That's why DeNA won't let them. The rumour doesn't say exclusive anyway.Amazon exclusive mobile games would be a colossal misstep. Talk about eliminating a huge chunk of possible money.
Nintendo, the company that just signed a theme park agreement with Universal, is now going in with Disney.
OK.
Yep, basically this.
Disney is very mellow with theme parks right now while Universal is going all out.
Disney probably wanted some kind of working together without any (or very little plans) for theme parks things, so Universal came along, gave them a better plan and Nintendo went along with them for theme parks, while still giving the rights for everything else (movies, games and toys) to Disney.
It happened with harry potter (minus disney getting anything becuase they basically said to JK Rowling, fuck you we are not making a whole theme park for you) but the movie rights are still Warners while universal has the rides.
Reading the original article, going by Google Translate (I know), it seems that Amazon would be IN ADDITION to iOS and Android, not that their games would be Amazon only. Better wait for someone who is actually spanish to get a better picture.
This is the article with the new stuff, btw

Spanish was my first language, so here's my translation of the Amazon tidbits:
-When Iwata announced their new mobile initiative, Amazon approached them and told them they wanted Nintendo's games on Amazon's app store too
-Iwata liked the idea, and asked Amazon if it would be possible to get Amazon's appstore games running on Nintendo's own hardware
-Nintendo's games would be on Amazon's appstore day 1, or at least close to the same day as on other appstores
-Nintendo has some sort of Android emulation in mind. Their hardware won't be running Android games natively.
I'm just translating, so don't come after me if this all turns out to be BS ;P
Could actually be an awesome outcome.Lol. Who knows.
Disney should just buy Nintendo
Three big rumors about the amiibo expansion have reached Revogamers through our collaborator ricardo2001, always well-informed and with connections inside the videogame industry.
According to his amazon contacts, Nintendo is preparing to expand his amiibo reach for the next year with deals with third parties. They have two main intentions, bring iconic characters to its consoles, like Sonic from SEGA and Pac-Man for Bandai-Namco, and to bring their NFC-based figures to the other developers that work on them, like Skylanders from Activision and Disney Infinitive from Disney Interactive.
But its not only that, according to his sources, the release date for the first wave of toys od 2015 its already set, and they are going to start releasing the bad guys from the game.
This are the rumors ricardo2001 is telling us:
1.- The third wave is releasing on Febrary.
2.- Villains are coming, like Wario. Pac-Man and Sonic are releasing too.
3.- Nintendo wants amiibo to be compatible with Skylandres and Disney Infinity in 2015
None of this rumors have been confirmed by Nintendo or another official source.

Disney is very mellow with theme parks right now while Universal is going all out (avatar land was a fuking mistake that are going to bite them in the ass, and they are still building shangai disneyland, so ther are no near future theme parks plans for them).

If any of this is true then it is a huge MEGATON.
Nintendo x Amazon could turn the gaming industry on it's head.

"Hopefully, the day Mario meets Mickey Mouse is not that far away," Disney Interactive vice president of production John Vignocchi said in an interview.
Wait, Kingdom Hearts-like game with Mario?- Disney wants a game where Mario and Mickey meet up
the "NOT GONNA HAPPEN" at this point are kinda funny
this is new Nintendo and has been for a while now
"mobile games? lol not gonna happen"
"theme park? lol not gonna happen"
they're teaming up with everyone and doing everything. This wouldnt surprise me in the slightest
Kingdom Hearts 3 NX port with exclusive Mushroom Kingdom world?
Is it implying that it would be exclusive to the Amazon app store or that Nintendo would still release on iOS and Android's appstore, but that the Amazon app store games would be made available on Nintendo's hardware?
además de las tiendas de Google y Apple, sus juegos para móviles estarán en la tienda de Amazon, si no el primer día, no mucho después.
Ridley, for the love of rides, translate the article. I summon thee!
So, full translations from yours truly:
This article is seven months old, but has information to be revealed if the rumors are true
Also take into account this rumor was released before any of this information was known, so the source was right in almost everything up until now except the DI deal, who has not been confirmed yet.
I am working in the second translation for the article that was released today

What's Warren Spector up to these days?
There's no implication of exclusivity in the article. It explicitly mentions that Amazon would be in addition to Apple and Google:
The bolded means "in addition to the stores of Google and Apple."
The weird thing is, if you watch LAST year's E3 Digital presentation, when Reggie first announced Amiibo, he said there would be special, exclusive functionality with Disney Infinity, and we haven't heard anything since.
Also, the whole thing with Mickey meeting up with Mario was based on recent comments by Disney Intereactive
Taken from here:
http://www.ign.com/articles/2015/06/16/e3-2015-disney-wants-to-see-mickey-mouse-meet-mario.
Still, this is pretty nuts!
What's Warren Spector up to these days?
Hopefully not involved
Lol. Who knows.

I was actually thinking this should/could happen.
Rides - checkIt almost feels like the Disney ship has sailed with Universal and Skylanders partnerships showing up.
Was thinking the same, that would be really glorious.
Also, Mario and Zelda animated movies by Walt Disney Animation Studios please.

What Iwata understanded at the end, is that for the company to survive anything that comes along, it has to be basically Disney.Nice, that could be huge then. Nintendo would be able to fill their console with their own mobile games as well as ports from other mobile games, while still being available on the iOS and Android stores.
Still not sure what to think of it but, Nintendo has made a lot of changes and I think they realize they need to continue to evolve to be a major player in the industry.
Also, Mario and Zelda animated movies byWalt Disney Animation StudiosPIXAR please.
Nintendo Avengers.
Um, Reggie literally announced that there would be Amiibo functionality with Skylanders and Disney Infinity when Amiibos were revealed

It just took it a bit to actually show up
Doesn't nintendo have a shareholder meeting sometime soon? Maybe we could get some details on this (if it's true).
I don't know why people keep assuming that a MarioXMickey crossover would be a Kingdom Hearts equivalent (Mushroom Hearts). Square Enix was allowed access to Disney properties, and developed the game within a genre they know best; RPGs. If we are to assume Nintendo will do the same, then a platforming game (preferably 3D) is what should be expected.
