Nintendo is completely out of touch with reality.

Maybe I missed some of the rumors but wasn't Nintendo only statement on the matter that they were going to show a "previously announced game"? All this hype about Zelda or any other game was Geof and random people on the internet. From the threads that I saw it wasn't Nintendo who made the fuss about the VGX announcement, but like I said I may have missed some of them

Still they thought it was worth showing up on that show for this and "previously announced game" could mean alot more than Donkey Kong. They should have known that people would start speculating, it was obvious, so you can't strip them of the blame for the internet hype, they could have just said that they're going to show new Donkey Kong stuff and not lead people to believe that it might be something else, the other publishers/developers also said what game they're going to show of and didn't make it such a huge secret.

It could have mean DKC, X, Mario Kart 8, Yarn Yoshi, SMT x FE or Bayonetta 2 (those are the games I remember from the top of my head). Now why people start assuming it was Zelda or new IP? because people like Geoff took this announcement way out of proportion and people fault for it. Nintendo was very clear on what they were going to announce, sure they didn't say exactly what they were going to show, but that doesn't excuse people for building up hype. Nintendo is at fault for many things, but raising people's expections here wasn't one of them, gamers on the internet are the ones to blame.

I warranty you that if Nintendo would have showed anything other than Zelda, Star Fox, Metroid or a new IP, they would still be dissapointed, maybe not as much as right now, but still pissed off that Nintendo didn't showed what they wanted.
