I've made my opinion [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/9.945157-Jimmy-Fallon-Debuts-the-Nintendo-Switch#23853778] on the Switch pretty clear so I suppose you can disregard what I have to say based on that buuuuuut...

He said nothing.

Like...literally nothing at all.

"Hey, we listen to our fans and so ask me about this in a year"

There is nothing to be hyped about. This is like...pre-hyping hype. Maybe even pre-hyping pre-hyping hype if Reggie has nothing else to say next year if someone asks him again...

He's basically covering Nintendo's arse, saying a lot without saying anything. Vague promises aren't enough to sell me on believing another Metroid game is coming (granted, we technically got one last year, but I suppose "technically" is the clear word).

But hey, Nintendo, if you want to revive some franchises, you can start with Advance Wars and Golden Sun. Pretty please?

Hell yes, 100% agree with you.

But yeah, Reggie said nothing.
Gonna keep my fingers crossed for a good Metroid game coming out eventually anyway.

Although I am a massively biased Nintendo fanboy, even I can tell that Nintendo has no plans whatsoever for Metroid.

Other M and Federation Force did a really good job of permanently annihilating the franchise.

Who cares what he says?

He just translates shit. I dont know why people think he has as much power as they do.

I'd assume the "HYPE!!!!" bit was sarcastic, but considering the OP I'm sure it was meant as genuine.

This is basically just Reggie saying 'Nintendo Japan told me nothing on the matter, but maybe they will in a year's time.'

HYPE, indeed.

such an optimistic group of people this forum is.
You mean, because we're not jizzing our pants over Reggie confirming not a single thing?

I'm sure if this was about a Playstation game maybe getting announced in a year's time you'd be just as eager calling people out over not being positive or hyped about it, right?

You can't eat optimism. Or in this case play it.

i'm jizzing my pants because i'm excited for Something reggie strongly hinted at that's going to happen now am i?

how lovely to know that on this forum you're either completely pessimistic, or you're "jizzing your pants" when it comes to Nintendo

people were getting hyped over The last guardian for 9 bloody years with having literally zero hints or confirmation of it still coming out. that was perfectly ok for Sony fans to do though. wouldn't matter if i was eager to call people out about it or not, Sony fans would still "jizz their pants" over TLG and that would be perfectly fine regardless of what anyone else thought

Considering the little that got "revealed" and the level of your excitement, that seems like a decent comparison.

It's good when people learn not to get consumed by excitement over industry bigwigs making claims with nothing to show for it. Your complaints about people being completely pessimistic would hold some water if there weren't dozens of cases (and that's me low-balling it) of the gaming industry burning us with false promises.

Not really. They were hyped the first two years after it was announced with a trailer and an actual title, then lost that hype once it was revealed the production was in trouble -- at which point it became a vapor ware joke -- then regained some of that hype once it got a proper in-game trailer at E3 '15 along with a release date.

With this you got nothing except Reggie saying something might happen.
