Oh, so that's why Pachter owns a Multi-Million Dollar Dreamfactory...
oh wait a second...

Oh shit imagine Pokemon Red/Blue on Iphone for free and then Nintendo going the Candy Crush rout. 20 pokeballs for $5! Bleh.

I think I'd literally vomit on every gaming-related item I own for a month straight if I saw that.

Literally.

Pachter is on the money. Iwata is the head of a publicly traded videogame company, and right now it appears he doesn't care about the console business. Honestly, it's getting to the point of almost making no sense at all. Iwata has all these valuable assets - being his first party brands - and he isn't doing anything with them.
Besides selling the brand rights to other companies - I bet Pachter would also be content with Nintendo at least putting their games on a console that has up to date hardware that people would actually be purchasing.
More importantly - when are Nintendo shareholders going to say "enough"?

The vast majority of Nintendo shareholders has no voting rights. And we should all be thankful for that, or they might actually do stupid shit like the stuff you describe.

I don't know why people pay him any attention. He just speaks nonsense. How the hell would you insert microtransactions into existing ROMs of old games without serious effort? Not to mention it'd likely just break the design of the game's mechanics.

They've actually planned out phones in the past, though, I don't see much of an advantage for them to do one these days.
Sure as hell didn't work out for Sony.

Sony's phone is the Playstation All-Star Battle Royale to a potential Super Smash Bros that Nintendo's phone could be.

Still, you're probably right, considering Nintendo can't seem to properly release their back catalog on their existing platforms. A phone would have just as bad an eShop as the 3DS and Wii U do now.

What do you suggest?

The WiiU's performance and Iwata's employment is an ongoing topic, but we really don't need a new thread every day or two when there's nothing new about the situation. Pachter has shared his opinion about Nintendo many times before, and people here have responded to it. Unless there is something new about the situation we don't need a new thread every day or two when there's nothing new about the situation. Pachter has shared his opinion about Nintendo many times before, and people here have responded to it. Unless there is something new about the situation we don't need to recycle the same topic again anytime soon.
