Guide to watching a Nintendo direct:

1: set the bar low
2: realise that even that is ambitious and lower it even more
3: watch the video filled with lazy remasters, AA projects by Nintendo second teams, terrible ports of old games, and shovelware aimed at pre teens
4: be disappointed despite the low expectations.

Predictable. The word you meant was predictable.

Predictable. The word you meant was predictable.

At this point with the video game industry, you're correct. The problem is these cookie cutter indie games make millions upon millions and there is [almost] no stomach for making AAA games, unless they are a sequel to some widely popular title like Halo 22 and Call of Duty 238.
