As the head of sales and marketing, I’d be curious about her opinion on Nintendo’s game announcement policy. I hate the fact they are basically not giving long term game forecasts anymore, we learn about games as they are close to release. She might have some insight as to why Nintendo is moving in that direction, I doubt the obvious answer (avoiding announcing another Project HAMMER, highly anticipated game that never makes it to market) is the only reason.
I think this hurts gamers and the company. Games would have less time to generate hype and interest, and fewer people will know about them. Sales take a hit, and some great games will be overlooked by a lot of gamers. Wario Land, for example, will probably not be a big title just because so few people actually know about it. I’m still surprised that there are people on sites like IGN and Gamespot saying “Oh, I haven’t heard about that game before.”
