Very well said.  :)

marketing.
if they marketed all games like they did in mk8...

Launch the next console with Mario Kart and just watch the money coming in

They've launched consoles with Mario and Zelda. Don't you think a Console launching with Metroid is due? ^^

They could release that in a November and release MK in the following May (like the WiiU but minus a year :P)

Lolll if that were to happen, I think every Nintendo fan would wet their panties at least 4 times over!

Agreed. Just like I mentioned on the other thread 3DWorld and DK are unwanted games. People wanted a real succesor for SM64/Sunshine/Galaxy, not 3DLand HD. People wanted an epic Metroid/New IP from Retro, not another 2D DK.

Sales have proved now this.

Perhaps we should get some release dates for those games first? Summer just started: those games could be months out or get pushed back into the fall. No point in releasing commercials for them now.

OT: I agree with everything in the OP. Soundwave, you are my favorite Nintendo critic: you just tell it like it is, and offer your sound opinions on how Nintendo could improve. Nothing more, nothing less.

I beg to differ regarding DK. DK is a game I wanted since the one on Wii was laughably bad. The new one addresses issues of old and adds previous elements of the game that weren't re-added before. It's still the hardest platforming experience this generation hands down. The DK game people want is a full 3D platformer with the Kremlings. 

I'll buy that 3D DK game!

I do, but most of them don't want to play Nintendo games and the few who do don't even live near me.
