As well as lazy headlines and reporting. The actual statement Sakamoto says is "Of course, that really depends on how much people really want to buy a 2D Metroid." That's it. That's all he says. The site (which isn't host to the article Sakamoto's interview came from) is the one putting words in his mouth. But then again, Sakamoto just musing on making another 2D Metroid depending on fan feedback isn't histrionic and melodramatic. It's just bizarre how people who claim to be uninterested in Nintendo are the ones most obsessed with the companyInsanityRequiem said:Hostage bullshit? More like general business practices.
Not just that, but seem to have lost intelligence completely. Business does business practice that happens all over the world and said practice has exists for decades if not hundreds of years? Other business do it and everything is fine, Nintendo does it, Nintendo is awful and horrible and worst company ever and deserves death! It?s mind boggling how people?s hatred makes them forget the most basic, learn as a kid, business practices.Aiddon said:As well as lazy headlines and reporting.

Don't think their announcement was to put pressure on their fans.RaikuFA said:Ok, here's my issue, what number does it need to make? I have no issue that it won't sell. But if they expect it to surpass Mario or Zelda, they're out of their fucking minds. What's it to be the best selling game that month making at least six digit sales and it's still not enough.
We had this before, with Seth from Capcom saying they'll localize AAI2 if someone won EVO using Phoenix Wright. Or when Square said if you wanted the 3DS Dragon Quest games, you'd better buy the Warriors spinoff on PS4. They still made Nintendo foot the bill. And this was after that whole Bravely Default thing happen.
How about instead of putting pressure on the fans, make new ones? Put up some ads on tv. If you can do it for Fire Emblem and save that franchise, why not make a TV commercial? Put it up on comedy central or CN/Nick if its ESRB is an E?
