Nintendo held a livestreamed Treehouse presentation today to show off new gameplay for Paper Mario: The Origami King and to reveal WayFoward’s newest title, Bakugan: Champions of Vestroia.

And of course, tons of Nintendo fans on Twitter were very disappointed with both aspects of the presentation. Hardcore Paper Mario fans who crave that traditional role-playing experience are disheartened that The Origami King isn’t the next Thousand-Year Door, and everyone else was totally taken aback by that Bakugan announcement.

Essentially, people are mad and when people are mad, that’s when the memes come out. Let’s check some of these out, shall we?
