and released piece by piece
Nintendo scared of backlash because Goldeneye has russia in it
I think I know why the June Nintendo Direct was dismantled

nintendo is losing pretty hard this year

It's one third-party announcement. I really doubt Nintendo would delay a presentation over it. Now if it was first-party, it would be a different story.
Parker Perez
Isn't the code property of Rare, and Rare itself is property of Microsoft? Why Nintendo would have anything on them, since their license was for only one game?
Josiah Lee
Yeah, MS will announce Goldeneye
Landon Young
You're underestimating how hard Nintendo is bleeding this year. Just no good releases lined up.
Adam Harris
Why would Rare own the code when Nintendo was the publisher?
Julian Price
they probably had the direct all ready and recorded but don't know what to do with that, and maybe a few other things had issues so they pulled them
it was obvious something was wrong a few weeks before E3 when nintendo forgot to upload the weekly 3 hopes hype trailer and demo
the persona collection, splatoon3 switch, new nso games, nier automata would have been half of a direct
William Long
Nintendo has Xenoblade 3, Splatoon 3, Mario + Rabbids, Pokémon, and Bayonetta 3. They also got out Kirby and Nintendo Switch Sports earlier this year. If that's "bleeding" in your eyes, then I don't know what to tell you.

Nothing that people care about, what's out already was quickly forgotten about. Kirby? Instantly forgotten about Switch Sports? Wii U Sports 2 more like. Everyone forgot about them and Nintendo has no major title for this year.
Tyler White
It was obvious the Direct was edited down. The announcer said they'd show off games for 2022 and then the next 4 were for 2023
Oliver Wright
Yeah, I agree. Just think there had to be a big reason they suddenly cut down whatever presentation they had planned, although maybe it was just a lot of shit hitting the fan around the same time.

>Nintendo scared of backlash because Goldeneye has russia in it
Bullshit speculation. Why would Western players be offended by killing Russians when the media portrays them as enemies? I think it's just licencing issues: a party or parties want more money than Nintendo is prepared to offer.
Asher Reyes
It's a fucked up nightmare of legal issues
IIRC Rare owns the game code, Nintendo owns the publishing rights to the game, and the rights to portraying James Bond in any type of media is owned by whoever the fuck owns James bond
Luke Mitchell
Kirby is single-player focused for one, but I've seen it brought up as a highlight for this year quite a lot already. Switch Sports on the other hand is still selling consistently among the console's big casual audience. The only real flop Nintendo has had this year is Mario Strikers.
Even with all that, are you acting like Splatoon and Pokémon at minimum won't make a lot of waves among release? That's just out of touch.

>and the rights to portraying James Bond in any type of media is owned by whoever the fuck owns James bond
Danjaq already signed off on a game
Angel Anderson
>Advance Wars (remake of 20 year old GBA games) delayed indefinitely because muh war
>Goldeneye 007 (rerelease of 25 year old N64 game) in stasis because muh war
Nintendo does beyond retarded things to be this child friendly loving company but behind closed doors unleash lawsuits after lawsuits of fangames and stalk random people because they hacked their Wii U. Fuck Nintendo
Asher Moore
FUCK YOU JAKE STOP LOOKING AT MY SCREEN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN EVERY TIME ITS NOT FAIR
Cooper Howard
>aonuma sends botw2 trailer to management to put into nintendo direct
management: this looks just like botw1! wtf have you been doing the past 5 years? you're gonna ruin the company! we're not showing this!
aonuma: prease undastando
Easton Ross
BotW2 is going to be a massive shitshow and people aren't ready for it.
Nolan Thomas
probably dont want to wake up to headlines like:
nintendo releases anti-russian game on eve of russian offensive
or be accused of glorifying violence or whatever
you know how game "journalists" are
Oliver Phillips
pokemon will sell, but who will care? Brilliant Diamond and Pearl also sold, but can you believe those games aren't even a year old? Nobody even remembers them. Nintendo has nothing worth playing this year.
Jace Peterson
>yeah just make the internet more accessible to everyone
>nothing will go wrong
>yeah dont ban phoneposters
>nothing will go wrong
Colton Bennett
This. It's the third pokemon we're getting in a year and bdsp and pla didn't have staying power. It's hard to give a fuck anymore. It's the mcdonalds of games, sells and is comfortably familiar but it's shit in the grand scheme of things. Disposable experiences only get relecant by memes and porn
Christian Hernandez
This is what Nintendo achieved this gen. Wii U sold like crap because the games were crap. Switch sold well but enthusiasm in software drops to 0 shortly after release, this is the generation people realize Nintendo games kinda suck.
