I don't really care about the pomp and circumstance either, in itself. But as I said, the issue is that they clearly take that reduced pressure to mean that there's also reduced pressure to perform when it comes to the games themselves.But that stuff doesn't fit the needs of the current audience or times we are in.
I think your reaction to my take is the only thing that's deranged here. I'm not going feral because of a lack of specific info about the console, it'll be what it'll be. All I'm pointing out is that they've gone about the announcement of this thing as if it's an accessory. It feels rushed despite the Switch having come out 8 years ago and the biggest selling point so far is backwards compatibility. You might even mistake the new Mario Kart they showed as visually inferior to MK8 - which is an 11 year old Wii U game by origin.What kind of deranged take is this even? Nintendo released a fucking teaser showing off the console, giving media dates for more info, and THIS is the conclusion you come to? First people are going feral because there was no info except for leaked spec lists and accessory manufacturers.
If the reveal of the next gen is so unremarkable, I cannot help but wonder how it will play out. The console already has the problem of being at least 1.5 gens behind in tech; they're not going to have a new Zelda ready before 2030 if TOTK's dev cycle is any indication; Metroid Prime 4 will probably be one of the flagship titles they push, but that game looks almost exactly like the MP1 remaster and is cross gen.
Even the way people talk about it feels so managed decline-ish. Kinda like the PS5 as compared to the PS4. It's just accepted that this thing will not be as successful as the first Switch. Why shouldn't it be? Are people not tired of an 8 year old machine that was anemic in tech when it first launched? Or is there a lack of incentive with the games they're pushing and how they're pushing them?
