I believe that game companies work differently from your job. 


Well they shouldnt... They should give a programmer something to work on. Tell them to get it done by a certain time and if the programmer is not capable of doing it they should fire him and find somebody who is. Simple as that.

Do you realise not delaying games and only chasing deadlines would make that almost all games would be much more broken and filled with bugs than they are today!? Do you really want games like that or possible delay!?

Whole gaming industry works like that, but Nintendo really gives shit about release dates, if they think game isn't finished they will delayed with any problem, they will not try to rush it. There is good reason why Nintendo games are still very polished and almost bug free.

Its not really a kneejerk reaction its actually a slow reaction to alot of mistakes and delays that have just been adding up... Since E3 this year.. Or maybe since they sold Rare... Yep pretty sure its been all downhill from there.

It is a kneejerk - especially when the real discussion is going on here http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=209649&page=1#

Do the research - there's more to the delay than just developing a game.


That discussion is about the mobile game.. This thread isnt just about the mobile game. Its about Nintendos inability to release any games and just bad business moves in general. Thats why I am saying this isnt simply a knee jerk reaction. Its built up overtime Nintendo breaks my heart constantly and I worry about them because I love them so much </3

Then it would be better to change the topic title, and make it look like it's relevant to what you intend to discuss, instead of a clone of the other thread.



And last week someone was assure that Nintendo learnt from their mistakes and nx will have plenty of sw at a steady output.

Their games are always top quality thats for sure. But come on this is getting ridiculous. They need to do something to get these games out. Software sells hardware.

Actually I think this is a point here.

Offcourse but you cant say evry Nintendo game is delayed. And this mobile game is totally different thing, 1st mobile game that is developed with DeNA on smart devices with new membership program and account system. This could easily be delayed beacuse membership program and account system are not yet done be DeNA.

It doesn't take a genius to realize that Miitomo, My Nintendo and Nintendo accounts are all linked. It's delay was likely to launch the app with the new services

This thread is nothing but a kneejerk reaction

It is a kneejerk reaction because very little thought and reseach went into making a thread. 

My Nintendo and Miitomo have the same release date, which clearly means they are linked. That is to say Miitomo will be using the new My Nintendo reward system and the new account system.

Mobile games/apps are easy to make, but rolling out a new service succesfully that millions of users will be using is not an easy task. Saying Nintendo is incompetent because they couldn't release a mobile game on time is disingenuous

Just show sw is trick. If Nintendo can have problems releasing a mobile game and others have been delayed. Just shows it's possible to have the nx games delayed and perhaps dry periods like this gen. games after 3 years on the gen should come smoothier because they learnt the system and hd isn't alien even for them.
