No comment on the Netflix series/shorts. When Microsoft unveiled their so-called water cooler, they announced the same thing about a revolutionary Halo show. I guess it's Nintendo's way of keeping up.
Not 100% sure what this new "quality of life platform" will do though ("analyse your sleep patterns"?) but it seems like Nintendo is going all in with it. Apparently they are more psyched for it than for the Wii U.

I haven't read up at all on this.
So I have no idea, I guess I'll wait and see what it does and after it conquers the world I'll just silently become a minion of Nintendo and continue playing they're games when I'm not searching for scraps of PC to burn in the streets.

Sooooo, more gimmicks, more exploitation of exsting IP, more game-to-film adaptations?
Same shit, different day.

For the past 2 decades, Nintendo seeme to be content with continually bashing their head against the same brick wall....Do you what nikola Tesla said about Thomas Edison?

They had a few mario shows and the like in the 90's, suppose it's not too different from that. I guess they had to with the Wii u performing a lot worse than they want it to.
That Netflix series is probably a rumor made for someone to read wild forum posts over the weekend. I doubt Nintendo would do anything in live action, even Zelda, without building up their multimedia presence first. Also, we've already had people complain about Link possibly speaking. (Even though he is the players' "link" in the games and still communicates through grunts, psyonic melding, text boxes chosen by the player, and unspoken (as in not displayed in the text box) dialog.) That alone splits the fanbase in stupid ways that make a show risky.
The Pikmin shorts might have been the only way Miyamoto could do more things with the Pikmin universe without waiting serveral years for another game to be greenlit. It might have also been a marketing tactic to get people interested in Pikmin 3, as the demo for it went live soon after the shorts. (And as usual for Nintendo, their advertising efforts were months overdue.)
The quality of live platform seems to have them stoked. I don't know what they have planned past sleep monitors, but hopefully they aren't once again concentrating on just the Japanese market. It might be quite a shock to them if their products collect dust on the store shelves because, outside of their home country, their existing fans want games (And not more fucking Mario, thank you very much, Nintendo.) and the soccer moms and older customers that might have heard of the Wii, if not owned it, have already forgot what a "Nintender" is. It just feels weird to have them gushing about something non-game related, especially when they don't even give us many details. (Also, they might have to actually advertise whatever this program is going to produce, because otherwise, without even viral marketing on health and social sites, it will do worse than the Wii U.)

I really think the Netflix series will never be made. What I would really like them to do is partner with Tell Tale and do a story set during the seven years Link was dormant in Ocarina of Time, as we play as random civilians from each race trying to survive as Ganondorf slowly begins his campaign over Hyrule and we play as the citizens that are hopelessly trying to survive, some fleeing the land others hiding and forming alliances to try and survive a bleak and brutal one sided war.
still I like the fact they're diversifying more, fingers crossed for a Mario CGI Big Hero 6 style movie
