They already have a virtual console that plays old games. Still, I'm very much in favor of this idea.Roxor said:
Oh man, what an amazing and honest answer. Saying "If I didn't give a shit about Nintendo's future, I'd consider it" takes balls.

Well I have been hoping this to hapen since the N64 fiasco, yeah I know lots of people liked it but , I hated it I waited like a good fan boy for 2 years, bought it and regret about waiting 2 years for that piece of crap and ended buying a PSX, back to topic I really hope Nintendo went ahead and start developing for PS4( let's face it, Xbone is dead in Japan so there's no chance of that happening.) that way I wouldn't had to buy their st00pid consoles to play Zelda, Metroid, Nintendo ect.......
Yeah, we knew that. Just please make something interesting happen on any of your consoles. The new pokemon looks a bit like that with the mega evolutions, do more risky stuff, let me have fun playing your games again.
Translation for you guys:
"Satoru Iwata explains why Nintendo will eventually collapse in on itself."
Seriously, as Yahtzee said, "This world is not Nintendo's world anymore."
They need too either adapt or fade away, and it looks like it'll be the latter.

It goes to that Progress comment in the main article. Nintendo has made MASSIVE strides in terms of gameplay and technology. But that progress leaves the other game developers somewhat dumbfounded. With the Wii-mote and Second DS screen developers outside of Nintendo had no Idea what the hell to do. With a standard touchscreen gamepad unlike the peripheral ones on the PS4 and XBOne the Wii U can have some truely unique titles once developers wrap there head around the technology.MrHide-Patten said:
New Super Mario Bros U. I know it's smaller than say the big 3D Zelda or Mario but it is as Mario as Mario gets.Adon Cabre said:
Also Nintendo really hits it home with Second Party titles rather that the untamable beast the is the Third Party. Rare (once upon a time), Retro, Gamefreak. those guys. And for some current events, Possible Atlus.

In recent years, that progress tends to be gameplay mechanics and tech that very few beyond Nintendo themselves are actually using...Ken_J said:
So I think they might want to start thinking about progress in their IPs. Namely, letting them change the formula of the old ones... and getting new ones. Especially with how poorly the Wii U is doing. They need progress in software, not hardware.
Why do you think that? Both the Xbox 360 and the PS3 were sold at massive losses to make them appealing and the same will be true for the Xbox one and the PS4. The whole idea is that you sell the console at a loss and then make all your money back from selling games and whatnot, which both Nintendo and Sony have excellent positions for since they have so many exclusives. I haven't really played any Nintendo games since the gamecube, but it strikes me as being very stupid to suddenly put all their games on their competitors consoles.RJ 17 said:
I'm usually a pleasant person but this is one area where I feel like telling people to **** off. Nintendo makes there games for their Nintendo console, who knows what the long term future may hold but in the more immediate there's 0 chance of any of their first party games going finding their way to Sony or Microsoft.
Two things to note here. First, the article states that Nintendo is not making much money on the Wii-U, so they should port there games to the competitors to make up for it... exactly what games would those be? The primary reason the Wii-U is doing poorly right now is because Nintendo doesn't have many of their big games out yet. Once those games out Wii-U's will start selling, and Nintendo has never had a problem selling their big games. To suggest that they'd be better off releasing them to on a competing console is outright laughable, as with poor 3rd party support that's the only incentive to buy a Nintendo console which you'll be tossing out the window.
Second, and this is a very simply concept that people over look, Nintendo's weaker hardware consoles is perfectly adequate for playing Nintendo games. You don't need 8 GB of RAM and whatever ultra high end graphics card to play a Mario or Zelda game, developing them on a PS4 will net you pretty much zero improvements.

I want them to make it; Nintendo so contrasts that hyper-realism saturated into today's markets; but their own hardware, like the Playstation 3, seems to be the problem.Ken_J said:
Unfortunately, this 2013.
Dear Nintendo,
Just release more games already. The 3DS is finally coming good, with a bunch of great games to play, but the WiiU still sucks donkey penis.
'cos it has nothing worth playing.
With how slow you guys are at making games, it's a good thing you're not making games for other platforms ... 'cos then we'd never get to play anything at all.

Exactly, Nintendo's ip IS their brand. What Master Chief is to xbox, Mario is to Nintendo 10 fold. Nintendo knows they need to remain exclusive on their ip as a way to encourage sales of their consoles. If the Wii U sank with mario and co. why would it sell better if you could play those games on PC, PS or xbox? You don't see Disney selling Mickey Mouse to Warner Brothers and you don't see Warner Brothers selling Bugs Bunny, partly for tradition, mostly for dollars and cents.WeepingAngels said:
At least why they fail to me, personally.
They know that everyone would love for their Mario, Zelda, Metroid(would be so awesome on PC(the 3D FPS ones)) etc. to end up on other platforms.
But given the WiiU's current position, it's understandable that Iwata would say this.
It seems like the opposite to me. In the short term, they would lose money because they would have to sell their console based on its own merits, which means a failure for the WiiU. In the long run, they would make much greater profit from the copies sold on other platforms.
