Re: Mario Strikers: Battle League Will Be Supported With Free Post-Launch Updates

@RubyCarbuncle dude I’m 30, almost, I remember when games were delayed too. But delays are not good. They can give you more time to work on it, but that also leaves a massive hole in the release calendar which can be disastrous. Don’t believe me, look at Starfield and what it’s done to the XBox.

And lulls in game releases is one of the big reasons the Wii U failed. Nintendo don’t want that to happen again, hence why they pivoted to this release strategy.

To those complaining that the game is incomplete and is just getting the content via a free update, if they released the game with all the content in it at launch that would mean delaying the game for a few months.

And if you think you’re ok with that, well fair enough, but Nintendo is not. Having a lull in games coming out is not good, it’s one of the reasons the Wii U died. It’s why companies try to avoid delaying a game as much as possible. So if Nintendo can release a finished, fully playable game with a slight lack of content, and then update it with more content in the future, then that’s precisely what they will do.

Re: Metroid Dread Studio Hit With Allegations Of Poor Organisation And Management

I remember seeing similar allegations a few years ago when Lords of Shadow 2 released with no corroborating evidence to back it up, from an employee that was supposedly fired.

It’s important to listen to these allegations with a degree of scrutiny. People will and often do lie to get back at others for perceived wrongs. That doesn’t mean we should disregard the allegations, but we need to make sure the people that are making them can back them up
