Dude's tripping. But its not just him. But as preisdent he should be able to reign in his troops. Every dev at Nintendo (save for Retro) has been given the priveledge to find their inner Picaso, and not bend toward commercial interests. Unreal.

I hope this is just lip service, he can't be that naive.

I really want to see proof of this, rather than you just coming off as a Malstrom mouthpiece. When was the last time a Nintendo dev really went off the rails? Other M, and *maybe* Skyward Sword (though that contained kernels of gloriousness that appear to be cropping up in Link Between Worlds)

Most of Nintendo's recent software has seemed brutally efficient in the best traditions of the Wii games.

that was a bit much

Moderator or no, I tend to call a spade a spade. His lines tend to be straight out of the Malstrom playbook, down to the insistence that anything that deviates from the playbook is a hideous waste of time and money at best, or some unholy abomination more likely. It breeds a persistent negativity almost as bad as the Nintendo haters from the other side.

Your spades sound more like whimpers tbh. And as a mod maybe you should be a bit more even keeled.

In any case, what would you rather a fan be? Someone who sticks their head in the sand and pretend a company they grew to love is making detrimental decisions that continue to prove a detriment to that business? Or speak out and voice constructive criticism? Being a 'hardcore' nintendo fan is worst than a hater or a critic. For obvious reasons.

I am most certainly a fan of Mals, but by no means am I a drone of his. At least not as much a drone of his as you may be of Nintendos.

You seem to be politically minded, so what is said to be the highest form of patriotism?
