Once upon a time (on my birthday in 2008, actually. August 26th), Nintendo made a rather innocent comment about how core games take 2-3 years to develop. The right honorable Mr. James Ransom-Wiley of Joystiq, in his infinite wisdom, spun that into this:
Dear Core: Wait 2-3 years (Love, Nintendo)

Nintendo has affixed a timeline to the vague, yet sincere promise that games based on the company's "core" franchises are in development. "We still have developers working on popular core gaming franchises but we need longer to complete these games, approximately two to three years," Nintendo stated in the October issue of Edge, as reported by Eurogamer. "These games are not ready to launch in early 2009 but are being worked on by all development teams." So sit back, twiddle some other thumbsticks, and let those other folk navigate the slopes for a while. Your turn's a comin'.
Which some commenters of course immediately corrected him on, and i continued to bring it up throughout the rest of that year on joystiq, reminding them that they should be ashamed to have associated with it, but of course nothing ever happened. He even got promoted.
