Staring into the abyss of a world where Nintendo has no games scheduled for release. Edit: The Time of Darkness Has Arrived

Technically correct, but still oh so wrong, because it's just a re-release of an old game. For the Nintendo hardcore, do you really think a re-release is going to get them excited? They already played that game 7 years ago. Sure, it's nice to own it on Switch, and I'll be double dipping. But this is in no way a replacement for BotW2 or Odyssey 2 or *any* new Nintendo game for that matter.

Heh, this is an ironic comment.  Not only does Nintendo have a game scheduled for release, but more importantly there are still plenty of third party games getting released.  On top of that the eShop seems to have a new sale every couple of weeks, and those sales are a good incentive to try something for a person who is out of games to play.  That is why this complaining about "no games" is kinda nuts.  There are plenty of games. 

People seem to be freaking out, because they are 1) only satisfied by games published by Nintendo, and 2) assume that Nintendo isn't making games, because they haven't announced them in a Direct.  The problem with 1) is that this person will never be satisfied, because Nintendo can only make so many games at one time.  The problem with 2) is that it's just plain wrong.  This thread has been complaining for months that Nintendo isn't releasing any games, while Nintendo keeps announcing games and releasing them.  They just haven't had a big direct.

This thread exists mosty because people like to complain.  Would I like a Direct?  Yes.  In the meantime I can find games to play, and I know Nintendo is working on games even if they don't have a Direct.  And in fact they do occasionally announce new games like Paper Mario or Pikmin, but they just don't announce them in a Direct.

1. Nintendo fans aren't only satisfied with Nintendo games. We've been over this before. Nintendo fans buy lots of 3rd party games. They just want and expect a certain amount of new Nintendo-made games per year. Nintendo fans aren't like MS fans. We expect good, and steady 1st party support for our console.

2. They don't assume Nintendo isn't making games. Of course they are making games. But those games won't be out this year. You keep claiming that Nintendo is releasing games, while missing the entire point. We want new Nintendo-made games.

@Bolded Pikmin isn't new. Paper Mario is a benchwarmer franchise. Paper Mario hasn't been up to the usual Nintendo standards since the Wii era. And even if I were to cut you some slack, and say that Paper Mario is a new Nintendo game, that's only two games this year. It's almost September and it looks like 2020 will be...

Animal Crossing
Paper Mario

and that's it.
