I don't need to waste my time because you do this same routine all the time. Everyone and their grandma knows there were plenty of people saying Switch 2 can't be the name becase "Nintendo wouldn't do that" or Mario Kart can't be the launch title because "Nintendo wouldn't do that" or it can't be $450++ pricing because "Nintendo wouldn't do that".

Maybe, frankly, the next person who uses "Nintendo wouldn't do that" as their logic should just get a boot up their ass at this point, because they've gotten virtually nothing correct in the last several years really. 

Nintendo clearly gives zero fucks about the "Nintendo wouldn't do that" crowd. They do whatever suits them in the moment very clearly and break all kinds of past "precidents" on the regular at this point maybe one should ask if there's anything the new management at Nintendo does based on the past, because I'm not seeing it. Even things like having regular Directs at certain periods of time seem to be a no go at this point. New management means forget whatever the previous one was doing. 

Nope.  Made up nonsense.  After the Wii-U, everyone and their grandma thought Nintendo should go to simple nomenclature.  

Nope.  Mario Kart 8 sold 80,000,000, Odyssey sold 30,000,000, everyone thought MK made sense.  

Must be nice making up arguments and claiming victory against imaginary opponents.  Cheers mate.

*my theory is in primary school all the cool kids had Genesis and you have a weird chip on your shoulder about Nintendo as a result*

No, Soundwave is right that a lot of people on here were arguing about name/launch titles/price/specs. Things like

”Nintendo has never had a 2 for a system name.” (I personally thought Super Switch)

”Mario Kart is a game you buy when you already have the system, it’s not a system seller itself.”

”Anything over $400 is suicide.”

”Nintendo always releases weak hardware, it won’t be able to run PS5/XBSX ports.”

Yes, these were common arguments on this site. Just because he’s not willing to go through dozens of threads and hundreds of posts to prove doesn’t mean he’s wrong.

Now obviously this doesn’t mean everyone was making these arguments. A lot of people were also arguing in favor of 2/MK launch/$400+/powerful.
