There's lot of reasons why they should announce it sooner but since they were talking to shareholders they should absolutely temper expectations with shareholders because when something big doesn't pan out it could cause an even bigger drop in shareholder confidence.
Nintendo didn't release a single thing on Switch last November and it didn't matter
Is this the new 'pokemon will sell millions without you' reference?
Do we seriously think there aren't going to be any third-party games in October? Especially now where we've reached a "more games each week than in any of Switch's early months" release pace?
Uh, I'm pretty sure many people who bought the Switch for Mario or Zelda are excited for Smash and Pokemon. Those are Nintendo's 4 biggest properties.
Products makes me thinks more Labo kits or some other kind of conversion play kit.
No game will do it for those people. No game is like Odyssey or BotW and successors for these games take a lot of time. Expecting genre defining masterpieces every year from the same company, or even multiple of such games is ridiculous. Other publishers haven't released a single game this entire gen yet.
That would be cool. I hope it's Prime Trilogy and not fucking Skyward Sword.
They announce one new 2018 game at E3, bringing the total of 2018 Q3-4 games to three. And these are 3 rather tame games for the core gamer. Mario Party and Smash feel iterative (though obv. will be great fun), while Pokemon is developed for the casual/non-gamer audience.
And when that one inevitably disappoints, there'll be another after that. It's the blessing and curse of being a Nintendo fan.
I was talking about the 25% drop in stock price off their 52 week high
