Line 6 ⟶ 8:
Video game announcements, particularly sequel or casting announcements, can cause [[And the Fandom Rejoiced|a positive uproar among the fans]].

==Other Examples==
* A new ''[[SSX]]'' game? Eh, that's not that impressive. Wait, is that "It's Tricky?" by Run DMC playing? Oh damn!
** Is that Moby? And he has his dreadlocks back? Yes! Oh my God!
Line 28 ⟶ 30:
* Richard Jacques returning to compose ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (video game)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' music (Cue inevitable ''[[Sonic R]]'' reference) in ''[[Sonic and The Black Knight]]'' alongside Jun Senoue but also being joined by '''Tommy Tallarico'''? Freaking sweet! And Crush 40 is recording some songs for it, after not recording any for ''Secret Rings'' or ''[[Sonic Unleashed]]''.
** In an inversion, people were extremely psyched when the first footage of ''[[Sonic Unleashed]]'' was unveiled, showing Sonic blasting through what ended up being the daytime stages at mach speeds, while seeming to combine 2D sidescrolling gameplay with ''Secret Rings''-esque 3D behind-the-back running - a combination many could not fault. [[Internet Backdraft|Then the Werehog showed up...and then Tails. And Amy. And Chip.]]
** Sega's initial refusal to confirm ANY details about ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog 4]]: Episode 1'' (Project Needlemouse) left fans preparing for the worst. Then, finally, after 4 months: [https://web.archive.org/web/20100126073547/http://blogs.sega.com/usa/2010/01/15/project-needlemouse-character-countdown-finale-and-concept-art/ "Today, we are about to break the trend that has continued on for many years. To the thousands of you out there asking for a game where Sonic is the only playable character - rejoice. As of today, your wish has been granted. In Project Needlemouse, there will be no new characters - playable or otherwise. The focus will remain solely on one blue hedgehog."]
** ''[[Sonic Colors]]'' being marketed to kids? Aww man it's gonna stink--Wait, ''how'' many journalists have a good impression of this game? Sonic's [[Jason Griffith|VA]] [[The Other Darrin|being replaced by]] [[Roger Craig Smith|a good voice actor]]? [[Hey, It's That Voice!|The same voice actor who did]] [[Resident Evil|Chris Redfield]] and [[Assassin's Creed|Ezio]]?
*** The idea of Tails speaking was initially terrifying, until it was revealed he no longer sounded like a 5-year-old girl. And as for the new voice of Knuckles...''[[Travis Willingham]]''.
Line 34 ⟶ 36:
*** There was also [[Sonic Adventure 2|CITY ESCAPE]], and ''both'' Sonics get to play through the stage, ''board-riding and all''. '''[[Advancing Boss of Doom|The truck is back.]]''' As Modern Sonic, it has ''friggin' [[Chainsaw Good|chainsaws]]'' and chases you for '''far''' longer than it did in ''Adventure 2'', destroying buildings and ''chasing you sideways across walls''! Even Omochao makes a brief cameo! And to put the cherry on top, Sega contacted [[TNT|Tony Harnell]], the original singer of "Escape from the City", to do a rearrangement of the song for ''Generations''. Take my rings, Sega.
* Many ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'' fans are keen on the idea of a proposed game that would be developed by [[Retro Studios]], known for fan-favorite series revivals ''[[Metroid Prime]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]''. Then news broke of Retro getting their new [[Wii U]] development kit, with a comment of their upcoming game being "a project everyone wants us to do", implying their involvement. But just recently, [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] himself stated in an interview that he was interested in letting Retro take a crack at the series. Cue cries of "MAKE IT HAPPEN!"
* When Valve initially announced that the Heavy of ''[[Team Fortress 2]]'' was getting an upgrade that allowed him to rejuvenate health, the initial reaction was anger over the Heavy becoming too unbalanced. Then they released [https://web.archive.org/web/20100417231607/http://store.steampowered.com/app/5073
** And Lo, [http://www.teamfortress.com/engineerupdate/ It is here.]
** Three words: [http://teamfortress.com/post.php?id=5703 Meet. The. Medic.] At last, it's finally due to be released! And other classes are getting updates in the process!
Line 149 ⟶ 151:
* Ugh, ''[[DJ Hero]]''. Another attempt by Activision to get people to buy plastic par--- wait, [[Daft Punk]] is in the game? And they're making 11 mixes for it? Sold!
** For others, it's Grand Master Flash, DJ Jazzy Jeff ([[Will Smith]]'s old partner) and [[Jay Z]] being in the game.
** For those that play [[Rhythm
** And you can join in with a [[Guitar Hero]] controller. Yes.
* Feep's experience with ''[[Scribblenauts]]'' was the spread of a meme that managed to persuade people into getting it: '''I FUCKING TRAVELED THROUGH TIME AND JUMPED ON A DINOSAUR AND USED IT TO KILL MOTHERFUCKING ROBOT ZOMBIES.'''
Line 347 ⟶ 349:
* ''[[Mushihime-sama]] Futari'' on Xbox 360? Yawn. [[No Export for You|I don't have a Japanese 360]]...wait, it's [[Region Coding|region]] [[Averted Trope|free]]?! brb preordering 10 copies
** ''[[Death Smiles]]'' gets a proper localization? Thank you, Aksys Games!
* ''[[The Elder Scrolls]] V'' is finally coming out? And it's set in [[The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim|Skyrim]]? Okay, sounds promising. Let's just hope its not as buggy as ''[[The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion|Oblivion]]''...[
* ''[[Super Robot Wars]]'' fans have been waiting a long time for this day and it's finally been confirmed: ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]'', ''[[Code Geass Lelouch of the Rebellion]]'' and ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam 00]]'' in ''[[Super Robot Wars Z|The Second Super Robot Wars Z]]''!!! For more kicks, [[Mobile Suit Gundam 00]] and ''[[Gundam Wing|New Mobile Report Gundam Wing]]'' TV series (NOT ''Endless Waltz'' for once!) '''[[Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny|WILL HAVE A CONNECTED STORYLINE]]'''. For ''added'' kicks, [[Dancougar Nova|both]] [[Dancougar|Dancougars]] finally appear in the same title!
** Loads more: ''[[Shin Mazinger Shougeki! Z-hen]]'' and ''[[Dai-Guard]]'', two series fans wished to see in SRW for some time will have their first apperance in the same game!
Line 375 ⟶ 377:
**** Not to mention that one of the levels is taken straight from one of the early Zelda games, top-down viewpoint included!
*** So the Tanooki Suit was nerfed by [[Ruined FOREVER|taking away it's flight and statue abi]]-Oh, new pictures! What do they sho-[http://www.thesixthaxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/luigi.jpg is that Tanooki Statue Luigi]? Hinting at playable Luigi and that maybe the Tanooki Suit will get the statue ability after all?! And a [http://gonintendo.com/?mode=viewstory&id=163208&sid=6a9030ef1a68de198146f563ed9e8883 BOOMERANG BROS SUIT]???!!! All is forgiven Nintendo!!
**** [https://web.archive.org/web/20120205031038/http://ds.ign.com/articles/121/1210817p1.html Playable Luigi is confirmed!] Looks like we'll be getting the statue ability for the Tanooki Suit, too, and [[Street Pass]] bonuses for the Toad Houses as well.
**** A recent video has shown a special gray leaf. It is this item that will allow you to transform into a statue along with the usual Tanooki Mario abilities!
* Part One, because one bullet isn't enough to explain it all: In December 2007, Jagex learned the hard way that sometimes you just shouldn't trifle with the [[Unpleasable Fanbase]]. In an attempt to curtail issues with real world trading, which allegedly was putting the game's economy through the ringer, Jagex removed ''[[Wilderness]]'' PVP and unrestricted trade from ''[[RuneScape]]'', replacing player-killers with nigh-invulnerable [[Demonic Spiders]] that often traveled in packs. Even though efforts made to offer alternatives for the PVP players enjoyed some amount of success, the numbers still stood at 60,000 canceled membership subscriptions in the weeks immediately following the changes. (Although since real world traders often used stolen credit to pay for all transactions - including membership subscriptions - just how many were legitimate subscriptions in the first place is unknown.)
Line 425 ⟶ 427:
* Okay, [[Nitroplus]]. [[Demonbane]] is a good [[Visual Novel]] and all, but you should start getting serious about America...Wait, WHAT!! [[Saya no Uta]]!!! SUMAGA!!! KIKOKUGAI - THE CYBER SLAYER!!! WHO NEEDS BASIC NECESSITIES!! [[Crack is Cheaper|TAKE MY MONEY NOW!!!]]
* Nintendo did a price drop on the ''3DS starting August 12''?!?!?! It can't be that big of a fa-''$80 dollars cheaper totaling'' '''''$170!?!?''''' Fans who bought it aren't amu-the ambassador program will let those who connected to the eShop channel before Aug 11 11:59 EST get '''''10 free games BEFORE the others get it INCLUDING FREE UDPATES AND 10 free GBA games that are ONLY abvailable to those who purchesed the 3DS at the $250 dollar value as a way of saying thanks for our loyalty, totaling up to 20 FREE GAMES!?!?!?!''''' I would say "TAKE MY MONEY NINTENDO!!!", but we got '''''20 FREE GAMES''''' to those who used the Eshop channel before August 11 11:59 PM EST. Nintendo, YOU! WON! THE! GAMING! MARKET! FOREVER!
** [
*** ...and then, out of no-effing-where, the complete list of games is revealed, alongside a - GASP! - ''December 16'' release date! So, so far the revealed titles were ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]'', ''[[Mario Kart|Mario Kart Super Circuit]]'', ''[[Yoshi's Island]]'', ''[[Metroid|Metroid Fusion]]'' and ''[[Wario Ware]]'', but given the oddballs thrown in the NES titles<ref>(''Mario & Yoshi'' and ''NES O.T. Golf'')</ref>, fans were already fearing the worst-- what? ''[[Video Game/The Legend Of Zelda Minish Cap|The Legend Of Zelda Minish Cap]]'', ''[[Fire Emblem]]'', ''[[Wario Land|Wario Land 4]]'', ''[[Kirby|Kirby & The Amazing Mirror]]'' and ''[[F-Zero|F-Zero Maximum Velocity]]'' you say?!? '''[[Crowning Moment of Awesome|WIN.]]'''
* C'mon, Activision. Why did you cancel ''True Crime: Hong Kong''? Especially when it was so close to being finished? Do you really need to focus on online games, as you claimed? *Cut to seven months later* '''SQUARE ENIX BOUGHT OUT THE PUBLISHING RIGHTS?! IT'S ACTUALLY GOING TO SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY?''' It's most likely going to be called something else, because they did not purchase the rights to the name? '''I DON'T CARE. SQUENIX, I LOVE YOU!!'''
Line 444 ⟶ 446:
* Damn, it's been so long since a sequel to the [[Grand Theft Auto]] series had been made- wait, a trailer for Grand Theft Auto V has been announced? (You know something's big when even the announcement of a trailer sprouts interest.)
** Oh joy. ''[[Sarcasm Mode|I can't wait to go back to]] [[Big Applesauce|Liberty City]] aga''-- hold the phone, it's taking place where? ''[[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas|San Andreas]]''!? ''And airplanes have been hinted to return!?'' '''[[Big Yes|YES]]!'''
* ''[[Cartoon Network: Punch Time Explosion]] [[Updated Rerelease|XL]]''? It's probably gonna be as [[So Okay It's Average|mediocre]] as the previous version...Wait, is that [[Ensemble Darkhorse|the Scotsman]]? Aku? ''[[Johnny Bravo]]''? And the original Ben? ''And'' the original voice actors reprising their roles [[The Other Darrin|rather than imitators]] (except [[Mako|Aku]], since [[Author Existence Failure|the original is already resting in peace]])? This might be worth a buy after all.
* ''[[Syndicate]]'' is getting remade [[Genre Shift|as a FPS?]] They're ruining our childhoods! Hey wait, it actually looks and feels like ''Syndicate'', unlike [[X-COM|that other strategy game getting a remake]]? Maybe there's hope!
* 2k games announced something new about their so-called ''[[X-COM]]'' "reboot"? Just let the game die al...A new game?...an RTS/TBS X-COM?...set in the 90'?...MADE BY FIRAXIS!?! The updates being released only make things better, showing Firaxis's faithfulness to the original. Sectoids! Mutons! Developers that love the soldiers being killable and are considering an Ironman mode! Procedurally generated missions!
Line 462 ⟶ 464:
*** [http://www.mariowiki.com/New_Super_Mario_Bros._2 It seems not to be the case;] however, ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' already seems to have something to make up for that, namely another return of Raccoon Mario and an ''August 2012'' release date. After being announced ''just four months earlier''. Wow. The only missing things are Yoshi and a Cape powerup, and then we're in business!
**** A-HEM! [https://web.archive.org/web/20140710202938/http://www.mariowiki.com/File:NSMB2_screen1.jpeg TANOOKI MARIO DIRECTLY FROM THE NES VERSION!!] THAT! IS! ALL!
