Here's my reasoning for wanting the game to be a few years down the line.
- I'm told the Gamecube ran into serious problems when after 18 months it got a lot of major games within the first two years (Melee, Wind Waker, Animal Crossing, Sunshine, Prime, etc). Having a definiate title known to the future helps aleviate this with the Switch already having the equivilent of Wind Waker and Sunshine out in year 1.
- Metroid is a critical darling but not always the sales best. It would do itself good to have as many people around as possible when it releases.
- With Metroid not being so immediate it requires Nintendo to be creative with filling in until it comes around. Be it a Kid Icarus Uprising esc title, a co-op like X Warriors, or a Arms/Splatoon title it means they can't use Metroid as a mean all end all and have to try something else in the meantime.
The Democratic Nintendo fan....is that a paradox? I'm fond of one of the more conservative companies in the industry, but I vote Liberally and view myself that way 90% of the time?
