I'm 100% fine with the delay. Not only will it make for a better game, which I have always applauded Nintendo for being so committed to putting the time and resources into, but the game and amiibo releases between now and December was already on the verge of breaking my bank account. This is now $60 that I can save long enough to send out of next year's tax return instead, and I'm all right with that.

I always find this logic odd.  If you don't have the money why not just wait to buy the game later when you can afford it?  You only have so much time to play games anyway and there is no point in buying multiple games at the same time if one of them is going to sit untouched for a little while.  It isn't like Star Fox Zero is going to be out-of-print three months after release.

I always felt that was the justification for special editions and bundles. I feel pressured to buy those games sooner because I want to be sure I get the best version or the package that includes some extra goodies. There is also the fear that physical copies could become scarce down the road so I want to hurry up in my purchasing of titles I think could become hard to find.

Nintendo is one of those few companies I prefer to support on day one, partially because I simply lkve their games and have since the '80s, and partially because the Wii U is a wonderful but criminally underloved console that deserves all the support it can get. But Xenoblade X alone should keep me more than busy until Star Fox rolls along, so waiting a few extra months for it doesn't seem bothersome at all.

As for buying multiple games within the same timeframe, I simply enjoy having choices. One night I might be up for a game that's tense and deeply involving; the next, I might more tired and in the mood for something that's easier to just pick up and play for a short time. I enjoy having some variety in my game library.

If Nintendo can finish it in time, they should put Xenoblade Chronicles X as the big Pre-Black Friday release. Nintendo needs to advertise the hell out of it and get people who normally wouldn't pick it up interested. I also would give the first Xenoblade Chronicles as a free Wii download to all people who pre-order. Two amazing RPGs for the price of one. In fact, Nintendo should throw in Earthbound and Earthbound Beginnings. Get every single Wii U owner to pick it up. DO THIS NINTENDO!!!! DO IT!!!!!

Also, I am happy they are delaying Star Fox. I don't think it would have had sales even close to Mario 3D World (especially with mediocre review scores). I also expect Star Fox to now get the magic May release date that Mario Kart 8 and Splatoon received.

Hey, you're the person who says you send a message with your money by what you buy and what you don't buy. He's just doing the same thing. By buying it and at full-price, he's showing that he's a fan of the game/genre/franchise. Buying it down the rode later at a lesser price is still a positive vote but it sends a mixed message as to why the purchase is made. That is why even though I will buy a lot of games at a reduced price or deal, there are a couple purchases I will make here and there at full price to give some show of support to a product. Money logic!
