    I feel like people are Nintendo fans as much as they are fans of a Nintendo-franchise. This means people listen in general when Nintendo announces something.
    Other companies might not have these general company-fans, at best fans of 1-2 specific games or series. So when they announce stuff, far fewer people directly listen. They have to pump up marketing to stand out and make non fans aware of this new title.
    this is stronger with frequent releases (annual franchises) and highly competitive genres. game polish and company image also play a role. Nintendo spend decades now convincing people that their stuff stands out.

    Nintendo lives rent free in the minds of both their biggest fans and also their biggest detractors.
    That is why you have so many fanboys that are begging for any chance to say "That is why I always pirate Nintendo games." or "It is always morally right to pirate Nintendo games." If you dislike the company so much, why even play their games? It just ends up looking like a fanboy that wants to appear edgy or have the moral high ground, virtue signaling, that is the term which comes to mind.

    • @DontKnowDontCare6.9
      @DontKnowDontCare6.9 Месяц назад +9

      People pirate games because they have no money for a luxury item. And they need to justify it by convincing others to do the same. Basic common sense.
      Have you ever seen people with money in real life say to their neighbors they steal cable service? Of course not. They can afford it.

    There is a benefit to releasing teasers early. Look at Sonic the movie. Fans were right to scrutinise. Nintendo won't always get a hit on their hands and will eventually make a bad design choice.

    • @DontKnowDontCare6.9
      @DontKnowDontCare6.9 Месяц назад

      The Sonic movie relied on an obviously fake trailer (and viral marketing) then "changing" it to get the good will of fans.
      Paramount knows how toxic the Sonic fandom is. And they proved it with the fake trailer with ugly Sonic. But by giving them something better and "listening" to the fandom, they had a hit. Despite the movie being a formulaic human and critter buddy movie.

    Well, the easiest answer to this is I like many people love Nintendo games, and a new Nintendo console means more of those. It's also a bit of a reset button for revisiting series if they are dormant for a while, like Metroid skipping the N64 but comeback with the gamecube. So switch 2 gives me hope in seeing Star Fox again, even if it's highly unlikely right now.
