nintendo directs rule in the switch 2 era we all gather around the timeline to watch trailers for games that came out six months to five years ago

history repeats with wii u ports in the first few years of the switch 1. except this time, we can already play all switch 1 games on switch 2, so there's nothing interesting at all about new ports to switch 2

Or, three months from now! It's a fascinating timeline that notably excludes "trailer shown for a game that won't release for another 4-5 years" (Metroid 4 the only recent exception I can think of)

i mean, this kinda makes sense, doesn't it? you can't rely on your entire customer base being 30-40 year olds who have been gaming since they were 5 years old you have to be able to sell the console to people who have never touched a video game before

my favourite part (after metroid and kirby) was when they showed a "did i ever tell you the definition of insanity" scene from far cry 3 in a direct full of paid updates, ports and remakes of old games
