@VoidofLight I'm more curious about why Nintnedo themselves are making the apology and not Gamefreak, or the Pokemon company. The latter aren't owned by them. They only hold a stake and act mostly as distributors.
@BloodyMurder Beats me. The latter had a domino effect on a whole franchise. The former is most likely to fade into obscurity outside of some niche groups.
@SmogHobbit When you have Main devs who worked on the Sonic Franchise from its inception and one of the largest AAA publishers in Japan, expectations will be raised, deservedly or not
@bozz And that's completely fair. Though, from my perspective, I kind of see it as a project that could have gone places but was squandered because of various factors both outside and within the devs' control. That's how I look at the whole situation.
@KoiTenchi That's the idea. That demo did not help them at all. Also, it should be noted that removing it will probably add to the lack of word of mouth they themselves caused.
@Gauchorino There's review bombing and then there's review inflating(?). The former tends to be very common in many recent titles, but the latter, not so much.
@RushDawg True, that saidd, what do you take from this? I'm not going to say that they'll get aquired by another studio or something of the sorts, but we know that it could happen after what happened with Zenimax. So it's something to keep thinking about.
And...the comment section has been run by morons from both sides now. All right, so the reviews make no sense honestly since we knew the day it was revealed that the game would be exclusive to begin with. Also, guys, I'm sure both Horizon and Three Houses are good games overall, and anything you say is either nitpicking or you just don't feel they are your type of games.
@EmmatheBest Um...Are you sure? I feel like that would not be an ideal option given what has been coming out from that studio at the moment. Isn't there any other company that makes racing games that could be a better option?
@aznable I think the issue would be mitigated a bit if they had more characters from the Sonic franchise in this game because I'm pretty sure there are more than 15 characters existing there if I'm not mistaken.
Is this it? Is this finally the film that will truly break the videogame curse? Will we be truly free from this curse and move on with our lives with a smile on our faces? Is this it?

Re: Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Version 1.1.0 Now Available, Nintendo Apologises For Performance Issues & Bugs
@VoidofLight But did they have a say on when it was coming out? How much is decided by them and much is so for GameFreak or the Pokemon company?

Re: Yuji Naka Erases Former Co-Worker And Sonic Creator Naoto Ohshima From Team Photo
@Chocobo_Shepherd OK, but this comes off as very unprofessional. He could have simply just now shown the picture to begin with.

Re: The Balan Wonderworld Demo Is Being Taken Down Today
Honestly, what was their plan for this demo anyway?

@BlackenedHalo Useless or not, it is still a rather strange phenomenon in this game's case.

Re: Nintendo Apologises For Tokyo Mirage Sessions Censorship Misinformation, Offers Refunds

Re: The Pokémon Sword And Shield Anime Will Be Set Across Every Region From Kanto To Galar
@pokefan500 Maybe. Maybe not. All I know is, they really should have just considered using post-launch updates to possibly mitigate the issue.

Re: Cadence Of Hyrule Features The Work Of Two Sonic Mania Artists
@gaga64 Well, if we want to get technical, it is their second game, it just so happens to be a crossover with the Legend of Zelda.

@Bobb Agreed
Re: The Sonic Movie Gets Delayed Until 2020 To Get Things 'Just Right'
@dougphisig But what if they change the size of Sonic's eyes or his height when interacting with human characters?
Re: The Sonic Movie Gets Delayed Until 2020 To Get Things 'Just Right'
@RevengeFan Because at least we can live knowing kids won't be scarred from life watching his old film design. I think.
Re: The Sonic Movie Gets Delayed Until 2020 To Get Things 'Just Right'
@FNL Given this franchise's history, that's not out of the realm of possibility.
Re: The Sonic Movie Gets Delayed Until 2020 To Get Things 'Just Right'
@Bobb Forget the screenings. Think about how much money it will need to make up for the changes in the marketing.
