Wow, if I were on the west coast I would already be watching it rite now. T-T

Any WCGaf gonna spill the beans early?
 
The meltdowns over Cranky Kong made the VGX worth it last year really. Not like most other companies took it seriously either.

Sure, the reaction was memorable and spawned several memes about cranky, but Nintendo got slammed HARD for revealing a character people already knew about.

But the reveal per se wasn't that bad, when I posted the leaked boxart the reaction was fairly positive about Cranky being playable.

Probabily they got really pissed that their surprise got spoiled but the had to show it anyway because it was too late to change program.

They got slammed hard because it was something for a game we knew about and wasn't far from release. A simple Amazon leak was appropriate or a PR for it, not something they hyped for a "dudebro" event.

That's why people got pissed, they wanted something BIG and NEW. a.k.a what a lot here are saying.
 
Reggie got his teeth kicked in for Cranky, though. Even Geoff went in on him, live, on the stream.

Nintendo gonna Nintendo, so it could easily be nothing, but I'm not 100% committed to that because it was borderline nothing last year.

But VGX was not an event many gave a fuck about, even some directs had more traction
