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

Guys this is fucking ridiculous, now it's rumored that there won't be any first party announcement on the 28th or let alone this week, as the Direct Mini Partner Showcase was the direct that was rumored the entire time for this week.

Guys, we need to make sure that Nintendo knows that they should never do this bullshit ever again, where they unveil their Holiday Titles in FUCKING SEPTEMBER, this is completely unacceptable and stupid on their part. They're literally shooting themselves in the foot not marketing these game long enough and not getting us excited for the future to continue to stay engaged with Nintendo. Nintendo is literally making crazy fans make threats towards other people over this, and they literally do not care. I'm so fucking done with their ignorant ass mindset.

And to those people that say this is fine and I need to calm down and I'm expecting too much: FUCK OFF! DONT TELL ME OR OTHERS HOW TO ACT

We have every single right to complain, and Nintendo does owe us something because we're the ones that keep them alive.

Plus, to those people who hate us complaining. Why does it benefit you that Nintendo doesn't reveal anything that's 1-2 from release? Why are you guys trying so hard to stop us from complaining. What could you possibly gain from Nintendo not unveiling anything.

It's because we are old. We are long past the point of getting hyped for anything that is more than two months away from release, that's why late announcements don't bother us. Games we can play right now have much higher priority than talking about games that get released in the future.

What we gain from this situation is entertainment value from posts such as yours. The outrage and subsequent defense for the outrage is a sight to behold. Many of the arguments resemble the time before Switch launched, such as two months aren't enough time to properly market a new console. But Nintendo waited until less than two months before launch with their proper presentation for Switch and that didn't hurt them.

The reason why the current waiting game won't hurt Nintendo either is because there are 20+ new game releases for Switch each and every week. People who want to stay engaged with Switch can choose from hundreds of quality games and there's something new all the time.

That being said, Nintendo's current strategy is less than ideal. But there's a difference between being able to do better and messing things up. There's also a difference between subjective and objective complaints which is why you and others get ridiculed; any attempts to qualify the complaints as objective usually fall flat on their face instantly.

I totally agree with all of this.

I just want to add that for me personally, I don't particularly look forward to games made by Nintendo more than third party games.  The only Nintendo made game that I've really loved on the Switch is Breath of the Wild.  I own several other first party games, which are decent fun, but I could have easily passed on them too.  All of my other top Switch games were made by other developers (although they might use Nintendo IP): Puyo Puyo Tetris, Axiom Verge, Cadence of Hyrule, Wargroove, etc....  Right now I'm playing West of Loathing and I'm really enjoying it.

This is just another of the many reasons why this thread is silly.  There are a lot of fun games out there that are not being made by Nintendo, but there are posters who don't seem to count those at all.  For some reason, only Nintendo games count.
