The Nintendo January 2017 was my first ever Nintendo presentation. And I remember walking away from it blown away by one game in particular: Super Mario Odyssey. I didn’t even care that the game wasn’t launching with the system, I wanted Switch day one after seeing it.

…The irony of this thread is that it demonstrates just how out-of-touch the online gaming community is with general consumers. It also just serves as another example of how the internet can take an objectively massive event and turn an incredibly negative spin on it.

The Internet makes negativity so much louder and seem so much more common

The best part is, the Switch reveal was met with MASSIVE positive reaction from the internet, I remember that pretty well, that one trailer showing people playing on a roof and other stuff, got A LOT of people excited for the console. You must have needed to be a very "nintendoom" kinda person to make such a negative prediction post like this back then.
