Yes we do. I think the MP4 announcement was important at the time and I still don’t consider it a big mistake from Nintendo. They at least made clear that they were hoping to cater to core audiences with the Switch, which they have done. I do think, though, that Nintendo learned a lesson from this (as well as BOTW2) and they won’t be giving us too many distant looks into the future. |
TotK's announcement in 2019 boosted BotW's sales significantly and extended it's legs beyond what they would have otherwise been. I think that early announcement was a good call. For direct sequels an early announcement can be a good idea.
