| RolStoppable said: Nintendo made no public statements regarding which system's games they plan on releasing going forward. That the SNES is done was an assertion by Natsume. As for this set of games, I wouldn't read anything into it. |
Yeah, I remember now that it was them commenting on the SNES VC and not Nintendo.
So you think it's just a coincidence?
It probably is, and I do believe so as well ... but on the other hand, I think it would be a wise move to promote Takeda's games at this point in time if they were to make him (the only) head of Nintendo at one point.
With Iwata Balloon Fight got a lot of attention, which it would probably never have gotten if he wasn't the head of Nintendo. Don't get me wrong, I like Balloon Fight, and I'm grateful for what Iwata has done in the past, but it isn't exactly Mario or Zelda. But... people got to know Iwata better because of his association to the game, so that he was not only the president anymore but also somebody who knew what it meant to develop games.
Takeda hasn't received the same visibility as a lot of other Nintendo key people have received, although he has always played on important part in the company. By rereleasing some of the games which he worked on in the past now, people may start associating him with these games as well, strenghthening his persona for the outside community.
But that's just my two cents
