Iirc, in 2013 Miyamoto explained that Nintendo was struggling to keep up with HD development, it was new to them. The pains that Sony felt last gen, Nintendo is feeling them this gen. With the Wii, Nintendo was able to meet their promised launch dates time and time again. This issue with delays is new and hurts mostly because the games that are delayed are the only handful of games we are expecting, and usually they are AAA. With the NX, this problem will be resolved and I don't think it's something we will need to worry about for much longer. The U is going to be phased out in 2016. |
or disappeared for a very long time and then randomly showed up (Yoshi's Wooly World/SMTxFE). XCX, Mario Maker, Zelda U, Star Fox, among others have all been delayed. Out of those, the only one that has come out is Mario Maker, which is fine. But that's only one game I'm interested in. I got the system originally for XCX which was delayed like twice and is now finally coming out. Nintendo has taught me to never buy their systems until they can start putting out games when they say they'll come out.I'm still going to wait on the NX (if its a home console). They'll probably be slow for the initial years of that system, but [probably] better than their situation now. But I'm going to see how they push the system and titles they offer are. Another thing, which is unrelated to Nintendo's delays, is that NoA is atrocious. NoJ/NoE are light years better in comparison. I really REALLY hope Kimishima can do something about NoA in the near future
