Your ludicrous statements about it being 'shallow' and opinions like it being 'bad for Nintendo and everyone' stated as if they are fact. They are amusing for how petty and over the top they are.
Samus Returns being on 3DS instead of Switch, or only on the 3DS and not also the Switch, is clearly to profit from the larger install base of the 3DS. Denying this is a shallow reason is pointless. It's not for the benefit of the game, certainly.
Fans who support a franchise no matter what are in fact bad for everyone. They teach the company who makes that franchise that the bar is lowered. This is true for any company, not just Nintendo. Lower standard for the games = worse games.
If you think any of this is petty or over the top, I'm not sure what to tell you.
No not that, you are right in that.
The "oh others are fine to do that - let them be swindled" and such.
OK? Again, tone is lost on the internet, I'm not judging anyone who actually evaluates this and thinks it's fine for them. If it seems that way, that's on me. I just reserve the right to say that I think it sucks and I don't like it. I can stand next to someone who says they're glad it's on the 3DS and not think any different of them.
How is it a shallow money making move when they started making this probably close to a year before the switch was even revealed?
Also lol at assuming metroid fans buy anything with the franchise name on it after federation force was one of the worst first party bombs ever for nintendo.
You think Nintendo didn't know about the Switch before the Switch was revealed? Come on now..
To your second point I admit you've got me there. I don't really assume most people buy everything, but the tone of the statement by Sakamoto is really offputting.
