There are two basic types of Nintendo fans: the kind like you, who get excited by strong lineups when Nintendo is doing great - and then those who are only ever happy when Nintendo is downtrodden and failing - they will defend a bad game on Gamecube or Wii U to the death; but then completely ignore a list of 20+ good games on the Switch. Ironically, the second group is most concerned about Nintendo’s well being when they are having tremendous success; and will make a lot of “DOOOOOM!!!!” posts during these times. We saw all of these types during the Wii and DS era; they’re not going to be happy unless they can defend a failing Nintendo because they enjoy being victims. They can’t enjoy Nintendo during successful time periods. They’re addicted to negativity/conflict. Also, it’s kind of a pretentious/hipster culture thing to downplay successful things (pretend like they’re terrible) and play up things that are failing/unsuccessful (pretend they’re a lot better than they really are).
So when you post a list like that: Group B Nintendo will find problems with every game on that list or reasons to write them off, and pretend like it is all that will ever be released on the console. But even if the games were more numerous and the biggest possible IPs, it wouldn’t matter: Breath of the Wild 2, Final Fantasy 7 remake, GTA 6, and Super Mario Galaxy 3 - since Switch is successful, if they were announced, group B would still be morbidly depressed over the lineup. There’s basically no pleasing them unless Nintendo is failing at the time. Whereas you’re group A, you see more logically, and love that lineup. In addition, you likely are looking forward to what other games they will announce through the year. |
This sums it up, there is always a group of people who are "concerned" about Nintendo when they are doing really well.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
