So you're saying it would have been nicer of them to release a broken unfinished game? o_O |
Well from what I understand Rayman was pretty much complete and ready to go gold before the announcement was made that it was going multiplatform (which was the only reason it got delayed, so that it wouldn't be a "de facto exclusive" for 6 months or so before the PS360 versions were released.)
And Pikmin 3 was originally a "launch window" title for the Wii U, and for Nintendo to not have the game ready for launch or shortly after when it's been almost a decade since the last Pikmin was released just goes to show they really need to get their priorities straightened out. They can't keep having these long software droughts at the beginning of every generation because it just kills any momentum they might have had, as you can see by the dismal sales.
I mean, look at all the other big developers who constantly meet deadlines and put out AAA title after AAA title every year. Other than Rockstar for example, who will occasionally delay their games because they are just so massive and require tons of testing and polishing before they can be released (like GAV), most 3rd parties have given us yearly or bi-yearly installments of their biggest franchises without much of a hitch, whereas it takes Nintendo years for them to release games that, from a technical perspective, look like they could've been completed in half the time by any competent 3rd party developer.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.
