So wait, Nintendo skips E3 AGAIN, just to host their own online thing, a little E3/Best Buy Tourney for Smash 4....and everyone else is locked out? us Brits (and pretty much rest of the world) would want to play the game too, i don't want to find out that Captain Falcon is re-reconfirmed (alluded to in a sakurai interview somewhere, about tripping) over more newcomers...assuming Nintendo even updates information on the dot.
Can't imagine how the developers of Yarn Yoshi must be feeling, to be leaked through a developers' mode on the Wii U, then silent until an E3 where Smash Bros, Yoshi's New Island and Mario Kart 8 overshadowed it...which is highly unusual, which in turn doesn't make Nintendo that bad because by the time E3 rolls in, chances are all the games they have concrete information would have already came out...sans Yarn Yoshi. More Star Fox? Zelda? heck, even 3rd Party info might be nice...like Dragon Quest VII, apparently Square Enix were throwing the western release under a bus by blackmailing Nintendo by threatening to take away Bravely Default's rights from them if they attempted to translate it....just so Square Enix would milk it and the first 8 games for iOS and Android.
