Title: Does Nintendo not have a big holiday game this year?
Post by: kitler53 on Aug 26, 2020, 04:21 PM
not that with ps5/xbox it isn't a common theme this year to announce things super-duper late but i saw a thread elsewhere about the mini-direct that just dropped and if im' not mistaken it is almost september and nintendo still hasn't announced any "tent-pole" game for switch this holiday.   i'm a wrong?  will nintendo have nothing this year (possibly covid related delays).  is it really a thing to make major announcements just 1-2 months out these days?  strategic withholding to counter ps5/xbox?

Nintendo indeed have nothing, they haven't had a proper direct for a long time either. Its a very strange year for them , really barren of new releases yet Switch hardware is insanely high. I think they will have something for the holiday they'll announce soon but it may just be another port/ remaster.

They don't need to counter PS/ xbox anyway, they don't affect each other.

They're probably planning something for launch with the new model in 2021

Seems like a Mario 3D collection is about to be announced.

So now its been announced its obviously not a big game, just 3 low effort ports. If that's it then yikes, this is one of Nintendo's worst years in history.

i mean, it'll still sell at least 10 million.  but yeah, what a disappointment.

If it was on sale for more than 6 months I'd agree, but I don't think it will reach that. Perhaps since Nintendo fans are so starved right now it could make it there anyway.

well to be fair to me,.. i didn't know that detail when i wrote that post.

...at the same time i don't think 10 million isn't obtainable.   as they say..

Looks like this is it. I'm pumped about this game, the story premise is amazing to me and I enjoy these kind of games. Its not exactly a big title though, warriors games are niche.

look okay.  putting it in the BotW engine will probably increase sales off the success of the main game.

Cool. Some core gamers will stop whining now while the casuals are lapping up Mario

Lol its a big reason for me, I love the BOTW art style. But I also love the setting and the story, I can't wait to explore this.

What can I say, I like new games and I like a prequel to my favourite game of all time. I even like a port if its not a lazy ripoff.

i don't think we are arguing.  i'm just saying i predicted your feelings.   i've never even played BotW and i generally had the same feelings when i watch the trailer.  this should, imo, be the highest selling "warriors" game because people won't see it as a "warriors" game.    ...they'll see it as a BotW spin-off.   

so generally speaking i think calling this niche or an underwheling holiday game tent pole are misplaced.   this will be probably the second highest selling game this holiday after that lazy mario port.

I don't think we're arguing either, so yeah, screw you!

Yep agree with all that, this will set a new warriors record for sure.

i'm deeply offended by your agreement with me.    we're never not talking again.
