@AlonditeFE It's the Metroid cycle. As soon as it gets near release, loads of people who asked for it start getting cold feet and casting doubt, talking themselves out of buying it yet again over one tiny thing that bugs the hell out of them.

@AlonditeFE Bleak in here, isn't it? Holy cow...

@rvcolem1 generally any account that appears out of nowhere has one purpose on here...seen hundreds of them come and go.

@The_Nintendo_Pedant He thinks he's in 4chan.

@westman98 how is this tracking compared to the Switch? That’s some numbers considering the holiday season hasn’t kicked in yet.

@Mana_Knight it’s tradition now.

Just here for the Bluey comment...don't mind me.

@axelhander bang on cue. Bingo! Edgetastic.

@N00BiSH with demanding, high reflex competitive games like this, every millisecond counts.

@OpheliaDynamight been saying this for years.

@Filthy what a game.

@Lemontree 5.8m sales in a short period of time is one hell of a big NO to the franchise.

@Paraka I've been watching this play out, the graphics arms race is heading down the path I thought it would. It's also what happens when third parties call the shots.

@axelhander "celebrating mediocrity" - another bingo card classic. Thanks.

@Maxz brilliant! Fun times back then.

@AmplifyMJ it's the same with him in every Japanese charts page...

All those people saying "urgh, looks like a 3-4 hour game", this looks like it has tons of content. And he still didn't reveal everything!

@Lord Last week you said you were not sure that Japan will go nuts for ZA as they didn’t for Arceus...

Pretty amazed the Switch 1 version is doing better myself but that's some big numbers across both formats.

Gordon Ramsey voice: “it’s still effing raw!”

@N00BiSH they dodged a bullet there. Imagine what CutSceneGate would be like in the comments.

I never owned a NES - I opted for a Master System back then - so I have been playing NES games via NSO, it's proven a very handy means for me to dip my toes into the back catalogue.

@PaulEd7 made me chuckle, but yeah any excuse for a bit of outrage round these parts...

@SpaceboyScreams did Egg Shell Hotel Annex get released?

@DangoTown it's bizarre. But yeah I'm not you, your grievances are yours, people who you probably think side with you will most likely hate loads of things you love...not objection more clarification

@DangoTown Oh I know they can, but it’s when you turn your personal opinion into that of a collective thought it doesn’t make sense, for every one of you who feels this way there’s also people who don’t. It’s all down to personal taste. Appreciate the response though. 👍🏻

Wahey! FOMOGate has begun…should be an interesting day or so…😀

@Jedrus_Lilac I reckon most of the people who bought it didn't even know there was an internet backlash.

@topsekret comment #122 is pure bingo card material...fantastic.

@jsty3105 MK bundle as you know it makes sense, works out cheaper for the game that way...

Looking forward to getting one next month!

@michellelynn0976 They're clowns. As long as you're happy all is good. Not gonna let some sneery clown in Alberta tell me what I should enjoy...

@Duncanballs there’s definitely a vibe of “why aren’t you angry about this? You must be a bootlicker!!?!!?!”

You can’t teach nuance to people who have no grasp of nuance. Not everything is black or white.

@Duncanballs the “black cloud” over the Switch 2 I’ve seen in the comments (which bears no relation to real life), seems to come from accounts created around the Switch 2 launch/reveal. Funny that, plus the usual handful of sneerers we’ve always had here.

@DangoTown when you say “we”…who exactly are “we” - could you clarify please? 😀

@michellelynn0976 most accounts set up this year share a very similar agenda. I check when people started on here now to decide whether they’re worth responding to.

@Lord here you go... https://x.com/HMKilla/status/1978632883339223280

@GrailUK I thought you meant between Switch 2 and Switch 1.

@michellelynn0976 he’s only here to sow doubt and concern… 🌧️

@Lord what makes you think so? I saw footage of the queues in Japan on Twitter this morning…looked insane. I’ll see if I can find it.

@OldGamer999 yep we weren’t affected by SeventyDollarGate here in the UK. The amount of hours I got out of that game is ridiculous. Over 300 hours and I still didn’t do everything, I put it away 75% complete.

@jsty3105 yeah but a whole new breed surfaced after the Switch 2 reveal to cast doubt and concern. Most accounts on here set up after that point seem to share one agenda.

@Duncanballs Always the way, when they see products are selling they go below the RRP because they know they can shift more units...Amazon and Argos for example are never victim to any of the Spanish soap operas over prices we see play out in these comment sections, where you can feel commenters losing hair with every post.

@axelhander which billionaire organisation? How old are you son? This edgelord business doesn't suit you. Go outside for once in your life.

@jsty3105 there he is! I know who all the trolls are…

@electrolite77 you remember the Switch script…

“Way too high a price point, I can’t see parents buying it for little Timmy!”

“It will fall off a cliff, Wii U numbers at best. Once the core fans have theirs it will end up in bargain bins…”

“Maybe I was being too cautious, I still predict Gamecube numbers at most.”

“It will never catch up with the NES.”

“It’s a handheld, its numbers should be compared to the 3DS, not consoles!!!”

“The Wii was lightning in a bottle. No way will it catch it.”

Etc etc.

@Galaxy2IsTheGOAT they've still got until the end of March next year (which is the end of their financial year but will still be a few months short of a full year), plus a whole Xmas and Black Friday and post Xmas sale season to sell units, could be interesting.

@GrailUK Here for the naysayers really…saw this posted on Twitter yesterday and thought this will be a fun one in the comments…waiting for “celebrating mediocrity” personally, plus how everyone who paid that price is part of the problem. 😄

@DonnieTACO you said sales ground to a halt a few weeks ago. You also upped the price of the Japanese only model from $330 to $340. These are US sales…

@jsty3105 I can feel his edginess all the way over here in the UK.

This is the messiest comment section I've ever seen on this site and I've been here 10 years. Holy cow.
