| Soleron said: Why DOES Nintendo hold back the release dates for so long? For other companies it's about competitive advantage, but 3D Zelda and Mario don't compete with anything. The only effect of confirmation would be higher Wii sales. And leaving it later hasn't stopped them publicly delaying those games. |
I believe their idea is that the titles will make a bigger splash if they can announce them closer to release date. Hype will build and stay at high levels since the people anticipating the game will know it's very close to being released.
I'm kind of disappointed with this article - Nintendo said absolutely nothing about a Zelda Wii U game. All they said is that they're making 3D Mario and Zelda games that they cannot announce at this time. Who.... didn't know this already?
