I think that the post-apocalytic fuedal US setting might have NoA spooked. Doesn't help that the protagonist is a former terrorist agent. Nintendo never got the memo that controversy sells video games.
A little GTA-style negative press might help this game eek over 500k lifetime WW.
EDIT:
| Aielyn said: I'm betting that Nintendo thought that it would be drowned out by all the other shooters, etc, if they showed it off at E3, and anything they showed of it would just get compared to XBO and PS4 titles. If I'm right, there'll be a Nintendo Direct in a few weeks dedicated to it, where they can show it off properly and keep all attention on the game. |
I hope you're right.
The graphics still look a little last-gen, but the game has been polished up pretty nicely since last year and I'm happy with the visuals. The multiplayer looks frentic, fun, and varied. I really hope we get to play this game soon. It would be a great way for NoA to break up the May 29th - Sept 11th game drought between "Splatoon" and "Mario Maker".
