love Nintendo and Miyamoto but I'd be glad if they just come clean and said 'look, Universal offered us A LOOOOT of money for a theme park… it's not like after that we could just give this to Pixar, as much as we'd love to…'
'btw, say goodbye to any Nintendo characters appearing in Wreck-It-Ralph 2' (god, this hurts a bit :/)
i don't doubt for a minute that this guy is a nintendo fan (let's face it, most people working with games nowdays grew up playing nintendo games) and i do understand that ea is a business, so if it doesn't make financial sense for them to release games on the switch, they won't release games on the switch…
the only thing i don't understand is: who the hell thought it was a good idea to present themselves in front of a red and black banner!!?? it made them look positively evil…
I always thought there was some marketing behind the decision to change Robotnik to Eggman: Russia is a huge market and have a villain name that sounds distinctly Russian, while it may have flown in the 90s, is probably not great for business now…
yeah, it really sucks when designers fall victim of "executives" who have no idea what they are doing but believe they can make a quick buck on a industry they know nothing about…
@koelboel there are not nearly enough Zoolander references in this comment section, so your contribution is greatly appreciated
