*Goes and checks twitter*

I don't see that many people mocking Cranky Kong or Nintendo. Most twitters are about how surprised they are that Cranky is in the top trends and heck I've seen quite a few twitters saying that with how shitty the VGX were Cranky Kong was the best thing in the show (some of them are talking sarcastically of course, but people can't tell the difference).  

So yeah Nintendo got what they wanted.

It's Nintendo, what where you expecting a new IP or something.

Isn't the whole show just sickening? I'm happy I actually forgot to tune in this year.

er yes but I'd say only about 5% of the tweets are actually making fun of the fact while the rest are just legitimite reports.

You should check twitter. I also expected lot's of mocking and stuff, but surprisingly I haven't seen that many actually mocking Nintendo. With some very few exceptions, the worst things I have seen are that they are disappointed.

It actually seems to be that most people are just pointing out that Cranky Kong is trending, more than anything. At least now, not sure how it was when Cranky Kong was first announced.

Tbf, yes Twitter is not a bloodbath. But it could have be a very positive day with something more meaningful, even if it wan't something new.

It gets the game attention, which is what Nintendo needs. And as long as that attention isn't all critism, the attention can only benefit the game.  

This post made me cry.

You be the judge on what type of cry it was. 

We'll see if that attention worked next year at release.
