I should really just
learn to stop talking.

This is exactly where the conversation was going, and if I didn't at least mention it with the other stuff I was saying I'd have probably made a few people upset.

Anyway I just gpt off work, did nintendo announce anything else or was it mostly zelda and pokemon? I'm ok with just zelda and pokemon cause I want them both more than any other game coming out right now though.

Witcher is the best really, just throw out all that dumb "you are the character" and give him some drat personality and story.

I don't think I could be paid to care about Link's personality or the story of a Zelda game. The latter has never been a strong suit of the franchise.

Only other thing besides Zelda and Pokemon (which they devoted 45 minutes to, leading to much goon angst) was that there's a new Mario Party for 3DS coming out in November.

Aww. Well there is always the nintendo direct! It makes sense for them to hold off on stuff considering that the NX is coming soon and much development must have been placed on that.

Are we assuming that shows up tomorrow?

If so, it'll be no end of people going "this game sucks" for no reason and it'll be both hilarious and sad. Also people acting like Miyamoto ran over their dog.

EDIT: One of these days you'll all regret saying mean things about Miyamoto. Guy won't be around forever.

It's not "no reason," Paper Mario has far from a perfect track record.

One really good game, one pretty good game, one game that could very generously be described as mediocre, and one that's awful.

It's not a bad thing at all, but why take an already established, iconic character that has over 25 years of history and change them completely because some people demand it? Do something fresh, exciting and new - like Bayonetta for example

They have already changed Link in various ways. For example, sometimes he has been a grown man and sometimes he has been a tiny child. Everyone lived.

The implication of "captain of the PC Patrol" and the overall tone of Jonny_Rocket's post is pretty clear; don't be willfully dense.

Because allowing players to select Link's gender is a net positive; Link's gender has never been integral to the story, and allowing players to play as a female character if they so choose is great for being inclusive.

I've seen it.
Perhaps you should clarify whether you'd like Link to be a girl in an upcoming game because you'd think it'd be neat, which I would agree with; or if you think that they should make Link a girl in the next game, in which case I'd ask what would be the point. I'm going to assume you don't honestly think they should put in the extra dev time to focus on making a female variant of Link for BoTW over actually polishing the game and adding gameplay elements, because that's just downright silly.

Nintendo, when they released the Wii U and somehow could not effectively communicate that it was an entirely new console and not an accessory or something for the Wii.
