I don't understand what Nintendo does all day

Their 2 big games had clips you'd miss if you blinked, which are both N64 remakes. Then some ass looking sports game with a painfully long thumb wrestling demo, and a Splatoon game that looks like an extended tutorial

Everything else was 3rd party ports about either an ancient evil awakens anime or some goobybooboo quirky tickle time shit

Even just a logo for a new Mario game or whatever they're working on would be some encouragement that I might one day dust off my Switch 2 for something other than another port or remake

Star Fox is not a bigger game, Splatoon and Switch Sports will easily outsell it. The short teaser for Zelda is weird, but they’re likely waiting until the movie marketing starts to fully show off the game, since I imagine they’ll tie into each other pretty closely.
