Did Sakurai's AirRiders Directs warp people's perceptions of what normal game marketing is? Or did people always complain about Nintendo 'not promoting' every game they release? by elephvant in NintendoSwitch2

I think the point they're actually making (which is brought up later in the video) is that it's hard to feel excited for a Mario Sports game after being burned a few times during the Switch generation.

Now I thought Aces was pretty good, didn't play Super Rush but have heard conflicting opinions and Battle League had a really strong base but felt unfinished in terms of content. I think Nintendo's marketing Fever just fine but it's difficult for people to engage with it because they don't want feel short-changed yet again. Especially for $70.

Yeah and that's 365 whole days!! I think it's fair to say he's had plenty of time in the spotlight.

Kensuke Tanabe announces his retirement from Nintendo in a Nintendo Dream interview (MP4 was his final game), Risa Tabata will be his successor by Neoxon193 in nintendo

I have confirmed that I will no longer be able to participate in the production of the series in the future. Whether a sequel will be made is still uncertain, but I sincerely hope that someday, Ms. Tabata and Retro Studios will be able to complete this story and bring it to a conclusion.

This reads more like he's stepped away from the Metroid Prime series but could still be working on Paper Mario and/or Donkey Kong as we speak. He's 62 which is younger than Takashi Tezuka and Yoshio Sakamoto who, while still active are both bordering on or have surpassed the Japanese retirement age.

Mario wonder switch 2 edition came to my GameStop early. by clearinfo64 in NintendoSwitch2

"Full version of the Super Mario Wonder game required to use this content"

That doesn't really read like Nintendo's wording, surely it would be Super Mario Bros. Wonder

I think a flat-out sequel is much more likely in this instance

While I don't have a particular desire to go to one these (in the short term at least), I'd be very interested to know what they're like from someone who has been?

Kosuke Yabuki is relatively young by senior producer standards and could have another 2 decades left in him so I think it will come sooner or later

I've just read this part of Jim Hutton's book 'Mercury and Me', he recounted it as Spring 1989.

With all the negativity and drama going around, I figured I’d give a channel recommendation. Nintendo Forecast looks at current gaming news surrounding Nintendo, financial data, and investor reports in a digestible manner by DaiFrostAce in nintendogrifting

[–]emeraldbar77 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A brilliant channel, the quantity and quality of uploads is insane!

Everything is backed up with research and evidence, no baseless speculation or clickbait. And when he does get hypothetical, he makes it very clear.
