Honestly I'm kind of getting sick of online doom posting, and today's nintendo direct just solidified it for me. Like, not all of what was announced caught me eye of course, but I am looking forward to a lot of the Mario stuff, Tomodachi life and plza! However, wherever I go online, impressions are. ... less than welcoming. Of course, it's not like I'm trying to defend all the anti-consumerist stuff, it's bad that's for sure. But at the same time, at least for me, it's not the end of the world or anything like that. I'm still plenty excited in spite of the Kalos mega starters being a ranked match reward only. But everywhere I go, I just see pure negativity. So many people who claim Nintendo has morphed into the next ea, who say their hype for the game has been disintegrated. I know those people have their reasons and all, but I can't help myself from feeling bad about it. I just wanna find people to share some healthy hype for an upcoming release, at least one more time...
TLDR; Still hype for the direct's announcements, but upset at all the online negativity.
