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?

Their best move, in that case, would be to wait to have the direct until they know when it's coming out.

...but why? what is wrong with keeping hype up and keeping people excited for Smash Bros? Why do we need an exact date to be able to enjoy seeing new characters and features of the game? I honestly don't understand this mentality. Its like people are thinking only "when will Wii U start selling better" instead of thinking about how fun Smash is going to be. Why would anyone think this is a good way to look at things? If Nintendo shows some cool newcomers and stages, I will be happy...thats what it takes for me. Isn't that the way it should be? Should people be more excited about what the game actually holds than some number that has zero effect on their overall enjoyment of that game? I don't understand! Please walk me through your thought process, it neither makes sense logically nor emotionally to me...
