Don't you have that a bit backwards? As a shareholder, they should be very comfortable with Nintendo's performance this year.I'm implying that they don't need a big November game because Mario and Animal Crossing are selling so well. I think it's silly for fans to worry about Nintendo this year because the marketing isn't firing on all cylinders. Now, if I were a shareholder, I would be concerned, but the fans have seen Nintendo go through worse times.
As a fan, I want games to play. That's why people are hoping for a November game. I think the hardcore fans consider this to be a very weak year, which is understandable. Still, I'd like to get at least one new Nintendo game this year, it would be the first time I haven't done that since I was like 5 years old lol.
