@Foolio:
Wagomu I understand where you're coming from, and yes part of it is definitely influenced by pessimism based on Nintendo's track record. But you also can't take away people's rights to interpret and infer. Nintendo not saying anything, says a lot. If they're not going to give any specifics and refuse to talk about it further until NEXT YEAR, that says a lot. The fact that all of the interview answers have been rather vague but still consistently pointing in a direction I disagree with, says a lot. So yes we should reserve final judgement until everything is out in the open, but the entire way Nintendo is choosing to go about this product is to me a bad sign. And I think the way I'm extrapolating information is justified.
Furthermore, I think it is perfectly valid to look at the trailer and interpret the message it's trying to send. You may see something different than what I see, but that doesn't make me wrong to criticize what I see as their vision versus what I see as the actual thing they're making. And if I'm getting the wrong message then well, maybe they should actually release some fucking details.
Putting it that way is something I can agree with more. Nintendo's silence hasn't been awe-inspiring exactly, but they've been pretty uncommunicative since Iwata died, so it might just come down to idiocy in marketing.At this point, I think there's too much noise to really say if their silence is incriminating. I also think that the fact that they were willing to show off some new content with the Switch means that they're definitely working on it, and want people to know they are, though you're right that we have no clue when any of that will come out, and no reason to believe that we'll get any of it on release.
I guess the noise thing is why I'm really being defensive about it right now. This is the first major thing Nintendo's really done in their post-Iwata environment, and so far, the reveal has been met with a great reception, so they're doing something right. Whether or not that's an accident, though, is anyone's guess (I think that it has something to do with their distancing from the Wii U, but that's conjecture). I'm finding myself inclined to wait and judge, and think that it's more prudent to sit back here and develop no strong feelings, either way.
That said, you have your right to speculations that go either way, but I'm just feeling really inclined sort of rail against the hype or anti-hype, since I believe in my neutrality, too.
