You  report people that may not think the same way you do?   There are no specifics in that post and even if a post did compare the 2- so what?  People and their beleifs (beleifs from all parts of the spectrum)  are villified  and worse every day

Reggie said "we fundamentally beleive"    so that is not implying something new---It is Reggie just being full of BS -- Reggie does not beleive what he is saying-  he does not expeet reasonable or informed people to beleive his trash talk-  but he gives the fan boys a little red meat to latch onto or even beieve if they are predisposed to delusion

I don't agree with the slanting of the points made in the OP. The LoZ tech demo, for instance, is as good as an announcement of LoZ for Wii U, and that's what everyoine at the time was seeing it as "OMG LoZ on Wii U, instant win". If Nintendo hadn't wanted to effectively announce LoZ for Wii U their tech demo should have been of generic characters tpo show off the awesome power of WIi U. But also it's hardly a legit tech demo because LoZ U isn't going to look remotely like the tech demo, so it was giving false impressions. Therefore the tech demo was false advertising as well as misleading people into thinking a LoZ game for Wii U was less than 2 years away.

It's also not just the we don't announce games 4 years in advance thing that made Reggie look like a pouty bad sport. It was his series of statements after e3 that gave a lot of people a poor(er) impression of him being the voice of NoA.

Then on the one hand the OP says he's not taking a dig at the competition, and in later posts padib says he's pointing at the likes of TLG, FFVII and FFXV. That's having a dig at the same time as offering an excuse for the lack of exciting announcements. He should just get his house in order. The lack of exciting announcements is an indictment on Nintendo's development programme. They either wrongly thought that the games they were announcing would get everyone excited (which is a problem in itself) or they are very behind on games that they are trying to get far enough along to be able to announce. I expect they will bring some good news to TGS.

Yeah, I`d pretty much agree with everything said here. Good job padib.

Some issues with this theory.

I agree with Project Robot and Guard, but to be fair, Zelda was planned for 2015 before being delayed. And SMT x FE didn`t show anything on the game, but that it was in the works. The first official in game footage was shown earlier this year, and Japan will be able to play it this Winter, at least...

Still a reveal of the game long before its ready however you butter the bread.

Yeah, that is true, though reggie said 2 different things, which was showing footage of a game with the plan of the game being released within or about a year after it`s shown, and announcing games 5 or 6 years after announcment, so in Reggie`s weird words, he would be techincally correct.

Fils-Aime: “Look, we know that the fans want a straight Samus Aran game. We also know that the best way to launch a game like that is to surprise and delight them, to give them a launch date, in an environment like this let them play it vs. what other companies do which is to announce a project that you may not see for five, six years. It’s just not the way we do things. We know the community wants to see a straight-up Metroid game. We know it.”

His quote is a judgment statement on what other companies do, since they are saying that their way is best.

It's also such an exageration, other companies implies far more than the select few that have titles that were anounced a long tim ago, and 5, 6 years has pretty much been just a few square-enix titles that they tease people with way too soon with not even plans of the games being out that soon. TLG was supposed to be out 2 years later. Had he just said 3,4 years he would have been right about a few more devs but even then most games are faster from anouncement to release than that.  had he said 2,3 years more acurate still, but even then while it would need to be checked I still think most games come out faster. Though several big titles from this years e3 will probably fall in here.

Prime was not at e3 because they have not begun development on it nor hsave approved development of it-  according to the Prime director- and when/if it is released it will be on the NX  = again according to the Prime director

they did not show games for the wii u too far in the future because there are not any (at least any of interest) because they will be releasing on the NX not the wii u-
