people still complained, but because it wasn't a 3rd party thread, the "usual suspects" did not enter the thread to tell NIntendo fans to suck it up.

Fair enough. Ill hold off my judgment of this until I hear something more official then. If its just a bad journalist wanting views, then he needs to find another job... Shit like this can really hurt developers.

170 comments because one half-assed journalist quoted a random person on Facebook...
If it wasn't so damn funny, it would have been tragic...people get worked up over slightest things these days...

Well its not like any of it was hard to believe though...

I'm not sure why the title has changed. I've looked into it, and its the authorized fan page. The same place where we found out about the Wii U delay for this game.
And it seems like they have closed the page, probably due to the negative press.

This game would of never sold well on the WiiU,delayed or not.And he is correct,if you really want it,you would buy it,just like if any other game you wanted got delayed.

Maybe you would, but dont speak for everyone.

True! That's why, because of today's standards in "journalism" (as a whole, not only gaming), I've made a rule to listen only to official announcements.

All these insiders, whistleblowers, pretenders etc...are getting out of hand big time.

Can you prove to me that the developers are the ones who said the statement on this fanpage somehow?  If not then the title change stays.  I'm sure it's a great page to get new information about the game, but it isn't a place where every opinion made can be said to be the developer saying it.  

It was an authorized fanpage, I'm sure Slightly Mad Studios asked them to take it down after all this crappy press, but that isn't indicative that SMS are the ones who actually made the statement.  

Had Mario Kart got delayed to next year would you still buy it?
