All they had to do was push it to a July-August Nintendo Direct.

I can believe Reggie foresaw foresaw the outcry...
I can't believe that the big heads at NOJ are in touch enough to have considered this a possibility...

They probably still think we love it, lmao.

Reggie, are you practically saying we are giving you what we want to give you, not what you are asking for?

Did they anticipated too the low sales in case the game flops?

Then put the thing in a normal direct and instead announce one of your games that are 5-6 years out instead, god dammit Nintendo.

We could make a metroid prime game or make this that we know they won't like and will get negative press.. let's go with the second option.

idk maybe they knew this, but decided to go ''ahh screw it'' but would be better to release on a nintendo direct

Don't tell me someone's going to defend this guy now ! He should stop talking this second! Who does he think that he is? Some mastermind who can control his consumers into purchasing something they don't want?

To be fair...  the things he's been saying lately...
