Would be really weird. I was working for the european marketing for Switch and each and every single piece we got from Ninty explicitly said "March 2017". My work there is done since some days ago, but I didn't hear one single word about a later release in europe. I won't say it's impossible though, as us freelancers in marketing get to know everything as the very last people of all, but I highly doubt it.

So, if Switch flops in Europe, it is you to blame for bad marketing.

So you're that unle that works at Nintendo I've heard so much about, huh?



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Come join The 2018 Obscure Game Monthly Review Thread.

I dont think so.Nintendo is not in a position to get bad PR.I mean, you do have an argument, but I dont think it will happen.Worst case scenario, Zelda is delayed for a few weeks/months.



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

Yes, because I made all the marketing all by myself! =P

Seriously though, I'm just a very small part in all of that. I'm just doing what I'm being told. The basic marketing strategy and all that is done by completely different people.

Nah, I never worked at Nintendo. I just worked with them for a while as a freelance, from my own office. I only once saw Nintendo of Europe in Frankfurt from the inside. For one single meeting. Where I didn't even say a word. =D

To a native speaker. It might just be me, but it might be less cost-effective to localize to a language without close relatives in proximity, relative to another which has close relatives in proximity. Compare translating to Finnish alongside Swedish, Danish, and Norwegian.

You say that as if Zelda releasing a day after the Switch isn't entirely possible. It could also be because of localization to more than just the normal languages (Spanish, Portuguese, German, French, Italian, Anglo). It's possible that we'll see localizations to exotic languages like Finnish, Magyar, and Turkish.

No, I'm saying that sources inside Nintendo Uk indicatesthat Zelda seems to be late in Europe. Really late, not 1 day, not 2 weeks, but a few months late.

Missing launch doesn't necessarily mean that it will be released a day after, it means it's going ro be release 3 to 6 months later.

Now the theory in this thread is that it is everything that is late. And this theory is completely wrong. And for many reasons

 

We even have a leak for the Hori  Switch accessories, the leaks comes from France, and there is the march date on it with a Zelda Accessory for the Switch.

 

So can you drop it now. The switch will be out in march in Europe. As for Zelda, looks like march too, but we don't know for sure. That's it, nothing else, now stop with the stupid theories and let's wait until the presentation.

I fixed one small thing.

For the record, if I was running NoE, I'd do what I just posted. Unfortunately, I'm not, so I concede.



 
I WON A BET AGAINST AZUREN! WOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

:3

The platform releases regardless of Zelda or not.



Of course it could. Whether it does is an entirely different matter, and I don't think it does.



Please no...

I don't think that would be an issue, as you still need professional translators to translate the same source material. 

But, yeah, there are roughly 30 million(?) speakers of finno-ugric languages, opposed to 500 million speakers of germanic languages.
