Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

Fuck Nintendo

[–] carotte@lemmy.blahaj.zone 18 points 1 day ago (7 children)

even if you’re a nintendo fan, you don’t have to tune in to 1 hour of advertisements, you know

i promise, once it’s over you’ll find out about all announcements you care about in other ways

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 1 points 14 hours ago

Putting it on while doing something is fine

You don't need to tell people what to watch

[–] Carighan@piefed.world 2 points 1 day ago

Yeah but while it ain't for me at all (I prefer written news), I know a lot of people do enjoy this format.

[–] missingno@fedia.io 9 points 1 day ago

Watching new trailers is fun.

[–] arudesalad@piefed.ca 6 points 1 day ago

I don't understand why people have issues with shows like this, it's not like ads on annoying news websites, people want to watch them, I'm not watching but I think it's quite exciting waiting for a trailer you want to see (silksong for example) compared to seeing it in a news article afterwards.

Screw that—that 30 minute premiere for Kirby Air Riders was pure bliss. If it’s a game I love, I want all the detes I can get.

This is the same fanbase that dropped $500 for a slightly better Nintendo Switch, there's no reasoning with them.

[–] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 2 points 20 hours ago

This is a company that will sue you if you even watch this press release incorrectly, but they're still coming at the bit

[–] SteakSneak@retrolemmy.com 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Did Nintendo directs used to be better? Was it iwatas touch? Am I just nostalgic?

[–] carotte@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 day ago

nintendo directs were always advertisements, it’s kinda their goal: to advertise to you upcoming nintendo products

I guess Iwata and Reggie made them more pleasant to watch, but they were still ads

[–] frank@sopuli.xyz 25 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Silksong news, probably??

Oh wait, autopilot.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm hoping for new Zelda or Mario news. Very excited.

[–] cattywampas@midwest.social 3 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Seems too soon to be announcing a 3D Mario or Zelda for holiday release, but I could see them announcing something for spring release in hopes of boosting holiday sales.

Tbh I think TOTK and BOTW have enough legs, especially with the Switch 2 releases, and I suspect the next Zelda will take some time because it'll be a much different installment than the last two. But goddamn if I'm not ready for a new 3D Mario.

[–] arudesalad@piefed.ca 1 points 1 day ago

Wasn't a lot of the usual names from the 3d mario studio's last game (dk) missing from the credits? I heard someone say it's probably because they were working on a 3d mario in parallel... hopefully

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago

I'm ready for any news regarding anything Mario or Zelda, no matter the release date. 😊

[–] caut_R@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Others: Hopefully a new Mario or Zelda game, that‘d be so hype!

Me: Hopefully Switch 2 updates for all Xenoblades, that‘d be so hype!

(And Fire Emblem please lol)

[–] evening_push579@feddit.nu 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Same! Xeno 2 needs some love given how it suffered a bit from lack of resources and time to tune it when it released. And X needs that performance patch.

[–] caut_R@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

All of them could do with native res and 60 fps, I hope that‘s not something that needs serious engineering power…

[–] cattywampas@midwest.social 2 points 1 day ago

I just want more farming sims.
