Some devs think that working with Microsoft is terrible and some think that it's good. That doesn't mean that one of them is a liar. They just have/had different experiences.

This is not about the general experience, it's about Nintendo's availability. I believe it's black on white, they're available or their not.

Of course it's not black or white.  As someone who deals with company PR it's definitely on a person by person basis.  You might get lucky and find someone that's super easy to get a hold of and always willing to help and then if they leave for a different company the person that replaces them may never return your calls.  You can't just say, "oh 2 companies had a good experience so that means Nintendo is always available".  Even if you could you're going to have to prove first that the two indie devs that you're probably hearing about for the first time today are more believable than Avalanche.  

I can vouch for this though I've been fortunate that only one fo my Golin Harris reps were hard to reach.  Everyone else was quick to respond and great to work with.  Either for review games or setting up interviews.  But that's NoA.   NoE may be more of a pain in the ass for all I know.

Ironicaly though, my staff tried contacting Avalanche in the past.   Never got back to us.
