not to be pretentious but yall should really read this… C.H.A.T. (Come Here for All Talk)

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.

honestly it just feels like people are looking for things to hate on nintendo about. the price-related things people are complaining about are all either industry-standard practices that nintendo is just now adopting or reactions to the catastrophically worse economic state of the world compared to pre-covid times. people are mad at nintendo for charging $80 for games that would've been $60 in 2017 but they don't realize that this is literally just the cost of inflation over that time:

and this isn't even factoring in the tariffs, or japan's demographic crisis, or the global cost-of-living increases, or any of the other factors that make it more expensive to mass-produce and ship games and less likely for people to purchase them. things are really fucked up right now, for everyone, and loath as i am to defend a large corporation, nintendo is not to blame for this. they are not "the new ea". people are just mad because they don't realize how bad the economic situation is as a whole, or because they're haters
