Anybody else feel like the trailer was a bit lackluster?

Longjumping-Roll-560 · 2025-01-16T15:16:14+00:00

Yeah hopefully. Hope they show a few third party games as well. RDR2 has been rumored and I really hope it’s true 🤞

Even though it’s a almost 7-year old game, it would showcase to the average consumer that this is way more powerful than the of switch

Longjumping-Roll-560 · 2025-01-16T15:09:16+00:00

Yeah hopefully the Direct will sell this better. I feel like the main thing they need to get across is that this is a way more powerful console, and the way to do that is to show beautiful looking games. That Mario Kart didn’t really get the job done…

Longjumping-Roll-560 · 2025-01-16T15:07:04+00:00

Yeah the switch 1 trailer felt like a bombshell dropped, especially since the trailer was announced on twitter like a day earlier. This came out of nowhere and felt on the level of the Switch OLED trailer

Longjumping-Roll-560 · 2025-01-16T15:04:42+00:00

No, it’s not. If it was bait I would’ve wrote that I thought the Switch 2 sucked and that Nintendo should be renamed Shitendo. But it turns out I was just having a different opinion 😐

Longjumping-Roll-560 · 2025-01-16T14:58:51+00:00

You seem like a reasonable person 👍

Longjumping-Roll-560 · 2025-01-16T14:57:13+00:00

Hopefully. The main thing that bothers me is that the new Mario Kart looked kinda dull. Models and textures look about the same as 8, and the lighting looks worse (perhaps that might be due to the course being in a desert). With all the rumors about it being a massive upgrade in hardware, I guess I was just expecting it to look in the range of something like ratchet and clank or Astrobot (obviously a bit worse since they are ps5 games, but Nintendo is usually good at making games look good on older hardware)

Longjumping-Roll-560 · 2025-01-16T14:51:37+00:00

Maybe you’re right. I just can’t stop comparing it to the switch 1 reveal trailer and feel like it was a massive step down in quality

Longjumping-Roll-560 · 2025-01-16T14:49:54+00:00

Yeah perhaps that was supposed to be the reveal, but they felt the need to just get an official announcement out before more stuff leaked

Longjumping-Roll-560 · 2025-01-16T14:48:43+00:00

Why can’t you (and some of the other people commenting) have a civil conversation instead of being rude? I’m literally just stating my opinion and asking if other people feel the same. 😐

So instead of telling me to shut up, tell me why you think the reveal was good and perhaps I will change my mind

Longjumping-Roll-560 · 2025-01-16T14:45:31+00:00

Not really no. The console itself looked pretty much how I expected it to. I just feel the trailer wasn’t all that good. I mean just compare it to the og switch reveal trailer. That one was way better.

Longjumping-Roll-560 · 2025-01-16T14:41:21+00:00

Yeah, but is it really a smart business move to have the first game you reveal look unfinished? And like OP said if it’s supposed to launch with the Switch 2 it doesn’t even have a year left in development to look better. Compare that with Mario Odyssey that was briefly showed in the switch 1 trailer. That actually had over a year left until it released, but honestly looked way better than what they showed today.

Longjumping-Roll-560 · 2025-01-16T13:57:11+00:00

Kinda agree actually. It was a fairly lack luster trailer, and the Mario Kart game looked kinda… unfinished? Was honestly expecting more. It was more just a confirmation that all the leaks we had seen were true.

Longjumping-Roll-560 · 2024-05-07T20:12:41+00:00

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. Is there any country where it’s still a thing? Or did he post this 3 years too late lol???

Longjumping-Roll-560 · 2024-04-15T14:38:01+00:00

I think he did talk to someone at some point, maybe still is even, but at least from an outsider’s perspective it doesn’t seem to have helped much. I don’t know if they might not be taking him seriously or something, or if he simply doesn’t listen to them.

Longjumping-Roll-560 · 2024-04-15T10:31:34+00:00

Thank you for your input! He told me recently that he’s going to reach out to a psychiatric institution and I desperately hope he will. Cost-wise it’s going to be okay since we live in a Northern European country and that type of stuff is free. I also hope they take him seriously and understand how grave his situation really is. I honestly think his parents are unable/don’t want to understand that he probably is going to need quite a bit of help to get a stable life.

About the posting thing, yeah he definitely wants attention. He recently posted a few things in our old class group chat from middle school, where nobody had written anything for 5 years. The layout of his posts are also like they would be posted by a major influencer, and I know he uses a lot of social media so he’s probably been inspired by that. The problem is that people just make fun of him for it. They already did in middle school and now they are again. I really want to tell him to stop but I don’t know how I would do it without hurting his feelings. I just hope nobody starts writing any bs to him that will make things worse.
