>>30360851I don't think it was rushed, but there are things that are suspiciously unused (the giant pirate ship, the lighthouse with a path that's clumsily gated off, the golf course and strangely empty resort). I think that, given the fact that the NX was supposed to come out around this time of year, it was supposed to release as a launch title for the NX, but they had to switch
pun intended it over to 3DS when the NX got delayed, and they just didn't have time to actually use those areas.
The explanation for the fact that they're still in the game: either they're going to re-release the games for the NX with those things fleshed out, or they're going to make a third version again and use those things.
Alternatively, sequel baiting could be another explanation for those existing in the game, but I get a feeling that they probably just aren't making sequels anymore.
