I jumped straight to this article from my seat because I can’t believe what Nintendo just did, this is Zach from Switch for us hit the like button if you like this show, it helps inform a lot, let me know what you think of Nintendo’s big move in the comments below all right, we won’t waste any time a brand new update appeared on Nintendo’s YouTube Info, they announced one of the strangest and rarest things ever.
I’ve seen them do things, but then again, it’s 2022 and they’ve made a lot of changes and updates to the way they handle things, so I guess it’s just the new Nintendo Awanuma getting back on track, announcing that the Zelda delay was actually their April fools joke, that Breath of the Wild 2 has not been delayed, going back to 2022, which I think is great, now there’s a darker side to this equation side, which is their decision to delay and postpone Splatoon 3 instead of spring 2023.
The lineup is already very crowded and will continue to be crowded and I think they really want to make sure that Zelda gets the shine that it needs and since there’s no confirmed launch date for Splatoon 3, pushing it to 2023 I think feels okay, I think feels acceptable and ultimately I think most of us would rather have Zelda this year than Splatoon, so I understand Onuma’s thoughts and I’m glad they were upfront and didn’t let this linger too long, it was just a few days and now we I don’t know if it was an interesting decision or if it was really a bad decision, whether you should tease people by delaying your biggest game and then at I don’t know it’s interesting how they chose to do that but at the end of the day, just thanks to Zelda It sounds like ESA is doing something similar because yesterday they completely cancelled E3 2022, no they really cancelled the digital and physical versions of the show without any physical, without any networking, and many journalists and Twitter users thought it was the end of E3 and now a dead nail in the coffin, but then ESA announced that E3 2023 will return and that will be a reinvigorated showcase celebrating new and exciting articles on gaming and industry innovation, and they confirmed that it will be physically in Los Angeles They confirmed that it will be held again at the Los Angeles Convention Center, which I personally loved, I loved e3 and have many fond memories, like the thought of going to see Bloodborne, seeing wii u for the first time, playing switch for the first time, mario odyssey show, the wild breath show, the pokemon stadium, it was a great show, it was amazing, nothing can replace it, no other show is trying to fill that void, feet are too small, you can’t wear those shoes because e3 is Christmas So I’m glad they’re coming back in 2023, I hope they mean it, they’ve said it a lot before and I hope they can accomplish, now what does that mean for Nintendo, will they cancel their e3 plans, absolutely not, I certainly believe Nintendo will still have a June direct, just like they have year after year, they still have a lot of games, in fact every publisher has their games, no e3, just not a central hub, but those gamers and people still need to announce this year later and what’s coming later, so you can totally expect Nintendo’s e3 direct, it’s just not going to have that kind of branding, it’s just going to be a summer direct or a June direct or a mid-2022 direct, but I still believe it’s going to be mostly focused on their upcoming games 2022 Zelda back in the mix and then looking ahead to 2023 and maybe even beyond sometimes Nintendo likes to tease far ahead of schedule, but don’t worry Nintendo’s plans are still in full effect just not under the esa banner, now I’m waving the flag Now I’m waving the flag for Capcom because not only do they make great games, they make great decisions and they share the joy of success with their employees Capcom has announced a 30% increase in base pay for Japanese employees, that’s no small amount, it’s not what you get at It’s not the 25 cent raise you get in a retail job, it’s a 30 percent raise, and they said after five straight years of record profits, they wanted to give something back to the people who made them five straight years of record profits.
I really applaud Capcom for doing this, we’ve seen a lot of big companies get greedier and hoard more and more stuff after achieving milestone successes, but Capcom is now spreading this stuff and I’d like to see them do this globally, I don’t know why it’s just Japanese employees right now, if it would expand to other regions, but it’s still a good move , they say this will take effect from now on and going forward they will get a 30 promotion, if you want your job to give you 30, let me know in the comments.
