Can you imagine a world where things at Nintendo got so bad that they had to tweet "We are still going to make new Mario games".

Totally normal tweet! Things are Fine!

Also "We have epic stories to tell" meanwhile every Halo game 343i has basically erased the previous plot threads from the game before it

Xbox really needs to get their shit together. They pretty much only have 2 studios putting things out that don’t have giant asterisks around it.

Well they had to respond to that article that said they weren’t making Halo anymore and overseeing development. Like what was that?

I mean, if they made a tweet that said 'We're still making Star Fox games' or 'We acknowledge that F-Zero, Earthbound, etc. exist' would be nice, but eh.

Feels like that meme with the dog in the burning house.

EDIT 'This is fine'

I think if an unsubstantiated lie spread like wildfire about Mario then yeah I think Nintendo would have something to say about it

To be fair, nobody was reporting on rumours that Nintendo was no longer making Mario games and that a different developer would be doing them from now on. These rumours are clearly big news, so 343 has to say fucking something.

Either they say nothing - which people will take to mean that the rumours are true - or they deny it - which apparently people will still say is weird and thus also confirm that it's true. Fucking somehow.

That's not entirely the same thing. Not all Mario games are even developed by the same studio

It would only be comparable if Microsoft as a whole confirmed they were continuing to make Halo. Halo being made by a different developer under Microsoft wouldn't be any different from how Mario is already handled

If shit hit the fan with Nintendo, they could break the glass on any one of these boxes to save themselves:

  • Pokémon MMO

  • Smash Bros Melee HD Remaster

  • Zelda: Ocarina of Time - Remake

Not defending 343 but isn’t this just because of the unconfirmed rumor that people spread around. I mean no one’s going around starting rumors of Nintendo finding new developers for Mario that are hitting the major games news outlets or anything.

Did they really miss the part where everyone was relived when we thought 343 was off the project?

They did this for metroid.

This feels like when they said a few months ago “Henry Cavill is back as Superman.” Things can change quickly

Oh man, what a giant shitshow that was. It was only like two weeks or something between the announcement and then "actually he's not" right?
