Is Nintendo's Silence Concerning?

Bloody frustrating I'm amazed we have heard next to nothing about metroid 4 or switch 2, they really do play their cards close the chest.

Check this out. No direct in april or may. Direct Mini in june. Partner's Direct in September. And no console reveal this year at all, not a tease, LOL

Agree. Nintendo could opt for the next platform's introduction to be held as a historical celebration for the entire community, and at a time when it's least anticipated. The element of surprise should be in their favor at the time of reveal

Idk if its concerning, but its frustrating...mainly from a selfish perspective bc i just wanna see the new hardware/software but the silence also tells me theyre very confident in what they have in store to show

It’s hard to be patient with Nintendo because of their silence. I hope we will hear something soon! :_link:

Tbh it's very weird. It feels like they're just letting the Switch die, like they did with the Wii

The patience for Metroid Prime 4 is well beyond long gone at this point, I also think a new 2D Zelda game is overdue, they should also consider a Donkey Kong Country Returns 3.

It does feel pretty lackluster this year. Probably because they had such great games last year and I thought this year would be the perfect year to release switch 2 with so much hype and momentum! If it’s late 2025 when switch 2 releases I’m afraid they will not be as successful as it could have been. But what do I know lol

I'm still hoping that after the recent Indie Direct, we may get that full Nintendo Direct next week 🤞

It is concerning. Nintendo is taking too long to release the switch 2, by the time they release it on 2025 it would be only a year before Microsoft release their next gen console if they launch it in 2026 and we may see the PS6 in 2027 making the switch 2 a generation behind just like the Wii U was when the ps4/xbox one were out

The lack of TP and WW HD ports is concerning. Also still no new mainline mario game since 2017.

Their silence as far as Metroid is concerned is worrisome.

Nintendo showing Switch 2 would actually make me more interested in playing/buying games for Switch 1. Hype feeds hype! 😊

I think there will be a direct mini in June that will announce the Fire Emblem 4 Remake, Prime 2 and 3, New Mario Party, and the Zelda ports.

I think their silence makes sense until June comes around, then I think we'll get a general direct maybe even a mini general direct that showcases the last main Switch titkes: Metroid Prime 4 along with maybe Fire Emblem remake + few 3rd party titles. After that it's gonna be all about their next system.

This guys really hate Nintendo consoles!!!

I don’t think it’s concerning, because they did say they would be having other events for demos and what not. Also historically, in transition years, Gamescom for Nintendo is dedicated to the outgoing generation and Europe-specific releases. Now, just for sake of argument, let’s say there are still third party releases coming to the Switch that we don’t know about. The third party companies can have their own Gamescom presentation and Nintendo doesn’t have to worry about paying for space and what not. And if Nintendo has a General Direct in May, with everything being a worldwide release and no Europe-specific revisions, again Gamescom isn’t as important. Nintendo Live events could cost less and offer more control over demos and what not. Say they also tease Switch 2 in June, are planning the big blowout reveal to be the September Direct, and any part of the launch slate is cross-gen. Nintendo Live events to celebrate Switch’s last year and start marketing Switch 2 in September/October would still make more sense, offer more control, and cost less taking part in Gamescom. And Nintendo of Europe and Nintendo of UK both referenced holding other events that would make Gamescom make less sense for them.

9:25 I can see why AoC is a Hyrule Warriors spinoff, because it takes place in the BotW timeline and it comes with actual storyline.

If I didn't have Helldivers 2 right now, I'd be a lot more frustrated at Nintendo's silence. 😅... Low key it's still frustrating.
