NIntendo doing the unthinkable!!!

[TheProfosist]

Would just like to point out from that article: He explained that their first step in smartphone development is an app that could showcase “the value of our entertainment offerings, thus encouraging more people to participate in Nintendo platforms.”

Also whats with the random capital "I" in the title?

[DLM_012]

Not sure what to think of this. haha

I know this will NEVER happen, but something I think would do Nintendo a world of good and bring them back as a serious competitor in the console market.

I would love to see a new "Nintendo", not a Wii, not anything else, just call it "Nintendo".

Nintendo has a massive library of games spanning the early 1980's to today. All they would have to do is create a console that emulated all of their previous consoles, home and handheld, as well as the Sega systems since they are no longer enemies in the market, easy enough. Give it a huge store for people to buy any of the classics they want from the last 30 years. And I don't mean like a limited selection you find on the Wii markets, but as many of the game from the past 30 years they can legally do.

Give it a nice big replaceable HDD to store it all. DVD/BD-ROM support, powerful modern hardware comparable to the XB1/PS4, and open it up to developers for new titles so it could compete with Sony and MS.

Yeah ... I know. I am dreaming, but still, that would be amazing in my humble opinion. =P

 

Easier said then done. I know people love the classics but if Nintendo isn't bringing new ideas to the table then they will die (many, many years from now of course). Their savings won't last forever.

Very true, hence the next line in my post.

 

"Give it a nice big replaceable HDD to store it all. DVD/BD-ROM support, powerful modern hardware comparable to the XB1/PS4, and open it up to developers for new titles so it could compete with Sony and MS."

 

Yeah, no way it would survive on retro alone, it would have to be competative in todays market with modern titles.

 

Still, would be cool. =P

They're desperate for money. They'll do anything probably.

how about making sure a company with history stays up and running and keeping people in jobs to avoid destroying lives.

It already has the HDD thing you can have up too 2 2TB drives on the Wii U. As for dev support quite a few indie titles get published on the console as its quite indie friendly.

I blame my attention span for not reading your entire post lol. I completely agree. We all read what we want to don't we?

[ThatAngryGnome]

Did you not hear about the salary cuts?

But the truth of the matter is that Nintendo isn't dead, nor are they dying. Linus has talked about this on multiple occasions. Their 3DS and Wii U are surprisingly well sold around the globe (although I personally feel that anything after the Wii kinda sucked).

Wot is pokemon

[Artorias]

However, you can confirm that this wouldn't be full games. This so called "games" that they will be releasing for the smartphones are just there to promote their own hardware products on the smartphone. Here's the link: http://www.theverge.com/2014/1/27/5352004/nintendo-reportedly-making-smartphone-mini-games

you know they litrally have billions of dollars right?

Yeah, that would be yet another great direction they could take. Honestly, I am just being a bit selfish. Nintendo has always been a favorite since it's the console I really grew up on. I may have been born in the Odyssey and Atari age, but it was Nintendo that my friends and I all spent a large portion of our childhood on. Would really hate to see them go the way of Sega and become a software dev only. =(

Yes sir, that we do. haha

This is exciting!

The website is offline? I checked it with http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com and it says that it is not just me!

Sweet. The LTT community has managed to unintentionally DDoS ANOTHER site.

No where does it say they're making games. 

 

For all we know they may be making companion apps, a Miiverse app, or an eShop app. 

 

Did one one even read this? http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/en/library/events/140130/03.html It's the source the article is using and no where does it state they're making smartphone games.

 

However, if you report that we will release Mario on smart devices, it would be a completely misleading statement. It is our intention to release some application on smart devices this year that is capable of attracting consumer attention and communicating the value of our entertainment offerings, so I would encourage you to see how our approach yields results.

I did not make the article, but it clearly says that the developers have free reign over what they develop. That could mean ANYTHING, including games. Some people are hoping they make games, some are hoping for other stuff. 

[DefinitelyNotAPedophile]

I know they're making their own os. It's gonna be awesome!! The hardware most likely won't be great but the experience will be

If they want money that bad they could sell the Monster Hunter franchise back to Sony. It would look much better on the vita. 

[Antistatic12]

If Nintendo released Smash Bros and Mario kart on PC/Xbone/360/PS4/PS3/PSVita it would sell like crazy. Provided it was priced accordingly.

I would love to see a Remake of a few N64 games.
