even (especially) if these games are planned for release in America, this is still a major screw-up in terms of public relations. A simple Yes or No would have done wonders to appease and inform the fans. They would either have something to look forward to, or get over their disappointment and move on.. Instead, Reggie has been quoted saying there are 'amazing Wii games' we don't know about yet right around the corner. He has done this more than once this year alone, and in each occasion nothing came out of it... For many people E3 was going to be the last straw, and that's understandable. Nobody expects games to materialize from thin air, and fans - despite their occasional bickering - know just as well as anybody that quality takes time. In that respect, even something like Iwata's announcement of Smash Bros., while disappointing to many, was at least made in earnest and with good intentions, and after the dust settled on E3 could be appreciated as such. But when Reggie says: "there are games coming before E3" when nothing could be further from the truth, somebody owes an explanation. Was there a game that saw unexpected delays? If so, tell us... Maybe something happened related to the earthquake in Japan? Fine, we're all human, we'll understand.. But throwing out baseless statements only to pretend they never happened later down the line is the sort of thing I'd expect from Sony during their darker hours, and even they know to expect a ton of crap for those kinds of turnarounds. |
I definitely agree with you. The way this entire issue has been handled by the NoA suits leaves a lot to be desired. It's not like there's a full schedule of Wii games next year, so why not give us something to look forward to if the games are, in fact, scheduled to be released? It seems like they think they can take the fans for granted since they're an obvious minority. They'd never do this for a bigger title.
