DMiller! *pants drop*
I think they should even add to it in the exact opposite, throw out a fully opinionated 'what if' scenario. Like Battalion Wars; It should have been fought to the front lines (i'm punny) to include multiplayer. It should have been well known to Nintendo that we DO NOT want this game UNTIL multiplayer is added. But the game sites only included that flaw in their reviews after its release, not once bringing it up before hand when something could have been done about it.
Nintendo releases to the press a blurb about the upcoming game, it gains a little interest for people looking for future games to play. Then the sites need to tear it to pieces, talk about the experimental game play, make a type of 'review' based on what is known so far and get people educated on the game and its structure to the point that we can start raising a movement to have certain features disabled or enabled, it would make the games better, Nintendo would have an even better idea of what is needed and more feedback from the people who will be buying the games.
I hate it when a game site says "little is known so we're leaving it as is". If Capcom says "hey Resident Evil for DS" everyone who is a journalist should be bringing up the notion of RE1 AGAIN and how the game needs to be more original, that we dont want RE1 again despite it having new gameplay modes. When they released that horrible RE game for Gameboy no one even glanced at it twice - PUNCHING ZOMBIES? it was retarded and if the press would speak up more about it, it would have been a better game because Capcom would have gotten much more feedback while the game was being made so they know what their audience wants.
Film directors, producers and writers do it, they look for feedback from everyone, individuals and demographics to create the best from their ability so that the target audience will have more fun, showing the alpha version of the film to test audneces looking for feedback, changing it until almost everyone agrees that its great, even changing the film WHILE ITS IN THEATERS or before the DVD is released to better fit what people want to see, everything from minor problems to removing or adding entire scenes. Video games should be no different, there's no reason why Battalion Wars couldn't be re-released as a special edition with a new campaign (where you play as the Solar empire) and an in-depth multiplayer option. But instead, we'll be waiting until well in to the Revolution's era for a sequel. Nintendo could be making twice the money with little effort AND making its market happy. Completely retarded. The only reason this isn't done is because of a lack of feedback and a masturbating network of press who are just trying to cash in on the circle jerk.
If a handful people who 'get it' and take the time to send Nintendo emails saying "Hey, fix this", Nintendo wont care. Get a few thousand people all asking for the same thing and boom, squeaky wheel gets the oil ASAP.
