I don't get why retro needs more time with DK:TF even after 3 friggen years of working on it!

I seriously doubt it's been in development for much longer than a year and a half even. I think they were working on something else, but something happened and the decision was made to make a new DKC for time purposes.

makes sense and I hop that, that is what happened

I think they should go for it. Zelda trailer. Do it. Get the applause, get people excited about the system and get them in stores buying the console with Mario 3D World. Show Bayonetta 2 and Smash Bros too.

Waiting until E3 ... honestly I'm not sure if the system has that much time to waste. The next 6 months are absolutely make or break, Nintendo must generate enthusiasm now, they have already wasted almost an entire year. It's time to draw the line in the sand and fight for this platform.

Sure it does mr. doom n gloom! The holiday momentum should be maintained thanks to DKCTF up until MK8 comes out, and in between that there's bound to be other game release's and game announcements to keep interest.

Personally I think Nintendo needs to erase this lazy attitude they have with regards to marketing their products. The attitude is basically "we do the absolute minimum amount of work we can and just hope things go well for us". Name me one singular benefit that's ever come from it.

This is a tough business. Oddly enough I can't think of anything that sums it up better than that Britney Spears song (lol) "you better work, b*tch".

Fortunately I think Nintendo's getting an eye opener from the incredible enthusiasm around the PS4 and X1 launches and realizing they have to engage in these types of events or they are going to have virtually no mindshare with consumers other than Nintendo fanatics. Which just isn't good enough.

I'm pleased that they are engaging with Spike/Gametrailers. Nintendo maybe one year ago doesn't even bother to do this and figures a Nintendo Direct is good enough (Nintendo Direct honestly IMO is the worst type of marketing ... it's just preaching to the same little choir of fans).

Tl;dr, Nintendo's marketing sucks. I think we all got that lol.

If Nintendo were smart they would unveil a dark Zelda with amazing graphics, in the vein of the 2011 tech demo, and in a single stroke win back hundreds of thousands of core gamers.

But that would require common sense and a grasp of their audience, which Nintendo doesn't seem to have these days.

It's not just marketing, it's more of a company wide attitude. Enough of the "we're Nintendo, we would market, but we're a special snowflake just take our word for it, we've got some great stuff coming. We're going to market without marketing", lol.

It's just stupid and I think it's starting to sink in even at NOA that they can't do that any more.

There has to be some "fight" from the company, right now it's like they just let MS and Sony push them around all the time. I mean it's fine if you want to be different, but being a bunch of passive wusses that just make excuses at every public event is tired. Grow a backbone, have some pride in your product and make some noise about it.

If Microsoft had even one game as good as Super Mario 3D World this year they would yelling about it from every rooftop 24/7.

Hey that could still happen for all we know, though what they did to Link in ALBW doesn't give me too much hope though.

Not often do i agree with you, but this time i do. Nintendo is failing to create buzz for the wii u. They have a shit ton of quality games next year for wii u much better than what we know the rivals have and yet they are remainin mum about it and not creating the hype. Shit, I think they could have created much more hype for Super mario 3d world

Nintendo grow some balllsss.
