Jak joins me to discuss the recent backlash against Nintendo for their apparent lack of game announcements. Also, we talk about the Nintendo Direct Mini, and the return of plagiarist Filip Miucin to YouTube.

My kids woke me up at 6:15 am so we could watch that Mini Direct at 7 am our time. They still loved the direct, but they love every single thing Nintendo posts.

Not to defend anybody who overreacted to this direct, but I totally get how people may not have even seen the details before watching it. It was announced after a lot of people went to sleep and then came out before a lot of those same people even woke up. They just hear a rumor that there's a direct Monday, wake up and it's there. I only even saw details because I got woken up early for a work issue.

I definitely agree that I think Nintendo could have announced some stuff by now. Just don’t assign a date to anything so that the narrative isn’t that stuff is getting delayed. “We’re happy to announce Pikmin 3 definitive edition. We will provide more details about a release date at a future date.” For some reason Nintendo isn’t willing to do that either. So I can’t help but think they’re incredibly afraid of their stock taking a hit and feel that perhaps staying silent is the best course of action. But that doesn’t excuse their marketing missteps IMO. Overhyping Pokemon, Bakugan, and this partner direct just comes off as tone deaf. Whoever is in charge of marketing is misreading the room. That being said I’ll be chipping away at my backlog. I just finished Wonderful 101 last month and you were totally right about the quality of that game.

The older I get, the more and more I find myself really, really resenting the faceless-anime-profile-picture hate mobs on Twitter and such when things are even a little bit underwhelming in this industry. I can understand being disappointed. I mean, yeah, Nintendo stole my attention for like 40 minutes before showing me a Bakugan game lol of course I was a little peeved. At the same time, I just moved on with my life?? I didn’t tweet about how shit it was or anything. Jesus Christ people it’s not the end of the world. I look at my shelf of games everyday and I see stuff I got years ago for like 5 dollars and have never touched, just move on and play the games you’ve neglected or something. I like the hype cycles as much as anyone, but I get the feeling that this culture of big blowout events with crazy, mind blowing reveals only serve to satiate this population of people that only want to be excited from the reveals themselves and not to actually play these things half the time.
