I'd like for them to do that. A western studio in particular, or create one in the west and allow them freedom like other studios have to do what they think the western market will enjoy.

I'd love for them to do something along the lines of this. Sega and Sony have done something like this too. It would help make some games more catered to the West.

omg lol

Who of you asked that question

 

[Nirolak]

Next Level already said they'll work exclusively for Nintendo. No need to owned then I think

On this note, you will notice that it's been a very long time since any console vendor has bought a game studio.

They will frequently close them, or sometimes open a brand new one, but almost never buy one.

One of the best things Sony did was develop western studios. They even had a studio like Naughty Dog go from Jak and Daxter to Uncharted.

Nintendo really needs to do this.

That's what I want to.

Or just buy off Capcom since they seem horrible at managing their IPs.

Edit) talking about NLG, isn't Nintendo's relationship with Mercury Steam another NLG situation?

 

[Not]

Now they're holding Nintendo's balls to the fire over cancelling the NES classic?

WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE

EDIT: Dodged just like the PC question

Nintendo did that too, it's just that they went from Metroid Prime to Donkey Kong Country -_-

 

[TheDinoman]

Maybe Microsoft is willing to sell some of those Rare IP's to Nintendo...

I'd love it but I sincerely doubt Nintendo would give a shit. They wouldn't really feel the need to buy out IPs like Banjo because they already have Mario and Donkey Kong for that kind of stuff, sadly.

That being said, I could see them maybe wanting something like Perfect Dark. They don't have a realistic FPS franchise on them, whereas those kind of games are a dime a dozen on Xbox.

 

[Vanillalite]

Worth noting Disney back in the day use to give perks to shareholders and some of them involved the parks.

 

[LordOcidax]

1 trillion yen lol

I wonder if Nintendo is going to buy off some game company in near future

Damn, thats almost 9 billion dollars in CASH... Fuck.

A14: Yamato: I can’t comment on specific cases w/out info material, but certain game licenses lapsed, old HW like Wii went offline, etc.

https://twitter.com/cvxfreak/status/880258651444748290

A14: Tanaka: Game makers decide for themselves when to stop selling games. Some taken down due to lack of revenue. Please ask each company.

 

[DecoReturns]

Nintendo did that too, it's just that they went from Metroid Prime to Donkey Kong Country -_-

Well DK Returns outsold the Prime Trilogy and that's what matter the most in the end.

You guys gotta stop the hate On DK

 

[kuroneko0509]

gotta close the q&a session with question like that......

 

[Nanashrew]

Last question.

https://twitter.com/cvxfreak/status/880259042672746496

Q15: Nintendo holds shareholder MTG on day other companies do. Makes it hard to attend others. Can you change dates?

(…………….)

 

[BRSxIgnition]

What a useless question to end on.

 

[Sponge]

Nintendo did that too, it's just that they went from Metroid Prime to Donkey Kong Country -_-

You say that like it's a bad thing

 

[clay_ghost]

Last question.

https://twitter.com/cvxfreak/status/880259042672746496

Ahh, I see that some of the old shareholders are still around.

 

[MR ARCADE FOREVER]

Some shareholder please ask what Retro is working on please... lol

 

[Josh7289]

These fucking questions lol

 

[Dark Cloud]

That's what I want to.

Or just buy off Capcom since they seem horrible at managing their IPs.

Edit) talking about NLG, isn't Nintendo's relationship with Mercury Steam another NLG situation?

I would think they could buy Capcom. I'm not sure though.

Nintendo did that too, it's just that they went from Metroid Prime to Donkey Kong Country -_-

Lol

I'd love it but I sincerely doubt Nintendo would give a shit. They wouldn't really feel the need to buy out IPs like Banjo because they already have Mario and Donkey Kong for that kind of stuff, sadly.

That being said, I could see them maybe wanting something like Perfect Dark. They don't have a realistic FPS franchise on them, whereas those kind of games are a dime a dozen on Xbox.

You said the "perfect" game. I was thinking Perfect Dark could be a nice IP to buy from MS if MS were willing to sell it.

 

[Not]

Aww that one shareholder had to ruin it for everyone

 

[CharminUltra]

So Mother 3 when?

 

[Richie]

Aww that one shareholder had to ruin it for everyone

All of the previous GAF-minded investors glaring at them at this moment

 

[HawthorneKitty]

So Mother 3 when?

Next week in games magazines.

 

[DecoReturns]

So Mother 3 when?

Confirmed for GBA classic in Japan

NA will get Advance Wars instead

A15: Kimishima: Revision in law makes this possible; we’ll look into it for next year and beyond. (cont’d)

https://twitter.com/cvxfreak/status/880260046763900929

A15: Kimishima: We want shareholders to gave enough time between MTG invite & date; sent invites on 6/7 for one day before the end of month.

 

[ggx2ac]

There's always that one shareholder that complains about having to attend shareholder meetings.

 

[J@hranimo]

That last question is real.

 

[mazillion]

The way they're talking it seems like virtual console wasn't a successful business model. The classic editions must be their latest attempt at making money off selling old games.

I am doubting the virtual console will ever return in its current form again.

 

[Nanashrew]

Q&A is now over

 

[Brenal]

On this note, you will notice that it's been a very long time since any console vendor has bought a game studio.

They will frequently close them, or sometimes open a brand new one, but almost never buy one.

i think Nintendo commented once about this and they said that buying a studio could frequently lead to the talent leaving the studio , and that is why they prefer to do 3rd party collaborations.

 

[Dark Cloud]

We started with a bad question and ended with a bad question lol.

 

[sinonobu]

We started with a bad question and ended with a bad question lol.

There were some great questions in between tho

 

[Brhoom]

Fucking buy Capcom.

Revive all the dead IPs.

Just. Do .It

It probably won't. Which is fine if they release NES and SNES compilations on Switch.

The hell? I left from Kansai this April and didn't see a Nintendo booth past customs!

 

[Dystify]

With some not so great non-answers unfortunately.

 

[James Scott]

(they're not going to buy Capcom)

 

[Nanashrew]

Piccolo would be proud of Kimishima's excellent dodging skills.

 

[Sponge]

If that happened, imagine if Nintendo lent out Okami or Viewtiful Joe to Platinum.

 

[Dark Cloud]

Yeah, the in between was good. I was some fast pass tickets for Super Nintendo World!

 

[kuroneko0509]

it was up recently, I think end of last month? or was it earlier this month? can't remember

 

[Galang]

I'm surprised a splatoon anime hasn't been mentioned. The name alone sells it

 

[James Scott]

There's a manga that doesn't look too good.
Maybe something eventually. Pretty shocked they haven't made more merchandise since they were caught with their pants down when Splatoon 1 blew up.
Should have some figma/SH Figure arts stuff in japan by now

 

[Not]

Splatoon would make a great cartoon

 

[samar11]

Around $8.9 billion in cash to prepare for the uncertain future, huh? All right.

Around the same as Sony, well just a bit more actually lol

 

[Gamecocks625]

The story to me is that the VC as we know it might not come to Switch. Potentially releasing physical collections of classics or single classics under a classics brand perhaps. Should be interesting.

 

[James Scott]

Around $8.9 billion in cash to prepare for the uncertain future, huh? All right.

If they had spent more of their warchest during Wii they wouldn't of survived Wii U, for example

I recall it dropped by a ton, but i guess it went back up?

 

[fly high ~ayunite~]

I wonder why Nintendo is taking so long with anime adaptions considering it only took little over a year for Pokemon to start its anime run after the launch of 1st gen in Japan.
