| fleischr said: Agreed. Nintendo can spin up massive hype practically anytime they really need to. In fact it's proving useful for them to pace that effort throughout the year rather than put all their eggs in the E3 basket where they can easily be upshown already by the collective of Sony, MS, and even 3rd parties. If all they do is an extensive look at a fantastic game like Mario Odyssey or Xenoblade 2 similar to BotW - I'm satisfied. Everything else is gravy. |
Exactly. The Switch is the hot item right now. No one can deny that. They don't even need an E3 to keep it selling. People want it.
What good would showcasing a ton of 2018 games, or hyping new unanoucned games do? It would just get more people to want the system, right? But they don't need that right now. They can't keep up with demand as is. So might as well just stick to hyping up their soon to release games so that they sell well.
They can whenever they want drop a Nintendo Direct and reveal some new games to build up hype. There is no need tolay all your eggs as you said at E3. E3 has so many games and new reveals and trailers that it becomes more of just a cool event to watch versus actually mattering who "win E3"
The switch is hot. Based on prior years, their poken tournament, arms tournment adn splatoon tournamnet will draw huge viewers online. And all three of those games come out in consequetively each month. They will have no trouble selling systems through today and the holiday. Drop a Direct in Nov something to showcase some Q1 games, and another direct in Jan for the rest of 2018 and that shoudl keep the momentum going after the holidays.
