Gender locked race?

[Lacan]

Except if he wants to do a surprise reveal of a new race? If he confirmed male viera aren't coming then people would be expecting something as a substitute. He would obviously try to avoid spoiling something that would have been a pretty big surprise if it weren't for leaks.

Would he want to set people up with misplaced expectations though? I just find it hard to believe he didn't realize how risky it would be letting the playerbase think "oh, cool we're probably getting male Viera!" just to be told at the next fanfest, "oh hey, guess what? You're not getting male Viera. But you can have this entirely different race we thought up that you didn't ask for and didn't know anything about till right this moment instead. Please look forward to it."


Sounds like a recipe for disaster. I know SE fumbles a lot, but I'd think Yoshi himself would know better than to pull something like that. :v I could be wrong though, he could have done an oppsie. I just find it hard to believe.
