To be honest, nintendo does not owe anyone anything and probably do not care *that* much about backlash. If anything, they could close down tomorrow and nobody would be able to do anything about it. That being said, if you don't like how they are splitting the game into two versions, you could just not buy the game - its not like anyone is forcing you to, and if there is a substantial decline in sales from fe13 to fe14 then nintendo/is will probably do something about it.
