Forums - Nintendo - Nintendo: "You shouldn’t assume what you saw on the video represents actual Switch game footage"

Its written at the end of the trailer that "game images are not final and may not represent that game" or something of the like.No9body is being misleading here.

I'm sure similar disclaimers worked out well for Alien: Colonial Marines.

and how many people sued  Ubisoft for Watch Dogs or The Division? how many people used sony for all their PS3 CGI footagewhen the console was annouced?

How many people sued Sony for their PS4 launch?  Advertisng games that are 3-4 years away lol. I'm sure millions who watched that video were expecting those games as there was no clear indicator or disclaimer they were 3-4 years away.

The millions of people you speaking about are simply casuals not real gamers who just watch shit on youtube. Do you honestly think they give a flying fuck about the accuracy of these trailers? If they did pretty much all 3rd party studios would have class action law suits for the footage they have shown in the past.

People kept saying Nintendo needs to be more like the competition and actually advertise their product. So when they create a trailer full of buzz and fluff that makes the common person go this is cool it suddenly a bad thing? I could argue that Sony sold the PS4 on a false promise. That console sold million before any note worth game that wasn't a port was out on the system. This Nintendo trailer is no different. It is selling a concept of being able to pull your switch in and out and hang with friends and play it on the go. Clearly over the top because like who still high fives when they meet in 2017?

I think people are reading too much into this. Nintendo only wants to reveal their console this year and because that they only showed placeholder games like MK8 and such. Even the actor who worked on set said the TVs and such were blank. The footage was added after the fact. The intention was only to show off the console, not the games. Similar to the Wii U Zelda demo

Yeah but with 5 months until the release they should have at least some games to show us. If their plan really is to just show the Switch, have developers say that their games might not be on the console and tell people to not assume that they'll get the games that they showed and then stay silent for another 2 months, then there will of course be a lot of problems.

I'm not saying I agree with their tactic. I think this whole secrecy thing is a bad idea. But I'm just saying that they didn't make the commercial to show off games

It just means the actors weren't playing in the clip and the screen was black.

they even messed up the cut here 

No, that's not what it means. People have explained that already.

A disclaimer would have been nice, Nintendo.

I have no idea what they are trying to say here. Is this because some people complained about the framerate of the footage, or because the concept doesn't work exactly as they showed it on the trailer?

maybe because breath of the wild was running at 12 fps, but was a simulated screen not the device itself.

If it is simulated footage, it's odd to put it at low fps on the video so people will think it's a weak console. Normally, "fake" gameplay videos try to make the game look better not worse.

It could be some mistake when doing the video, but that would be just ridiculous. I guess that at least Zelda can be real gameplay. Of course, it will be optimized to run like a charm before launch, it's Nintendo were talking about.



Bet with jetforcejiminy: PS4 will pass the Wii lifetime numbers.

This is NIntendo we are talking about. non of that crap about frame rates even enters their minds. They gave the videos to someone to put them together. Also lets be honest how many people stopped to over analyse each game footage?  most people go ok mario game mario kart zelda skyrim nba and think nothing of it except seems like it will have a few more games that wii u at launch.

I see people, even with evidence, don't wanna believe that every game was a simulated screen. ok guys, ok.

It's a shame that they have to release "bullshots" videos.
