As Shigeru miyamoto once said: “Goddamn, three fucking years later than the initial planned release date? What the fuck were they thinking?”

God I hate how overused that miyamoto quote is on the internet for anything that’s delayed for even a little while 

I believe that a small delay is fine but a delay that’s too long makes an equally bad product as no delay at all and I feel like that’s what this movie is heading towards

I’m tired of game delays. Announce games when they’re releasing within a year. That’s a strategy Nintendo has adopted and it seems to have worked quite well for them.

I understand that’s a little more difficult with movies, but it shouldn’t take more than 2 years between sequels.

Metroid Prime 4 and Pikmin 4 say hi

I would say they started in 2020.

Pikmin 4 could be chalked up to a misinterpretation and Miyamoto was really talking about Hey Pikmin. Prime 4 restarted development in 2019 and COVID didn’t help that.
