Nintendo can and has sat on many games for quite a while. This is repeated so much but does anybody really know for sure? The only game that comes to my mind is BotW, and even that isn't even 100% sure as there had been rumors about a delay post march 3rd 17. I think somebody claimed the voiceovers and translationen demanded a push, it was obviously false. The quintessence is: You can never believe anything from these attention whores. So, I am asking, which games had really been finished but halted back? I'd really like to know. |
NSMBUDX. The title screen even says 2018. And Xenoblade Chronicles 3 obviously. They wanted to release it in September, many months after it's done. Two examples already. Why wouldn't there be more? |
Eh, I don't know. Let's be realistic: Scheduling a release date is part of the business and has always been, not only for Nintendo but for every publisher. Yet I don't see that certain claim for anybody else than Nintendo. Whatever, I guess. Perhaps I'm making a mountain out of a molehole here but this annoys me much more than it should do and I don't know why.

Possible explanations: They have no idea about the game's direction. Retro studios just doesn't want to do another DK game. No other team inside Nintendo wants to do a DK game. They believe DKCTF is good enough as the Switch representative of the franchise. The teams are rather focussing on games they have closer to their hearts. DK became fat from too many bananas. In game development, you need to have a vision first, then create the concept around that, then assemble the manpower around that. My best take is that nobody came up with a vision for a new DK game. If you forced a new game without a focused direction you'd end up with a haf-assed product that fails to meet expectations and damages the franchise. I'd rather not want to have half-assed games and instead accept no game at all, but that's just my fries threwn across the table. |
But there are many directions Donkey Kong can be taken in, and there's demand for a Crash Bandicoot N Sane Trilogy-esque remaster of the original DKC trilogy. |
Alright then, go ahead and make a pitch.
