It's more exhausting too, as as Nintendo fan you almost always feel like you're "waiting" for something. Sure you get a nice game or two here and there, but most of the time, it's about waiting for the next thing to drop.

Nintendo's ridiculous secrecy I think really does not do them many favors. I mean just looking at it in hindsight, does something like Yoshi's Wooly World need to be so secretive as if some government secret on UFOs?

What's wrong with just throwing your fans a bone now and again and showing them some damn games? Keeping them in the loop?

Nintendo not only mis-markets their games, it's like they go above and beyond out of their way to keep their own fans from seeing their games, lol. It's really a bizarre corporate culture almost designed to suck all the fun/anticipation out of it.

The fact of the matter is it's not like Sony/MS are really copying anything Nintendo does anymore anyway, you can fucking relax Nintendo, Sony is not making Nathan Drake's Wooly World.

Would it kill you guys to be more pro-consumer in how you behave and communicate to your own fanbase? Nintendo just seems to be of the three the one that goes furthest out of the way to keep their own fans in the dark and things like yanking Youtube fan videos and all that ... it's just like c'mon Nintendo. It's a really petty way to run a global business.

I get that some of the hardcore and even casual Nintendo fans are tired of tolerating these things. If you guys feel that way, it's understandable. I don't know, honestly, what to tell you since none of us are in the board rooms or the developers' chairs knowing the ins and outs of Nintendo. I just don't feel the same way you guys feel. It honestly doesn't build up inside of me because I probably don't think too hard on these things. Would I be disappointed? Sure, but I just move on because in the end, it's the end product I'll have to worry about. Did I have fun playing their games? What did I gain from these games? Even up till now, I believe they've done more good than bad, even through this gen. Do I need 24/7 news on Nintendo? No. Do I have to pay attention and buy every game they release? No. Have I bought games they've developed and enjoyed them? Yeah. Do I wish they market more? I guess, at least for those who are not aware of their products. Is their silence irritating? Not really since life is more than just video games. Not trying to put down or aside your comments here, but some just think differently in this situation. Nintendo has done whatever they could do to attract gamers from hardcore to casual to the Wii U and 3DS. It's not working well unfortunately, especially for Wii U. Doesn't affect much of my overall view of Nintendo, the Wii U, or 3DS.



I don't understand. These are video games. They're a luxury, yet people are acting like the world is crumbling. If 3-4 extra months of development time are best for the NX (and therefore, Nintendo and their customers), then so be it. Life will continue. We can play other games. It's not a big deal. If you are bummed/feel burned on the Wii U, then don't buy a system until is has a plethora of games that you are interested in. Hopefully, it was a lesson learned.

The Wii U helped reinvigorate my love for gaming after being severely burned by most of the "big budget AAA games" of the 7th generation. It made me buy a 3DS and build a pc to have more of a diverse catalog. I am looking forward to the NX, whenever it is ready for Nintendo and the customers.

I'm not even angry any more. 

I'm just tired. Tired of droughts. Tired of delays. Tired of radio silence. Tired of lazy, safe, conservative games. Tired of Nintendo.

After 22 years I think it's time for a divorce.

Come to the dark side. Try PlayStation. You can always have a secondary Nintendo console.

So true.

Imagine if MS or Sony had a whole yearly lineup consisting of a HD remaster, (TPHD) an arcade port, (Pokken) a generally disliked reboot, (Starfox Zero) a niche JPRG, (#FE) a family sports game, (Mario & Sonic) a sequel to a hated spinoff, (Colour Splash) and nothing else? They'd be fucking crucified for offering their players so little. But with Nintendo people make excuses for them and talk about how great it is to have three games releasing in a two month period.

Imagine if MS pushed back Halo 5 to make it multiplat with Xbox Two.

Imagine if Sony showed nothing new of Uncharted 4 for a year and a half, then announced it was pushed back again to 2017 and would be their only game at E3.

Imagine if either PS4 or Xbox One went for three whole months without a major retail release.

Other fanbases wouldn't put up with such treatment, much less defend it.

With that much '' Imagine if '' we could rebuild worlds you know.

We what I saw today, the majority of the fan base seems disappointed or just indifferent b'cause they already knew it would get delayed + I didn't see anybody being happy about the situation the WiiU is for the rest of this year.

For the game, it only comes to your own opinion and experience you had with them, there's no general consensus about them.

What happenned today is obviously clouding your judgement ...

There are people, lots of them, defending Nintendo's recent actions. If Sony or Microsoft had behaved the way Nintendo has for the last year, they'd be burned at the stake, but Nintendo has been so constently bad for so long that it's become the new baseline, and people accept their unacceptable behaviour.

Yes, they're getting some deserved flak, but people still tolerate things from them that other companies would never get away with.



Having to wait until next year for Zelda is disappointing but that's about it. Well, Nintendo failing to understand that having some kind of momentum left when launching the next system might be a good idea is also a bit disappointing I suppose.



YES.... NO FURTHER COMMENT.



Sorta. NX better be good.



I've been angry at Nintendo before it was cool.
