Ummmm. So? It still doesn't matter. They could have pushed back the release date for Japan. Plus, Pokemon managed to do it, and it needs a ton of localization. Actually, almost every big Nintendo release had it close to a worldwide release. Super Mario 3D World, Mariokart 8, and many, many other titles. Considering that North America is where most of their sales come from, they should make us a priority, and they have in the past. For example, A Link Between Worlds came out in America before Japan. Still disregarding what they should have done, Sakurai is still being a hypocrite saying he doesn't want people to be spoiled with the game, and then not making it a near worldwide release, and then refusing to release substantial information about the game instead of it being second hand. That said, I am well aware of the NoA stream, but that still goes against Sakurai's wishes to "not spoil the game". Unless they release an EShop demo for the other countries, this is extremely bad marketing that will also cause unbalanced online play. The hype will rise when Japan releases the game, yes. But unless they plan to release free Dlc on October 3, the hype for their target consumers will fall drastically. Considering this is the biggest game of the year, I am very disappointed in Nintendo.
