Is anyone else getting annoyed with how nintendo are handling the information for their big games?
I only just realised it myself but nintendo are spoiling so much of the games it's not even funny. I realised it with pokemon sun and moon, where they told us pretty much every new pokemon for gen 7, it helped decide who you were having before the game came out but really every pokemon? No exploring to find out what's new ourselves? I realised it next with arms and splatoon 2. New videos for these games were happening all the time it seems. Where you could name off most of the content in arms by just watching these videos. And you could name all the new stuff in Splatoon 2. I somewhat understand this with arms being a new ip and all, it needs to get people's attention and let people know they are getting a lot of content, but not being able to experiment much with new stuff is silly. And they had to make sure people knew splatoon 2 was not just a port. But I remember seeing a lot of information, we didn't have to be shown everything new for us to tell it's not a port. Now we have super Mario odyssey. Man, I'm really looking forward to this game, like most people are, but I realised something. Am I experiencing this game for myself? We have seen a lot of videos on this and so much information. We know of about 7 kingdoms, and I'm a bit worried that the next trailer will say something like "8+ kingdoms to explore" but in reality it's going to be 9, and they sound like it's more but in most cases whey they advertise "over 100+" it's 101. And seeing as we know most of the kingdoms from trailers, are we really exploring this for ourselves? I'm not going in blind like I used to when I was a child, is that magic going to disappears because I know so much on it? And xenoblade chronicles 2, we got a 9 minute trailer thing, telling us all the guilds and islands we are going to, there goes that exploring aswell. And we probably will get more information on both of these before they come out.
I know people will say "just don't watch it" but it's hard to when you want to see trailers just to get a little snippet but the thumbnails alone spoil things. And I don't want to miss out on the conversations going on because I didn't see the 30+ minute demo for Mario odyssey. A 30 second trailer is fine. A 5 minute information showcase trailer thing is not.
Just a shame for me when I think about it. But what do you all think if you read all of my book?
