walopoh.bsky.social•4 days ago

Seems like it was a clear mistake, and besides Nintendo likes to take turns marketing and releasing games and right now that game of the moment is DKB. So I doubt they’d want to steal that game’s thunder right before release https://bsky.app/profile/wario64.bsky.social/post/3lryo3mungo2s

Is there any good way to play the first 3 these days?

ayotocorp.bsky.social•4 days ago

Could you imagine if they drop it like a week before DK?

fehnnis.bsky.social•4 days ago

Mistakes happen....

chexmaster.bsky.social•4 days ago

Hey pat how you feel about new neightreign boss being purple difficulty meaning there going to be a gold or orange version as well

jarodgriswold.bsky.social•4 days ago

Ain't no way

timpoultney.bsky.social•4 days ago

It's equally likely the guys who put it up didn't put the right one up and/or didn't give a fuck.

And if it's London they might've been drunk or illiterate.

thegaygamer.bsky.social•4 days ago

I mean, I know the game isn't going to sell all that well in Japan, but I would hope Nintendo has high enough expectations for it in the west??

jazzyfuture.bsky.social•4 days ago

Goddammit I joked a bit ago that Team Cherry was gonna announce that Silksong was out for a week and people didn't notice but Nintendo's gonna do that with Prime 4

viewtifulyoshi.bsky.social•4 days ago

Look, I know we like to joke that Nintendo doesn’t care about Metroid, but ain’t no way Ninty would shadow drop one of the most anticipated games between Mario Kart World and DK Bananza. I will eat my hat if MP4 comes out before Aug 1.

ramlethal-buster.bsky.social•4 days ago

I mean… Mario Kart has a forever tail, and most people probably got it cheaper with their Switch 2, and DK doesn’t come out for a month. They could drop it next week and have 3 weeks between both

viewtifulyoshi.bsky.social•4 days ago

Why release it now, a shadow drop no less, when they have a month without any first party titles later this year? Shadow drops aren’t nearly as advantageous to console games than PC games.

ramlethal-buster.bsky.social•4 days ago

Oh yeah a shadow drop would definitely be an odd choice no doubt, but releasing it now does make sense given how few launch titles there are. The only first party one that’s not just an upgrade is Mario Kart. Nintendo needs to bolster the roster some more

viewtifulyoshi.bsky.social•4 days ago

Nintendo doesn’t need to sell every Switch 2 immediately. If Nintendo released all their games at once, then some would overshadow others. Heck, how much have you heard of the third party exclusives?

It’s not a race. Let each title shine on their own. That was their strategy last gen and it worked.

fatburtreynolds.bsky.social•4 days ago

Pat, don’t you hate Metroid tho?

sniffy066.bsky.social•4 days ago

Can they do it now I just started my weekend

jinoru.bsky.social•4 days ago

waaat

pktbearillustrator.bsky.social•4 days ago

I really hope this isn't true. Cause that means I'll probably be getting a Switch 2 pretty soon.

...And I recently built a new gaming rig too. T_T

skullgreyman.bsky.social•4 days ago

Nah that Out Now's a photoshop by the look of it

jayedwrites.bsky.social•4 days ago

I have to think this is fake.

It’s the only shot of the ad I’ve seen, and thousands of folks go through the underground in a day.

No way we’d only have the one photo.

hayabusazeroz.bsky.social•4 days ago

Seems like a legit mistake

They wouldn’t dare, not after all this time, not RIGHT BEFORE BANANZA

survive200.bsky.social•4 days ago

Will this be Nintendo biggest shadow drop if this is true because I will be flabbergasted if that happens

ytmnd.bsky.social•4 days ago

I bought a switch 1 for this game.

scriptador.bsky.social•4 days ago

...so any news on a Switch 2 emulator yet?

totesjakeman.bsky.social•4 days ago

Bruh im still trying find a switch 2 and they trying to shadow drop... fml

mechtroid.bsky.social•4 days ago

I'm gonna be pissed if they do. I specifically DIDN'T grab a Switch 2 because they hadn't announced MP4's release date yet!

sadnehs.bsky.social•4 days ago

they are very available if you have the funds.

Im not getting a Switch 2 but am going back and forth on whether I get it on Switch 1 or not at all.

mechtroid.bsky.social•4 days ago

Normally I wouldn't bat an eye at grabbing the version for my switch 1, but as a PC gamer through and through you tell me I can use MOUSE CONTROLS and you immediately have my undivided attention.
