What actually makes a year successful for Nintendo: massive sales or fan perception?
In this clip from Nintendo Pow Block, Edward Varnell and Corey Dirrig discuss how gamers often define Nintendo’s success differently from actual sales performance.
The conversation explores why Nintendo’s 2019 lineup was so dominant, how millions of game sales can still be dismissed online, and why fan expectations around the Nintendo Switch 2 era may be impossible to satisfy completely.

Nintendo fans are starting to wonder if the company is changing how it reveals games.
In this Nintendo Pow Block clip, Eddie V. and Corey Dirrig discuss Nintendo’s strategy of controlling announcements through surprise reveals, the Nintendo Today app, and smaller news drops instead of relying only on massive Nintendo Direct presentations.
They explain why Nintendo may be trying to avoid leaks, keep announcements fresh, and create excitement year-round while still saving bigger showcases for major first-party games and partner reveals.
