backlash is reasonable, not all backlash is reasonable. even what you list some of those responces are reasonable.Also note some of them are coming from both fanbases his statements have pissed off. Some of the responces have even more hyperbole than his statments but not all of them. Even calling for him to go isn't really unreasonable if taking into context the responces that his statements have made, though I'm sure not always stated in a reasonable way.

Even the downvoting isn't unreasonable. Some people say flat out he's right. I disagree because of the hyperbole as well as how most companies anounce most games in a similar time to Nintendo, yes there are exceptions but Nintendo has them as well. Not all though but sometimes it's not what's said it's how it's said that get's the downvotes.

I understand that some people are upset and that's to be expected. So yes backlash can be reasonable. I just don't think people went about it properly, and the article wasn't a place that offered much reasonability. I also think people have of late been finding occasions to bash Nintendo because Nintendo bashing has been tolerated imho. That was what prompted me to post these threads in the first place, as a complaint and criticism of the community. If people complained that Nintendo had nothing to show for a good 2-3 years, I would just agree with them. That's really not what happened. People instead way overreacted that Reggie was taking shots and being a hypocrite. Not true at all imho.

Like I said, Nintendo doesn't really have these exceptions unless fringe cases are brought up. (spaceworld 2000, mario 128, project giant robot, project guard) There is 1 good example and it's SMTxFE.

Most people who got downvoted said that he was right and offered why, here is a good example: "Uh, Zelda's a pretty weird case. It really wasn't officially "announced," because it didn't have to be, because everyone already knew they were making a new Zelda game. They are always making a new Zelda game. But they didn't show it until 2014...". It was downvoted 11 times, that is not fair at all.

Another example is my post which was "He's obviously talking about e3, and he's mostly right. Nintendo don't show games that are very far, except when it comes to Zelda. That's the only exception. All others are at most 2 years away." Downvoted 18 times. And I was being generous. A guy then replies to me saying "So basically they have no big titles to show within the next 2 years your saying? And by then, Nintendo will drop support for this console anyway... so next big titles will be released for NX? no reason to expect any new big games for the Wii U?" Thinking it could serve as a good retort. I basically told him he was right "Yes, that is correct." I still got downvoted. I said he was right because I wasn't being biased, I was willing to admit that Nintendo had nothing to show.


but was he mostly right? 5,6 years isn't motly right for anything. Not for any companies e3 show, not for any companies history. It's mostly wrong. TLG and FFXV don't make him mostly right. Most companies release most there games within a window not very different from nintendos windows. Some noticable exceptions but some are comparable to the zelda teaser.  Peopel don't agree with saying an exageration is right, or mostly right.
