Yikes. Just the short intro cinematic for a story trailer. Bottom tier effort. And the character shaders and environments also look less interesting than Woolly World. And finally shoving it out right before the FY end also doesn't inspire a lot of confidence. Looks like a rush job even after the year delay.
My exact thoughts. The fact that it is releasing at the absolute last moment of the financial year tells me that this is the absolute furthest that they could've pushed the release date back; meaning that it's likely not really ready for release and that it is gonna be coming in hot...
Also, you know, this means that the Switch won't have a single first party release for almost 3 months... Not a good look at all for Nintendo...
When they can't even get a Direct done in time, you know that something is wrong over there. They're scrambling. They've fallen well behind schedule and they're scrambling to keep up the Switch's momentum; they desperately do not want to suffer another Wii U style drought situation but they're coming dangerously close...
Yoshi's Crafted World is probably not the only first party game that has gone through development hell and there's a very real chance that we're gonna be looking at another Wii U style drought if the 3rd party retail releases don't pick up the slack...
