Pie and Beans
Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
Usually they have timed droughts, but I'm willing to bet something got fucked up on Nintendo's end that's going to result in a lack of games till after the FY ends.
It's a damn shame, but I do think they overestimated Mario.
Meanwhile 3DS murder. Seriously, they've gotta be very happy with those numbers all around.
Its easy to see what happened really: Mario 3D Land. A 3d Mario game, one of EAD's best in recent years, on a portable. When did they have to bother doing that in the past? Never. DS got a Mario 64 port, sure, but 3D Mario was console space. Did Nintendo internally expand in talent and manpower to such a point where developing 2 big new 3D Marios concurrently would be no thang?
Nope, so here we are. Miyamoto has taken way too long with Pikmin 3 because the guy has lost his director/development edge, and you get this shambles for the WiiU while 3DS looks strong (perhaps almost because Miyamoto and the old guard arent as overbearingly involved).
One of the two fronts has been broken, and I'm not sure theres much of a prize or desire for them to reinforce that one all over again.
