Boy Nintendo has decided to blow all their fans goodwill over the past year. Censorship, copyright strikes, region locking and poor translation for localization. Talk about being a company that is easy to hate. Seriously, they are making me start to dislike them more than Konami and that is a massive feat.
The sooner you realize Kimishima is a traditional Japanocorp Exec the easier it will be to accept changes.
You have to understand Nintendo is pro Big Corp? Their favored fan is the one whole blindly spends. Not the conscientious consumer who doesnt buy a game because they are at odds with the media giants that keep Nintendo relevant.
With their PR being split between the directs and Old money game journalists who has a lot of issues with the average Japanophile gamer who wants the full panty quest package and has taken a dump om them. This is why the Vita failed and is viewed as an example of what would happen if Nintendo takes this path with its Japanese games. The otaku audience is toxic to their journalist connections. Bad scores means no bonuses and no bonuses means potential departures and layoffs.
And ypu think Nintendo is strict with copyright should look at Japanese Media in general. The market is so focused on physical that some big music labels literally dont have a youtube accpunt to sell their products. That company is called Johnny and Associates aka the comapny that gave us Arashi and Japan's sole source of boy bands and teenage hearthrobs. If anything their tactics is similar to AKB48. To Nintendo Youtube is a denied sale for every viewer since they are not actually buying their products. Like it or not but Nintendo is merely amother cog in the JapanoCorp machine cult.
Hopefully this gives you a good idea of how Nintendo thinks and makes acceptance of the recent actions easier to deal with

I don't think that Nintendo knows how advertising works in 2016.
THE FANS WILL DO THE ADVERTISING FOR YOU IF THEY LIKE THE PRODUCT!!!
Almost everyone knows that.
Marvel, for example, thrives on the online support of the fans.
Not Nintendo though, they're going their own way.

Nintendo know how it works. But they got big corps to do it for them. What noise we make is puny compared to the mediaa hype machine of old journalism
If IGN, GS and metacritic dies suddenly maybe they will listen to fan marketing but why fix a system that isnt broke?
