I feel really bad for the loyal Nintendo fans.

Why? I can`t speak for all the fans, as a fan myself, I am feeling fine and dandy with them. Yeah, they say and do some questionable and outright terrible things, but I`m enjoying their systems and games just fine : ) Also, no need to feel bad.

He's right.

How long will it take for Shenmue III and FF VII remake to be released? What about FF XV or The Last Guardian?

Nintendo made that mistake once, during their January direct in 2013. I guess they were in panick mode due to bad sales.

Well, i'm sure the press is taking full advantage of quotes without context.

No, i dont think they are, but i do think people are upset at them with good reason. This is not the Nintendo we saw last year, and that is a shame.

well no it doesn't even really qualify as opinion either unless you're blind

Reggie doesn't have any control though. It won't matter WHO takes his place. Nintendo's problem in the US is that they don't allow the US branch any power to make important decisions. Everything is decided in Japan where they don't have a clue as to what the US consumer wants.

Back when Sega beat Nintendo in the US, during the Genesis era, Sega allowed the US branch to have total control. This is why you saw all of those awesome commercials and games that were made for the US consumer.

If Nintendo would allow for something like that, we'd all stop getting Metroid Soccer and get Metroid Prime instead. 

Miyamoto is fine and valid.

Reggie is being a bitter. Even I cringed at his tirade last week

The link is not working. What I can say though is that Nintendo is losing in more than just sales. After all, they never received this backlash last year, even though they were losing in sales then.

At the end of the day these guys have to sell their products.

In their executive meetings they are probably shitting all over the Wii U, but that is a product that is still being sold and has games coming out for it for at least one more year, so damage control is, in reality, the only thing they can do.

Saying stuff like "Our Wii U is a big failure, and we are planning to release the NX next year" will decrease even more the sales of the Wii U.

I'm not trying to defend them, but people need to understand that Nintendo is a business (mostly talking about Reggie and Iwata here), and they have to do whatever it takes to make their product don't look as bad as it is.

A better solution would simple be not say anything on the matter, keep interviews as low as possible and when you have to do them, think very carefully what you are going to say.

Strange that it doesn't work: try clicking the link provided in Mr. Playstation's post.
