The problem with these sort of comments is that Reggie just comes across as someone who feels its ok to sleight what the competition is doing.

Where is the sleight?

He's criticizing their competitors for showing CGI trailers of very early games which will not release for several years. That's the dig he's making.

Okay, and what exactly is the criticism? Did he call other companies lazy? What did he call them?

Had he said something like "vs. what other companies do which is to announce a project that you may not see for five, six years. It’s just not the way we do things because we're professionals" then I would consider it a jab but he did not.

Even though he doesnt say "because we re professionals" like you said, its obviously implied he means nintendo is better than the rest, because they dont do so.  In short its just the same as if he had said "because we re professionals" at the end there.

Also it was obvious it was a jab at sony and TLG.

Its a negative attitude, if your product is better than the rest, all you need to do is point out whats good about it, instead of attacking your competitors products. People will understand you, without haveing to resort to tactics like that.

But Reggie didn't attack any products. He does not make any explicit reference to TLG nor did he say games that have been years in development like TLG are inferior in any way.

All he said was "it’s just not the way we do things."

No one said pull it out of thin air. But if Nintendo cared to restore the franchise to good standing. The creation phase of a console Metroid should of started at the end of M:OM's build. Or when the bad sales started coming in. So at this E3. They would of had a real game already in progress. This is what you should do, when you screw up. Obiously they didn't. They shelved Metroid. And kept passing on ideas. With M:FF. They didn't start that intill last year. And since it's a 3DS title. Less work is needed. Compared to a Wii U game.

All we saw was abandoned artwork pitches. Over these few years. So logically, if Nintendo has nothing now. It won't be for the Wii U, later. Unless they save the Metroid game, when the Wii U is dying? But after the NX reveal is finally done. Which would be retarded. And actually make the Metroid on NX comment be true.

If they're hiding a Metroid game. It's a retarded move. If they aren't, it's a retarded move. Either way they do it. Just like withholding those photos or whatever for Zelda U from this E3. They decided to make a 3DS Metroid game. And people saw what they didn't want. Not to mention, no Samus. They gambled, and it backfired.

So now they're stuck with a game that will be potentionally boycotted and or ignored. When it shouldn't of happend. I mean. The team could try to deal with the hate. By adding in Samus and other expected things to M:FF. And try to sway the haters back. At most I see Samus being shoe horned in by non important character selection choice.

Well, I can't comment on the internal workings of Nintendo but thankfully, Metroid fans have been very vocal about what they want and what they don't want. Feedback is always a good thing.

You've said this multiple times now. Are you trying to be dense or do you honestly not see it? People have explained it to you in previous posts and the mere fact that you keep on asking where the jab is makes me wonder if you have some sort of ulterior motive. The jab is there and it's fairly obvious.

So if there is a jab, what is it saying? Is it calling other companies lazy or is it calling other companies incompetent? Is it calling other companies that announce games that may not come out for five, six years stupid?

So there's been a recent quote attributed to Reggie Fils-Aime which goes as follows:

"Look, we know that the fans want a straight Samus Aran game. We also know that the best way to launch a game like that is to surprise and delight them, to give them a launch date, in an environment like this let them play it vs. what other companies do which is to announce a project that you may not see for five, six years. It’s just not the way we do things. We know the community wants to see a straight-up Metroid game. We know it."

The vgchartz article containing this quote then proceeded to explode in controversy. As of this post, this article has engendered 41 posts. What I don't understand is why. Anyone care to elaborate?

Other than this e3, Nintendo USUALLY touts gaes that are years away- so to say they don t is a straight up lie that he knows can eaily be disproven in this day and age of the interwebs-  They tout games years out when it works for them, when they don t have much coming up soon-  the only reason they did not talk about games 9+ months to several years in the future is due to the fact most of those games will be for a console(s) they have not announced yet

To be fair, Reggie did mention a five to six year time period. If I recall correctly, the next Zelda was announced in early 2013, a little over two years ago.
