Was anyone on here really that amped to play a mobile Nintendo game???

Isn't the quality of the product most important?

Have you ever developed a game or worked on any project in general? Everything is given a schedule hell even political laws are often delayed, delays happen because of unseen issues that pop up.

Yes, why not? I have enjoyed mobile games like The Secret Society and Candy Crush.

It is. Delays commonly happen. The backlash is expected and justified each time a game is delayed. Asking others to not complain though? "Clutching at straws", "It's just 5 months", "delaying games doesn't mean they are incompetent", "This thread is nothing but a kneejerk reaction". I personally couldn't care less about the delay, but the OP is being demeaned to a baffling degree.

Announce a release window for an X game, delay it, get justified backlash. It's that simple.

What do you mean I have no argument?... It is a delay of a Nintendo product.. Nintendo cant seem to release any products including the amiibo shortages. It speaks volumes about the productivity of the company... Wii U has been a disaster this year. And with nothing announced for next year why should I be optimistic? And even if they did announce something why should I trust them to deliver it on time?

First of all I just want to let everyone know I am a nintendo fan. I have been a loyal fan since the 80s. Ive never owned a console that wasn't Nintendo. But when you say Nintendo is doing all these new things and thats why they cant release anything. In my opinion is not a good argument. They shouldnt have taken on all these projects if they couldnt complete them in a timely manner. And leaving people like me who only play Nintendo waiting for games.... Its bad for business and they might lose loyal fans like me who have been with them since the 80s.

Oh and examples of games.. Zelda the only game that was gonna move systems this holiday season. And then Starfox something that could have held me over to zelda... And yoshi wooly world which I think is crap and they have released but even that saw a long delay.

mobile games for nintendo is very sensitive topic. They have to design it properly so people still see a reason to buy a 3DS

Why do I need more when those were the only 2 games worth getting this holiday season?

To me it shows wisdom.  To wait until the game is as good as it can be and then release it at that time.  Nintendo needs to strive to be better than companies like Ubisoft who release shoddy games like Assasins Creed Unity before they are ready or WB with the shoddy Arkham Knight port.
