with the dynamic nature of release dates (especially from Nintendo as you pointed out yet somehow still seemed to overlook), it pretty much does. Nintendo could make a guess now and say what day they think the game will be coming and then move it back a couple times, each time pissing people off, or they could just say the region when the game will be done and announce a more specific date when we get closer to release and not piss people off. 

PS: There are a lot of factors that go into making a game, especially one as polished and content filled as the stuff Sakurai makes. Add onto that the fatigued condition of Sakurai himself and there are a lot of wild cards when it comes to the specific date. 

The 'dynamic nature of release dates" isn't like a sudden blizzard or something that just happens. Nintendo's chronic problem with it IS what I'm complaining about.

Like I said, there are a lot more Wild Cards in game development than you are acknowledging...isn't that all the more reason to announce a release window instead of a release date and avoid pissing people off?

EDIT: @ the guy above me: Its funny that some people get all hot under the collar for release dates. I actually prefer seeing the features of a game, moreso than seeing a date. ;)
