from nintendo's 2016 company book
>>332192293
every day is more confirmed that the NX will be very related to smartphones
the next 3ds will probably be a phone/tablet like
>>332192860
I dont see it.
>not one mention of games or wanting to make good ones
I guess it's time to pack up and become a sonypony because it's all 'innovation' with products and services with games being the last priority from here on out.
>>332192860
How?
>>332192293
>Therefore, Nintendo change our forms flexibility with the times
I heard of this before, it didn't end well.
>>332193665
>our new challenges are: smartphones, amiibos, theme parks (text from the image)
>>332193940
But how is that an indicator that the NX is a smartphone? it's just business expansion
>>332193990
Notice how the paragraph that starts by mentioning the NX, their 'totally new concept' and segues into their expansion strategy. The NX is their expansion strategy and it being a smartphone is their first line item.
>our mission is to surprise customers
>the same entertainment as one in the past have no value
They are abandoning traditional dedicated consoles.
They announced NX specifically to denounce that theory.
It's definitely a gaming console, but I think it 's one that will be designed to appeal to mobile users in some way.
Where did Nintendo go wrong and why was it with Iwata?
>>332192293
>Our new challenge is (i) one thing that nobody wants, (ii) another thing that nobody wants, and (iii) a third thing that nobody wants
just kill me now
>>332194331
I love how you take a badly translated sentence and then argue about it meaning shit.
You are, without a doubt, a retard
>>332192293
>Machine translate a japanese speech
>Argue stupidly about it.
Not today
>>332196246
>nobody wants nintendo theme parks
are you SHITTING me you piece of shit i wil literally lap that shit up
>>332196585
>Not today
250+ replies, I'm calling it
>>332192293
There is a reason why Iwata was killed.
He was the only one holding the mobile cancer away.
>>332196943
I bet you also think the Yakuza killed Gunpei Yokoi.
>>332192293
>"Particularly, based on past strategy, "Expand Game Population," we will focus on, "Expand Population Interested in Nintendo IP." Our new challenge is (i) game business on smart device, (ii) advancement on amiibo in a shape of figure or card with Nintendo characters, and (iii) offering attractions in theme park with our characters.
HAHAHAHAHA oh my god nintendo is a cancerous husk.
If you STILL cared about nintendo as it pertains to videogames, you can stop now. they're trying to be the Japanese Disney.
>yfw every major game dev is now officially anti-consumer
It's fucking over. All everyone cares about now is 'muh extra $$$'.
>>332197173
Wait, they didn't?
>>332197496
He was killed in an unfortunate vehicular accident.
>>332196943
Iwata already did a lot of damage to Nintendo, in fact the only reason mobile is considered is because that's where the Wii audience went.
If Iwata wasn't such s fuckwad and made a real console instead of gimmicks and chasing blue oceans, mobile would only be considered to replace handhelds, not their entire system
>>332196246
>nobody wants nintendo theme parks
Nigga me and my brother have been wanting that shit since like 1992
fuck outta here with your sorry born in 1998 ass
>>332192293
>theme park
Why is this a priority for them? Theme parks are a money pit unless you're Disney.
If Nintendo really wanted to expand their business outside of video games, and had any clue about how the world currently works, they would get into the movie business. CG cartoon films in particular fucking print money. A Super Mario Bros. CG movie would probably make a billion dollars, and I'm not even exaggerating.
>>332197339
>Japanese Disney
they already are in a lot of ways. One of the most important parts of Disney is the image and very distinct emotional brand they have cultivated. I mean think about it, you very rarely see major multi-million dollar companies with such a readily recognizable "image". It just so happens one of those rare occurrences is Nintendo.
As a player im horrified, but at the same time from a busibness perspective i really cant blame them. If i were Nintendo i would sure as shit start modeling myself after Disney since its obviously a great model abd the hardest part of making the image is already done.
>>332197828
Because Nintendo isn't paying to build the theme park retard.
It's called expansion.
>>332197828
Also, Nintendo said they are loosening up their grip on their IPs and will allow Nintendo movies.
>>332197402
and we applaud them.
>>332197402
That image sums up everything.
The future is now truly indie pixelshit...
>>332197670
>and chasing blue oceans,
Please explain how chasing a blue ocean in a declining industry is a bad thing. Wii U was a failure largely due to Nintendo jumping back into the red ocean, with Sony and Microsoft.
>>332197906
Yeah? Why don't you point out where they said they're going to license rides or characters to an existing theme park, RETARD?
>>332198293
OK

> Nintendo and Universal Parks & Resorts today announced plans to bring the world of Nintendo to life at Universal theme parks – creating spectacular, dedicated experiences based on Nintendo’s wildly popular games, characters and worlds.
>>332198221
I don't think it was a bad decision, but I think the lack of horsepower in the Wii, the lack of a regular controller in the box, lackluster online, and the types of customers the Wii attracted left Nintendo very poorly positioned and prepared to take the next step into high-definition and maintain the Wi''s momentum.
>>332197616
Yeah that's how they called it back in the day. Now it's called "cancer".
>>332198372
>Universal
They'd make a whole lot more money partnering with Disney.
>>332198535
Universal more than likely would pay more for the rights than Disney.
Is history repeating itself?
Here we go again...
>>332198293
>being this dumb and proud of it
lel
>>332198535
Universal seems more desperate to get a Nintendo deal and Disney Parks right now is overfilled with too many shit like SW and Marvel. Nintendo would not stand out compared to those.
>>332198221
WiiU was a failure due to bad marketing.
If they just called it the Wii 2 and advertised it more it would have done just fine.
>>332198535
Idk. Isn't Disney kind of controlling? It seems like Nintendo would get more control, and maybe a better deal over all, than Disney.
>>332198535
Didney wouldn't want them, short of outright purchasing the company.
>>332194331
Iwata himself confirmed that the NX is not a smartphone, are you mental?
>>332198521
Ever been to Asia? It's pretty easy to get killed by a car/vespa.
>>332192293
>40 entries in and people are already bashing the Wii
Just like watchwork
>>332199612
So why don't you do that?
>>332193583
I haven't even read the whole thing yet and I've already seen "game" 3 times.
>>332199019
>If they just called it the Wii 2 and advertised it more it would have done just fine.
It would have done better, but I don't think it would have hit even Gamecube levels. There was a fundamental problem that many of core gamers who picked up a Wii as a side console didn't like it all that much, and many of the non-gamers that bought it never took that next step into becoming regular game buyers.
>>332193990
i dont say it will be literally a smartphone, a hombe console that probably will interact with smartphones in some kind of way
>>332192860
Nintendo isn't Sony. They would NEVER EVER betray their customers.
>>332193583
>their goal isn't to make good games it's to tell you why there good
>>332192293
So quantity of interest over quality of games?
>>332199019
This >>332199697
It should have been a complete rebrand, with heavy marketing to distance itself from the Wii whilst advertising games like W101, Bayo2, ZombiU into the ground in order to distance itself from the "kiddieshit" stigma they've gained from the Wii era.
>getting rid of difficulty...is irreplaceable
NX confirmed for failure.The whole thing needs to be translated better.
