You people simply don't understand marketing. This comment section describes exactly the reason for their decision. As long as the conversation continues, your brains are filled with "Nintendo". The more it's filled with "Nintendo", the more likely you are to buy their products. And of course, this controversy draws even more people into the world of Nintendo. At the end of the day, it's all fiction. Yet the more people connect emotionally with the storyline, the more money it will generate. So, to their benefit, keep this pointless discussion going...

@smithyo That's exactly what they want. If everyone wasn't so dried out, people would be more critical of the new console.

It's obvious that with the new bundles and the new advertising for the 'old' Switch, they want to get everything they can out of it this Christmas season. How many people out there do you think don't know that a new Switch is coming out next year? How many kids want a Switch as a present right now? These are the ones being targeted. The fanbase is already hooked anyway. Nintendo has only promised to present the new console by April. No more and no less. But if I'm just wishfully thinking that the new console will come out this year, it's my own fault that I'm so 'dried out'.

It was all top-notch marketing. Alarmo is like a kiss on your cheek from a girl who knows very well you're in love with her, but just wants to string you along to keep the door open, while she attaches strings to even more innocent guys. Nintendo gives you just enough so that you don't give up or become furious. That can lead to psychological dependency. But that actually suits a company of this size quite well. What happens when you always give people everything they supposedly want can be seen with the new PS and XBOX. Suddenly they're ungrateful, critical, things no longer suit them. Nintendo has perfectly coordinated supply AND demand. They have played with people's expectations and wishes and that will pay off.

Sorry, but it's articles like these, that make me feel like alex is the only content creator who actually knows what he's doing. That ranking is ridiculous!

Reasons:
1. Marketing Strategies (Hypetrains)
2. We search for the same excitement we had when we were younger
3. When we realize, that we won't experience those same feelings like we had in the past, we abandon the game and search for the next one...

And that is, when we get vulnerable for hypetrains. We are told, that the next game is going to give us exactly THAT excitement. (Marketing does not sell products but feelings!)

The truth is, it is impossible to have the exact same feelings once again. On the other hand though... If you realize that, you might be able to deny those marketing strategies. Don't jump on hypetrains in search for your next fix.
Be aware, that you already own great games, cool down and then... Simply enjoy them!

@Mew No problem... Deleted.

Yup, I am one of these ultimately disappointed people. The game was not just bad, it was completely unbalanced. Might be a good chance, that this is the game how it should have been last year. And it might be a really good game now. But I won't buy it, as I felt extremely punked with last years release.

So funny when people at first hate a game entirely and question each and every decisiom the dev made. Then the dev shows up and they are like: "Uuuh, I like your work, please keep doing your thing. Maybe I'll try your game at some point." Kids, just don't be so hateful on everything you see and don't be so overbearing to think you know everything better then anyone - then you don't have to apologize afterwards and you will become all square! (Which actually will help you in your whole life)

Super cool news!

Yep, definitely wario's woods-ish... I loved wario's woods, so I might like this one, too.

To be able to choose the colour of the joy cons is a huuuuuge plus, imho!

Nah... Someone's a bit hyped about this game. A 10 is just unobjective.

Can´t wait!!
