It's not on 3DS.Oh god, the announcement was just Minecraft? Lame. How about announcing something that isnt already on every other system already?

Really?! The big announcement is Minecraft?
Nintendo continues to disappoint and depress me. I have been a big fan on Nintendo since I got my original Nintendo in 1987. But they just keep on digging their own hole.
Call me a "Monday Morning Quarterback" or "Forum Jockey", but if I were in charge of Nintendo, putting them back on top would be an easy job.
Not everybody, some predicted they'd release a press statement going in-depth on the NX's specs.Oh wow. Okay. So everybody was right. It's Minecraft ._.
This was not a "big announcement". This was some thing mentioned on a podcast and revealed via Twitter. I continue to be baffled why people were seriously expecting a legitimate megaton through twitter on a random Monday in December.

This announcement is great because:
1) It's actually a very big deal, so it absolutely deserves the label "big announcement"
2) It turns the screws for everyone who worked themselves up into a stupid hypegasm about Retro Studios Dark Matoor Startropics 3: A Fire Emblem Tale Featuring John Halo and Nathan Drake: Exclusively for NX: Which Is 1000 Times More Powerful Than PS4: Also Sony Is Not Good And Nintendo Is The Best.
Seems win-win to me. I was expecting something much smaller like a sale or announcement of an announcement or something.
Wait... Microsoft is publishing Minecraft on the WiiU?

Except that even Nintendo's president has said they aren't abandoning the Wii U yet. And let's face it, Nintendo doesn't typically show something until it's substantially far into development. They don't do the half-baked drip-feed BS nearly as bad as some other devs.Can't understand why people are so shocked....what exactly were you expecting?
It seems every time Nintendo have some sort of announcement people are shouting Mario Galaxy 3 or Metroid Prime 4!!!!
Guys, you're getting no big games for Wii U that hasn't already been announced. It's all NX now. You just have to play the waiting game for six months.

Minecraft amiibo?
Wait minecraft was the announcement?? Holy shit and to think I got snacks for a potential NX press conference full unveil.
Yeah but its Nintendos fault if there's nothing to look forward to, so of course the fan community is hyping every little stuff, hoping it would be something great everyone is waiting for.
Nintendo's official Mexican acount tweeted:
We have a BIG announcement on monday! Stay tuned to our social media.

But what about Thracia 776 coming out on the SNES in 1999!?Every platform owner says that about every platform and yet it's always the same story: there may not be numerically 0 titles for Wii U after the NX launches, but it will not be an ongoing piece of hardware. Use your insight here. NX launches, it does well, people are happy, they're buying software, whatever. And then what, 6 months later when there's a drought, like there will be, Nintendo releases something desireable on their old, failed system just to tell their new, happy customers they made the wrong decision and shouldn't have early adopted? Of course not.
Here's the platform transitions from the Iwata era onwards--
N64 titles released after the GameCube by Nintendo:
...
GameCube titles released after the Wii by Nintendo:
Twilight Princess (also released on Wii)
Wii titles released after the Wii U by Nintendo:
...
The counterexample in handhelds is that the GBA got a year of support after the DS. Here's why that's unlikely today. First, because software risks more now than it did then so it's more and more important not to kneecap it by releasing on old hardware. Second, because software now is written using middleware and thus far easier to port and less hardware-specific. Third, because the GBA was a success and the DS cratered at launch.
I really don't believe anyone can take seriously the idea that the Wii U will have major support post-NX launch.
No it wasn't.Did you even read the OP? There has been chatter of a big announcement for the past couple of days.
Something legitimate was expected because that was the way it has been teased.

its easy to see why Nintendo doesn't like their employees going on podcasts....
If it was for GAF, no employee would talk about anything...or show anything...or wear anything.its easy to see why Nintendo doesn't like their employees going on podcasts....
Great news. Now just announce Tetris and I think the Wii U could really take off.
It's probably nothing.
I feel like folks poo-pooing this don't pay attention to NPD threads and as such don't notice how Minecraft has been in the top 10 forever.
Because it's on every platform already besides Wii U and 3DS. People were expecting something new. Minecraft hasn't exactly been a huge success on platforms like the Vita, so it's not like it'll really make tons of waves on the Wii U either.
