Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

The internet is on fire every other day.

This is some expert level viral marketing abd they damn well know it.

Reminds me of the build up to the Switch reveal and then the Switch event.

Get hype to boiling point and announce at the latest possible moment.

The Chibi Robo image is just their version of the Elmo fire gif. Nothing more than that. Chibi Robo is still very much dead

@antster1983 Niiiice... I hope everyone here tries it out. They won't, and maybe shouldn't, but I can hope.

Should we expect an announcement for a direct today? What with all these weird tweets.

So...does this mean Chibi Robo is returning? Or does it mean they're burning Chibi Robo at the stake? Or does it mean nothing at all and they're just trolling us to hype a direct? Or is that the official graphic for the next investors meeting for the answer to the question of what the current potential for the Chibi Robo brand is?

Im....yep. viral marketing

Are they planning to keep posting random stuff hoping we'll all burst laughing before quietly announcing the Direct or something? This is getting weird.

I like how Nintendo is playing with the fans' emotions.

If they tweet a pikmin picture I'll lose my mind

Project Giant Chibi Robo!

Nintendo of America are watching Resetera.

@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.
