The guy who teased this was their indie guy. It was said during a podcast. What did people expect? You can't blame Nintendo on this one, it was forums and website that blew it up and started to overhype it.
Lots of people claiming they know bether then an experienced developer lol. "But.. but it looks like.." That's not how it works. I have zero development knowledge and even i know that.
If the Wii U version was a part of the kickstarter they can't cancel it. Correct me if i'm wrong, but PC wasn't funded by kickstarter but rather another crowdfunding.
Well, last time a random guy offered to help with development (he was a competetive player) Sakurai just said "have you ever made a game"? So yeah. Not saying the ideas are neceseraly bad though.
@Serebii They own 10% of Creatures, right? As for GF, Wikipedia lists them as "private". I'm not good with this, but i think it means they don't sell shares at all? If that's the case then Nintendo owns no part of them. (I've seen you teaching the Pokemon franchise owneship several times on Gaf. Doesn't it get tiering after a while? lol Love your website btw, i've been checking it everyday since gen 4 )
@Faruko I meant that they have more right then anyone to work on the mainline games, not that they own the majority rights to the franchise (although i think they own a few percent more than the others). And just like @Serebii said, the ownership of both the franchise and TPC is very evenly split anyway.
I actually own in on the PS2, but i stoped mid play because of others and now it's been so long. I want to check out the motion controls, so i'll probably buy this.
I wasn't going to buy this since i have them both on 3DS, but after seeing some people here being openly against homosexuality i might do it just buy it to support more things like this.

HYPE!
Re: Hover: Revolt of Gamers Will Be "Properly" Recreated For Wii U
If the Wii U version was a part of the kickstarter they can't cancel it. Correct me if i'm wrong, but PC wasn't funded by kickstarter but rather another crowdfunding.
Re: Review: Rodea the Sky Soldier (3DS)
@TruenoGT Yuji Nakas team had nothing to do with The Wii U/ 3DS version actually. Kodokawa games made those.
Re: Final Fantasy's Cloud Is Set To Cause Some Strife In Super Smash Bros. On Wii U And 3DS
Out of freaking NOWHERE!
Re: Capcom "Will Consider The Possibility" Of Supporting Nintendo NX
Seems like your standard none answer. I wouldn't start to be negative yet.

Re: Fatal Frame Developers on Why Water was a Central Theme and How Ayane Came to be Included
@abe_hikura Ayane was confirmed long before the games release so it's not really a spoiler.
Re: Random: Fan Creates Custom amiibo of EarthBound Cast and Pokémon Trainer Red
@NintendoFan64 Ignore him, he complains and overreacts on several articles. Probably trolling at this point.

@Acein210 7/10 is crap?

Re: Pokémon Developer Game Freak Acquires Smartphone Development Studio Koa Games
@Gerbwmu They created the franchise and owns one third of it. I'd they have more right then anyone.
Anyway, very interesting news. I love GF so i'll check out anything they do.
Also, Harmoknight was published by Nintendo, not themself.
