Damn, guess Nintendo really does want to be the Disney of vidya.
what
Nintendo started as a playing card company and multiple other ventures before video games so it's not really surprising they're thinking about changing their business.
>>338049665
>eating establishments
wait wut?
>>338050090
LOVE HOTELS obviously
>>338050090
I'm imagining getting more Mario crap in your happy meals
>When Nintendo are more interested in restaurants than actually making games
>>338050298
You're stupid if you actually think that.
>>338049665
That's not the issue, they're diversifying themselves. They have two big problems right now though
>diversifying this fucking late when Bamco is miles ahead of them
>mentioning that Shigeru Miyamoto will be responsible for the film business, healthcare business, and so on
Nintendo execs have let idiocy run wild with them all due to the blind and one hit wonder success of the Wii. Does that mean they won't get money? No they will. But all their products, whether it's a movie or a healthcare or a food establishment will be utter shut in quality
Think of a shitty non vidya product or service with a brand name. They'll be the king of that stupid mentality soon
I remember hearing about the medical initiative on a RFN podcast years ago. Something about sleep apnia machines and other small appliances with nintendo themes GUIs and such
>>338050391
Nintendo always releases quality products though
>>338050298
Just like everything else they make, it's destined to become shit!
They are incompetent hacks when it comes to their core business. Why do they believe they could run restaurant brands, hollywood movies and theme parks?
>>338050647
>They are incompetent hacks when it comes to their core business. Why do they believe they could run restaurant brands, hollywood movies and theme parks?
Brand name
They want to be the poor mans disney
>>338050289
>>338050162
I think that they are probably opening their OWN restaurants.
The Nintendo toys in Burger King or Mc Donalds have been a thing for years.

I can see it now.
>>338049665
I wonder how a Nintendo theme park would be like.
>>338050647
Because diversification is usually a smart idea.
>>338050978
What kind of partnership?
They already have their happy meal toys. I think that Nintendo wants to open their own restaurants.
Would be cool if that happens tbqh.
>>338050938
>yfw it's a F-Zero branded Rock and Roll Coaster
>>338050885
I do see this as a possible exit strategy and them transitioning to 3rd party, but god knows when that'll happen.

All the upper management should commit Sudoku already. Maybe let a westerner become president for once because the old japanese guys who run this company clearly don't know what the fuck they are doing.
>>338050647
>They are incompetent hacks when it comes to their core business. Why do they believe they could run restaurant brands, hollywood movies and theme parks?
Because they think having Shiggy on board will magically turn their ventures into diamonds and gold

>Maybe let a westerner become president for once

This is a bad idea, and you should be ashamed.
>Nintendo is trying to become the face of gaming with it's brand
I tought they already were the face of console gaming, if not in the way most fans would want it, but Nintendo is synonym of videogames.
This is all unnecessary, and it's just going to confuse people
>>338051134
>All the upper management should commit Sudoku already. Maybe let a westerner become president for once because the old japanese guys who run this company clearly don't know what the fuck they are doing.
This
China saved SNK. We need more foreign companies to save Japanese corps like Nintendo and SEGA.
In b4 Japanese can't be bought out by Americans meme; there's literally no such thing. It happens all the time in Japan and that meme started here and went to Neogaf
>>338051102
>I think that Nintendo wants to open their own restaurants.
doubtfull. They might buy shares on other franchises though.
We might see nintendo cereals and cookies too but I don't think they'll waste money in restaurants.
>>338051162
>>NO STORY OR ORGINAR CHARACTA; MAKE TOADS SCREAM MEMES AND MARIO GOING THRU WORLD 1 TO LAST WORLD AND SAVE PRINCESSU PEACH
When will this meme end? He's only opposed to story in Mario. Put him in charge of anything else and he wants story out the ass.
WE NEED MORE PACHINKO MACHINES

Reminder that Sega had a way out of collapse, but ignored the white man's advice.
>>338051302
He was partially the one behind the Pikmin shorts.
>>338050885
That's one more reason to keep living
>>338051134
It's not an east-west thing.
It's a literal MUH SENPAI HONORU bullshit that's ingrained in japs and chinks alike. New jobs don't open up by incompetence and firings like the west. They open up when the person literally dies. So we have a few decades before all the boomers clear out.
>>338050298
A restaurant/arcade combo could be pretty cool.
>>338051549
Like the great story that was the Starfox 64 retelling in SF Zero?
>>338051602
It's been known, but this is about them actually moving forward with those plans.
>>338051302
he loves stories and comics, just not in his games. But he pushed the pikmin shorts idea, and possibly the Star fox anime.

Yeah, partially the one behind cartooney short animations.
Not films.

Japan is already declining anyways. Society and culture has fucked so many other areas in Japan; sane Japanese people are actually fleeing there to come to the USA
I spoke with a Japanese couple once here in the NY though they live in NJ. They told me how fucked up it is over there; how people are expected to overwork themselves under idiotic Japanese businessmen, how they've lost their sense of culture, etc.
Japan still has this sense "Danny Devito/Matilda" complex of "I'm right and you're not because I said so and don't dare question my authority" mentality. It's ducking scary
>>338051963
>mexican bootleg food industry collapses
What?
>>338051549
>He's only opposed to story in Mario
What about how Koizumi had to sneak story into his early Zelda titles?
Sticker star counts as well, it's mario but it's an RPG.
>>338051739
It feels like Nintendo regressed, though. Just compare Yamauchi-Nintendo with Iwata-Nintendo. They became more close minded and japano centric with every passing year.
>all this mad
Why are people so upset at a business diversitying?
>>338051740
if thats at all possible it will be japan only
>>338051615
wait what, mind telling the story?
>>338052002
Can confirm, I live in Mexico and a Japanese family just moved to my neighborhood recently.
is "article of incorpation" a real thing with a meaning in business or is it a fancy name for their meeting subject?
I hope they make lots of spaghetti
> it's a /v/ pretended to understand a single thing about business and forecasts the doom of nintendo episode
>you lived to see nintendo commit sodoku
It will be the most relevant news theyve been in for a while now.
>>338052136
Yamauchi was a fucking hard ass that involved himself with whether or not he likes a game by looking at real time gameplay and occasionly playing it himself. He made people go back and do it again if he didn't like it
He also had Shiggy under a leash; which is why Miyamoto was quoted saying he didn't like the SNES and N64 Era.
Unlike Iwata, Yamauchi was an educated businessman through the school of hard Knox. Son of a bitch went through the wars and worked with gaijans; he understood how others saw things. It's why he hired that one old NoA boss who was a Japanese American. Forgot his name desu
>>338052151
Because you should do that at a stage where you're already pushing out a decent amount of products in your specific field.
>>338052389

>>338052151
Because it's a result from sheer incompetence. After a decade, Nintendo now realize they suck at what they do and now they have to try something else.
>>338052151
Because we know that Nintendo doesn't have the mind, nor the means to do this at this stage. It's just overreaching.
It's just like fucking Inafune and all his bullshit.

all the articles of incorporation state do is set up nintendo in the future to diversify if they so choose, it's not a 100% guarantee, but legally speaking you have to do it pave the future. that doesn't mean they're going to open up 5000 restaurants and theme parks and movie studios tomorrow

>>338052996
really? even with the meme pic it wasn't enough? you augh'ta lurk moar
the fact of the matter is, nintendo is going nowhere, because their #1 resource has always been family & kids
it's an infinite resource. kids will always love zelda, pokemon, mario kart and shit when they're growing up and they'll have fond memories of it and their kids will have new nintendo game 20XX when they raise them
>>338052953
the problem with those partnerships is that most partners arent worldwide and you'd end up with having small shitty deals for each country which isn't that profitable.
>>338051457
Uh Sony is the face of gaming
I don't know if you know this, but Sony already has theme parks, toys, and restaurants, so Nintendo will lose anyway.
>>338052682
They certainly don't make it sound like that. Aside from that, while Japan loves them some Fire Emblem, the general populous of the US and other western countries only associates Mario, Zelda and Pokemon with Nintendo. Trying to bank on name brand alone these days is suicide.
>Hey guys, let's license out Zelda and Mario to general mills for a cereal again. Remember when we did that? Surely people will buy it in droves and GM won't drop us.
Sure they will make money in the short term, but the brand name will suffer and people will consider Nintendo more of a joke then they do now.
>>338052452
No, you do this when you know change is needed to stay relevant.
Look at Disney, what they did when they saw how much Pixar was fucking up and their own internal studios were collapsing?
Buy Marvel, Buy Lucas, fire half of its internal studio, change many fucking positions in it, hire new talent that brough new hits like Frozen and Zootopia.
What I am trying to say is that a company has 2 options when they are falling apart, sell out, or bring massive change.
Now I am not saying Nintendo is doing it right, they are keeping the same people in power for what we know(except for the president), but all this could mean that new leads, directors, people in command will show up soon and hopefully make a Disney level change.

Mobile gaming has pretty much replaced handheld gaming in the eyes of investors and "gamers" (if you want to call them that)
Sony is still the king of gaming in Asia, Africa, Middle East, and Europe.

ummm...you just proved my point
MS was only an OS company, now look at them. In fact, many people were making fun of MS when they first tried the xbox in 2000, now look at them
Sony made radios and tape recorders. Now they have music and a film studio on top of their video games
Disney was just a animation studio, marvel just made comic books, amazon just sold books, etc, etc
Diversifying is never a bad idea.
> Nintendo has been failing at everything they do for a while now and branching off into new stuff to fail at too is dumb.
They haven't been failing at everything. The WiiU isn't selling to hardcores like xbone/ps4 but what else is new? They've been going for the casual family audience for a decade now

This
I've said this before in a previous thread and I'll say it again. Nintendo's old Japanese men and their stubborn mentality is what's going to throw this company into hell. Not financial hell, but into our own hell. They won't be the Nintendo we once loved
Disney is the king of cartoon animation. Until this day, they still are; it's been their MAIN PRODUCT FOCUS. From there they've successfully branched out while making top notch animation.
Nintendo on the other hand has keep fucking with us. They made a half baked console with stupid limitations from social to technological. They've fucked up some games way too many times and aren't stopping. Now they want to branch out.
Will that stop making them money? No, but they'll be a poor mans Disney until they pivot industries or merge with another company or sell themselves out to a bigger one

Sony is the king of the Middle East though. No one there knows what the fuck a Mario or Kirby is. Yet they all know Kratos and Nathan Drake. I've middle eastern friends back there and been to UAE. Nintendo is basically a relic like Atari there
They should have made this 20 years ago
Typical Japanese always traditional and slow to new opportunities
If nintendo was american they would be a multimedia empire by now
>>338054181

>>338049665
I mean, both Sony and Microsoft have different branches, they don't produce only videogames.
So I don't see how's a bad thing. Nintendo never stopped producing hanafuda card for a century, they won't stop making videogames either.

This. It's way to late to be doing this shit. It won't take with people, esspecially so much so soon. If Nintendo was like.
>Hey, we are making a theme park. Come see it.
And that became a success, then they could see about other things, like a movie division.
It's this all at once shit that's the problem. Even then, I could see it working if there was a massive restructuring within the company, but they are keeping the people that are running them into the ground.

>>338053907
Once again the diffrence is that those companies were already successful. Nintendo has been shitting themselves lately so bad that this is clear they dont know what the fuck to do with games anymore so they want to get into other ventures.
>>338054715
More like branching out at this point when you haven't made the main product you put out, quality games/systems; is a stupid idea and we don't like it
>>338054794
Nah its never too late they will see plenty of profits from this.

I feel like they've missed the window when this stuff would actually be the most profitable. They should have been rolling this stuff out in 2011 when they were actually popular and had normie casuals eating out of their hand, not 2016 when their popularity is at pretty much an all time low.

Right... Sure, people bought it. But, I don't know anyone that still uses it. Is it still used in Japan?
Everyone wanted to try it because it was still part of the Wii fad. After it faded, everyone forgot about it. If it didn't stick, it wasn't a proper success.
>>338055114
Growing up a Nintendofag, I believed it. The thing is, in my opinion, it's still true. PSX had a fuckton of games, and quite a few great ones, and N64 was quality over quantity in every way possible, for me anyways. Especially when it came to multiplayer. Shit like Mario Kart, Smash Bros, Mario Tennis and Perfect Dark were head-and-shoulders above any multiplayer PSX stuff.
And for me, the single-player, first party efforts for the N64 are some of the finest in their series. The N64 may not have had as broad an appeal as the PSX, but for those it was targeting, it was an absolute smash hit.

It isn't really. People still buy Nintendo themed items like shirts and backpacks. It's never too late to do it as long as they do it well.

Not for the purposes that Nintendo wanted it. If you want to create the idea that Nintendo can be about fitness, then people have to take that seriously and actually use the darn thing. My parents bought that darn thing to use. Used it for a week and forgot about it, because they considered it a game and not about health.
If Nintendo can't convince people to take their health talk seriously, then they won't be able to convince Health Care Professionals to license their IPs for shit.
>>338056205

>This thread
I have a question to the people claiming loom and doom as well as those who are arguing with the Nintendo drones
WHY DO YOU CARE
If Nintendo has been fucking up and their die hard fans won't admit it, why would you argue with them on an anonymous image board? Just say you're tidbit and leave; arguing your point of view with die hard fans won't win you any conversions or points
Seriously. I don't agree with what Ninty is doing now and see a flop coming but I respect those who have a differing opinion than me. Note I said OPINION; because no matter how hard these drones fight back im standing by what I know.
Seriously if anything you all should be having fun and poke fun at Nintendo for doing this. But getting angry? It seems like you guys like Nintendo more than the die hard cry babies that defend this company do.
Just let it go

That Marvel section actually has a lot of rides, including the park's most famous roller coaster, the Hulk.

If anything, the opposite is happening.
They are actually finishing up renovating the Hulk coaster after adding a bunch of new shit.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=i9Th3Gnd6zQ
>>338059216
The hulk part makes sense since Universal still retains ownership of a lot of the Hulk. I wonder about the rest of the Marvel area though.
>>338053051
>>338058234
Both of these are false.
The Nintendo expansion is pretty big, probably around the size of the second harry potter expansion they did (though not as big as the first) but it's ONLY in Universal Studios Japan for right now. They will gauge the success of that in Japan to decide on whether they want to bring it to the US or not.
It will be completed in Japan in 2020. If it's widely successful, another deal could be made to have it be completed in the US by like 2026. They're likely testing the waters to see if they want to sell the Marvel theme park rights back to Disney, since they currently aren't allowed to expand anyway and are unable to make new Marvel based rides (or any refurbishments related to the MCU for that matter) to capitalize off of the MCU success.
>>338049665
This is not good news. The best thing about Nintendo is that they're an actual games company.
Sony is a hardware company, and Microsoft is a software company, that decided to diversify into computer games because it was sort of related to what they do, but you can always tell their origins. Sony and Microsoft don't really care about the games, which is why they have such a strong third party focus. They're all about providing a platform so they can benefit from other people's work. Nintendo has very firmly been a game company. They provide a platform so they can provide games for it. Variety is good for the industry. It's a good thing that we have different companies with different priorities.
Oh well. Get ready for Nintendo to become yet another fuckhuge conglomerate. Hope you're looking forwards to "Sages' Choice Old Folk's homes" and "Super Mario Burger".

No, but they will claim KingdomHearts3 is a "sony game", same for FF and many other current multiplats
Sony doesn't have a single killer exclusive, (well, other than GranTurismo which sells at least 10 million units with every main entry), but Sony's recognition comes from various IPs, no matter if they are exclusive anymore.
At least in my EU country moms and news call every other console a playstation. You could be playing a 3DS and your grannie will tell you to "stop playing that playstation thing already!" or you see news about whichever other console and the news presenter will say "It's like the playstation, but (...)"
Playstation has always been the "everything" console and is associated with almost every IP outside of nintendo's/MS's exclusives. DMC, MGS, FF, KH and most other jap games
>>338050885

Nintedo should do like Disney and create a separate studio for the adult oriented material so normies don't directly associate the panties to their name, while still making money out of it. all that censorship is because their marketer fear the association of the games with their name after all.
>>338055568
Nigger what are you smocking
You are fully aware you were a complete fanboy and biased about that era and even still you think it's true.
PS1 has BOTH quantity and quality. It spawned many new amazing IPs and sequels. Just because they don't have nintendo mascots doesn't mean they aren't as memorable for those who played it.
PS1 has more classics than N64. I can recall maybe 10 great N64 games but those would be it. On the other hand I can think of 30 PS1 classics and many other that I wouldn't consider classics but were fucking amazing still.
What N64 had, perhaps, is more mainstream impact with a couple of games, such as zelda and mario, which every major publication mentions at least every year on the top 10 of top100 lists.
But I get equally as nostalgic about FFtactics, Valkyrie Profile, Vagrant Story, FF7... fuck I need to stop. It's just that most PS1 classics remained more niche relative to N64's, perhaps because there were more of them.
>>338063408
Nothing in the image is wrong. It was released on a sony system exclusively.
Later it came out on PC.
One could argue that launch windows are important. As S&S laucnhed during the month-long wait for DaS3 just at the perfect time to play it. Now it's still a nice experience and all, but it isn't killing time for DaS3's launch. I'd argue that's an imporant factor
Either way, list is still not wrong. Who knows, in 6 months some other game in it could be ported, in 3 years another one. No one knows, so that's why it specifically says "Releases" and not "games"
>>338051740

>>338063610
Thats what they tried in the late 90s until Iwata decided to cut all ties in early 2000s.
Now its too late to go for that, Nintendo hardware has that baby games stigmata attached to them and just making M rated games wont help, see Bayonetta, Ninja Gaiden 3 RE and so on they scored on their platform, which all failed horribly.
And there is the thing that nintendo isnt known for their good jugdements when it comes to that market, e.g. see Geist, where the devs made a game that was well received until Nintendo came and said "No you cant do that, scrap everything and shift focus away from fighting" or Nintendo telling DMA Designs to fuck off after they saw Body Harvest, a critically acclaimed title, and stopped their partnership with them( DMA Design then went to playstation and supprise supprise the game they made for it was GTA, one of the biggest video game IPs ever).
>>338063807
You're delusional if you don't think that Ocarina of Time, Mario 64, weren't important milestones in game history, something which can't be said about Digimon Legend of Legaia and I'd argue about the importance about FF episodes post 7.
Resident Evil and Silent Hill set new standards for games genre, most games on your list didn't. You can like Crash Team Racing as much as you can, it remains a racing party game that came after Super Mario Kart and that tried to catch its light, instead of standing on its feet by itself.
>>338055568
The few good games the N64 had were legendary great. Pretty much anything by Nintendo & Rare, Mischief Makers, Bomberman 64, the Star Wars titles, and a few others that were available on other platforms...the rest was ass.
