular genre.

@hardwenzen: Dude, TLOU 2 got reception not unlike Rian Johnson movies like Last Jedi and Knives Out.

No idea who this Rian Johnson is, nor did i see Last Jedi and Knives Out. But i can assure you that a humongus percentage of people hating on TLOU2 is because of Joels death I've seen people stop playing the game that they were enjoying a ton prior to it happening. Others just set it on Easy and rushed through the story bashing it the whole time just because of what happened at the beginning. I have never seen this bullshit in any game before. And you know what? This game showed me how many manchild the gaming community has.

@jaydan: This is true, however Nintendo tends to be more fanatical in nature.

@uninspiredcup: Yes and no. Fanatical bitches reside on all sides of the spectrum.

Nope. SMT news is godly. SMT is godly.
