I'm sure similar disclaimers worked out well for Alien: Colonial Marines.

Fine letters are almost the exact definition of misleading, because you show one thing with the intent of other and make very little effort to prevent the confusion.

As any other game could.Its good to be skeptical, but too much of it will just make you paranoid.

I agree with you. But isn't it odd that they didnt have any new game to show off for the console reveal? I mean I soooo want to know more about the next 3D Mario :( Maybe the next Luigi's Mansion? Or even a new AAA M rated title from Nintendo themselves. At this point on I would even take some second rate port announcement froma 3rd party publisher...

No, I am sorry, but this is unacceptable IMO. I get that they add gameplay footage post production, but thus far the only AAA game that was confirmed for the Switch is Zelda, and even that is a cross generation game. This was a botched attempt. They should have shown at least 3 other major titles from themselves, to actually get excited about the upcoming software lineup (games that will actually make it to the system).

I am pretty certain that the software support will be there (that's why I will put down my money on it) but game wise the reveal was abysmal. There is no other way to put it. Nintendo was always with the mantra that games sell a system, where are the games 5 months from release?

It's just a teaser for the concept itself. Nintendo did cleary say that when announcing it. Software direct/trailer is coming in 2017, like they also said. It should be good or even great, but we'll have to see in 2017.

So no Skyrim on Switch after all?



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Bethesda is not suing Nintendo for lying and they did give some vague PR statement regarding support instead of calling their lawyers, so something is coming at least. Likely Skyrim remastered. Hope for even more :).

Yes, we all get that. What we dont get (and Im certain I am the majority on this one) why did they have to reveal it like this? Couldent they just caugh up 2 extra launch titles 5 months before release? It just seems in best case odd, worst case, a missed opportunity.

Whenever they have something positive going on, they always know how to screw it up.
Pokemon Go>ruined with new updates
Switch>create confusion by continuing to be mysterious, wait till next year to reveal more so losing momentum

Oh yeah, because they are gonna lose all their momentum in this terribily long 2 MONTHS

An they must be causing a lot of confusion with a statement that nobody outside forums like this would read and that probably means nothing relevant.

We all do!But if they tried to do many things in a teaser trailer, it might not have done well neither of them.I personally think that the trailer was so good because it was laser focused on selling the concept of the Switch, keeping games to a minimum, just to have proof of concept and also tease a little.



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

So you're talkig about the Killzone reveal from more than 11 years ago as opposed to the recent Killzone reveal?

Yeah, they lie as fuck, you seem to be taking this simulated screen too serious when its something standard for advertisment, ahhh be we gotta push that anti Nintendo agenda.

So, you're still refusing to acknowledge that they haven't done that this generation?

you do realise the preview isn't aimed at you but the general public?

they wanted to get a message across about wtf it actually does, because unlke the wii u no one was informed. 

by adding "new game footage" it would take away from what the switch is about. they wanted people to talk about the switch and not the games. that way come time of release unless you been livng under a rock you know what it is and that it is a new console and not an addon for the wii.
