Nintendo has the most detached corporate culture in the world. Nothing in the sphere of public opinion ever makes it through to the people in charge. At least with MS, Sony, etc they know what the concerns are and just refuse to do anything about them. Nintendo isn't even on the same planet as its customers.

They'd probably turn down $100m from someone offering to publish and take all responsibility.

Miiverse says different. Nintendo appears to be taking note of opinions in various communities, that's why we're getting Earthbound in the first place and why after Balloon Fight all of the following VC titles have been 60Hz.

That's partly what makes Miiverse so great. A very good medium for the common man to communicate with the Nintendo big wigs.

For the 60Hz thing, NoA and NoE do actually listen. They're usually powerless though.

Earthbound they took 10+ years to "hear".

Yeah I hope Miiverse gets through to them.
