Why? You obviously aren't interested in it or what Nintendo has to offer.

The presentation was always here to hype people who were already interested.

So they just showed new powers and stuff, that's fine and sure I'm a bit frustrated they haven't showed more, but I also want to discover the game by myself and I know I'm frustrated because I just want to play the game right now.

If they show everything, you would have complained anyway and said that the presentation spoiled everything and you can't enjoy the game because of it.
And really, it's strange to feel the need to keep putting your defeat into words in here. If they don't show anything ? Well it's just a DLC, it's too expensive, you won't buy it. If they show too much ? Still a defeat.
It's a battle you can't win unless you don't fight, you just need to scroll back, hit previous and seek something else to react to. But no, some keep doing it, multiple times even ....

ed around a game and not actually coming with said game is still ridiculous to me and I wish Nintendo would stop doing that

Some years ago Sega released a Sonic Mania special edition... that didn't have the game, just a giant sonic toy.

What are you talking about? The Sonic Mania special edition with the Sonic standing on a Genesis statue? That came with the game. I bought it. Haven't heard of a single Sonic special edition not coming with the game.

I found this to be a far more convincing promotion of the game than previous entries. I am genuinely interested at this point.

If by that you meant a download code? Sure.

But that's not my definition of coming with the game.

You do realize Sonic Mania was a digital-only release before Plus came out, right? There was no "game" (as per your definition) to give because one didn't exist! LMAO

Nintendo had also been giving digital versions of games in their special edition bundles since the 3DS/Wii U, but that's worse here because those games existed physically. Sonic Mania did not.

they literally anounced the game has gone gold hours ago you realy think that they managed to print it out all the copies worldwide?

I think if Nintendo wanted to stop the games from leaking early, instead of sending reviewers an easily dumpable cartridge they should send them a whole unhackable switch, with the game preinstalled. This way if the switch gets tampered with, they'll likely break their NDA or whatever and Nintendo will cut ties with them.

It's implied that the Switch would be returned to Nintendo, so chipping the Switch will have them dropped from future reviews. Sorry if that was unclear.

Tecnically, what you have suggested is possible. Reviewers should register to receive the aforementioned switch and, probably, paid the fees of delivering outside EEUU and Japan. The downside would be that lending Switch consoles entails more risks so less reviewers would be eligible to participate. Besides, just the big N can afford sending consoles like that (and defeats the purpose of download codes).

"If you are unsure, put the adventure on random isolated islands", Eiji Aonuma credo.

Was only a half fail on WW because novelty.
Was a huge fail on SS, because people have taste.

I wonder what will be the outcome here.

Unlike Takashi Tezuka, the real father of LoZ and SMB, Eiji Aonuma is a hack, not even a gamer to begin with, but "protégé" by Miyamoto. Now, the producer of those open world LoZ is the "protégé" of Aonuma.

I would gladly give my money to tendo if only, you know, 80€ drifting joycons...Twice.
Steam Deck is still way more affordable

Honestly Nintendo are already pretty selective about who they send pre-launch codes to nowadays. This kind of thing really isn't necessary. Your leaks more often than not will come from a store breaking street date.

At this point Nintendo knows the games will be leaked, and take what legal measures they can.

They could give unique IDs to the copies they send for review so they would know exactly who leaked the game first but they don't do that..

Heck how hard is to replace the game icon in the Switch to add "Review Copy" is huge big letters?

That would definitely put off people with OCD, which are plentiful in the homebrew community. What's the point in early leaks if they have the icons all wrong?

You can easily swap the images from a dumped game.
