OF all the tags to put underneath today's strip, why isn't one of them NINTENDO DIRECT so I can get the joke? Or is it actually on lousy games journalism?

Ignoring the joke or the quality of the comic... Wave Race really needs to come back. One of the few non-battle racing games I actually like was Wave Race 64.
Please, Nintendo? I really need this in my life.

You forgot to put red arrow pointing at nothing, or the red circle around nothing. If it's click bate, go all the way.
Is Hideo Kojima going to be joining Nintendo?
[Blurry picture of a Nintendo Press Conference with a red arrow pointing at something just out of frame.]
Article with two sentences about how Kojima hasn't denied possibly working at Nintendo and Snake having been in smash brothers. Followed my own views on what games he should make/work on while there. Bonus points for Deviant Art pictures of Nintendo characters drawn in Metal Gear style.

OMG! Don't taunt me with the Jet Force Gemini that will never be! T_T
That does raise an interesting question though... DOES Nintendo have the rights to it? I always just assumed it was Rare's IP.

Microsoft cuts deal with Nintendo to allow Nintendo to remake Jet Force Gemini in return for a cross-play NX/Xbox PC release!
Rareware set to develop the remake with Nintendo as head publisher and Microsoft working on cross-play integration between tech!
OT: Hmmm... There's only one solution to all of this... Burn Youtube with flamethrowers and rebuild it from the ground up with Dailymotion and Vimeo's flamethrowers as the heat base...
Other than that, we can always do the House of Cads method of game journalism... *shrugs* Or will that be too much?
The shutting down of positive feedback is what really gets me. Like, does Nintendo have such a low opinion of their games that they think they could be entirely enjoyed through a video to the point of not needing to be played?Caramel Frappe said:
I mean, sure, for things like Professor Layton where it's fairly linear, but that's not the majority by any stretch.
Hey, show some respect! They're crab people! Now yes, they may be vile, disgusting monstrosities, but they are still technically people. Unfortunately.The Wooster said:
I would say it reminds me of the escapist's news, but everything is spelled right and 100% factual in the comic... As for the idea that direct press releases will kill journalism, I say it won't. Only because you're only seeing the gold clad outside of polished turds. A journalist's job is to peel back that perfect veneer and expose the hidden shitty core.
Honestly the fear of direct press releases killing games journalism should tell us what kind of state games journalism is in. If a site is so terrified they'll go out of business from not publishing press releases then they're not even journalists, they're just a third party marketing company.Sarge034 said:

You can't just dangle that tantalizing detail in front of us and not deliver!

That's pretty much what games "journalism" has always been. Of course there's a fear, but it's not a new one, and it's not the state "games journalism" is in so much as the state it's always been in.Austin Manning said:
