Why do they need to get the Christmas market? Why is it bad if they don't?

They'll lose Q4

I guess what I'm confused about is why you're blaming Miyamoto for Star Fox being delayed and for Nintendo not releasing any big games this winter. And why you seem to hate who many consider the single greatest game developer of all time.

I don't care much about Star Fox either way, but there are a few games for Wii U I'll probably get anyway this winter--notably Splatoon and Super Mario Maker. I can't afford to buy every single big name Wii U game that comes out when it comes out, but I guess you can?

yeah this honestly frees up my budget so i can actually buy stuff when it comes out

They'll lose Q4

do you think Nintendo honestly gives a shit about competition? They can operate at a defecit for years and still be fine.

3DS is selling more than well enough to keep them viable i think

Because people feel entitled to have companies release all the current planned games at Christmas

[Altissimo]

Sonic Boom and Sonic 06 were both Christmas releases

[BlackDragonSlayer]

Not sure what release date has to do with their quality. *shudder*

[Altissimo]

Let me rephrase: They were rushed for Christmas.

[BlackDragonSlayer]

That's not the only problem those games had (at least for Sonic 06...).

The reason most people are upset is because the Wii U isn't going to have many good games released towards the end of the year (only other game I can think of that most people care about is Xenoblade Chronicles X); if there were more games being released at the same time, people probably wouldn't be upset, but Star Fox Zero was one of the few games that was being released.

i think you're missing my point. sonic 06 and sonic boom sucked as bad as they did partly because they were rushed out the door for christmas.

I have this mixed sense of satisfaction and irritation because I have collected all of the blue puzzle pieces in streetpass but now I have nothing to use my coins on and also am still missing like 8 of the pink ones

[Olimar12345]

sonic 06 is a classic tho

[Altissimo]

I loved playing sonic 06 but it doesn't make it a good game

"Twilight Princess HD" added to Nintendo update servers

That didn't stop Nintendo from creating that abomination known as amiibo festival and planning it for a release in a few weeks despite there being literally nothing known about it outside of the basics

[Dude]

but that's free tho
