Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

@SLIGEACH_EIRE What do you mean? You know, posting links doesn't really help if I don't know what I'm looking for.

It's just so funny to me how big of a deal this upcoming Direct is to so many people. Sure, I'm waiting for one as well but I don't care if it's today or after two weeks. All this hype leads to funny tweets, though, so it's all good. The official Mega Man twitter account posted a picture of Heat Man to Nintendo's Chibi-Robo image and Sonic account followed with Blaze the Cat. They sure know how to gather attention.

@NEStalgia It's just their version of this gif:

Just means they're laughing at the chaos

Nintendo being savage right now lol

@IceClimbers I always thought that gift meant Elmo was burning in Inferno for his pedophilia.

@Octane I think he's pointing out the fact that half the people on Resetera who are posting about the direct use that image as their avatar for whatever reason.

So when Nintendo posted that Chibi-Robo pic, the official Mega Man, Sonic, and Doom accounts responded with other pictures of characters on fire. But now the Assassin's Creed and Obsidian accounts have replied too with similar pictures? I might be looking too far into this but maybe that could be hinting at something...

You being part of that cancer explains so many other things now.

@Dogorilla I think that this really is the Direct. They give us some teasers now and then announce one big thing with dates. Riot Games also added a character on fire now. I really like this!

There's something to this or it's the greatest troll job by a collective of video game twitter accounts ever

Old Man's Journey - Nintendo Switch Trailer

@Dogorilla I can see Sonic doing it because Sonic's PR is a giant troll operation (it's more entertaining than the last 3 sonic games. Bada boom.)

Doom....well the character on fire may be a mere coincidence, that's sort of their thing.

AC and Obsidian? Interesting. I fear we're just being trolled on a large scale now

@Snadertjuh this is the first time I can think of that Nintendo has actually caught the attention of the entire troll base of the gaming industry on the internet. If Sony joins in I'll know it's just a gag. Maybe they're all at CES this week conspiring?

This game looks fantastic, I was planning to get it on Steam at some point but I'll wait for the Switch version now

@AlternateButtons I think we all are just being a bit hesitant it could be just a troll job but yeah weird to have this many companies in on it

@AlternateButtons Hype levels are just insane. It is a pleasure to bear witness to such passionate insanity!

@AlternateButtons Could be just them playing along. I've seen the Sonic the Hedgehog Twitter post weirder things than this. I think their PR teams are just having a bit of fun.

it's insane thats for sure XD.
sure it's just them being silly, but still.

The 2 images could be hinting at new games. The first is obviously Chibi-Robo. The second is a costume from Tomodachi Life.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE You're reading too much into those images.
