What if Nintendo, instead of releasing another home console, released a digital distribution platform for PC?
Perhaps one that's compatible with smartphones too.
Something that can be played on different platforms, I do not know.

What if OP, instead of being a fag, made a good thread?
Perhaps one that had a chance of actually happening realistically.
Something that would spark actual good discussion, I do not know.

SO you want them to release all their games on JAVA?
What if Sony, instead of releasing another home console, released a digital distribution platform for PC?
Perhaps one that's compatible with smartphones too.

how's your first day on 4chan?
I'll indulge your dumb idea though OP. If Nintendo backed out of the hardware market, you wouldn't want their games - trust me. Aside from the Wii U because of how much of a stunning failure it was, Nintendo has /ALWAYS/ made profit off of their hardware unlike other companies who do not. Nintendo's entire economic model is built on earning through both software and hardware, something that other companies in the industry simply don't tend to do. By removing the hardware aspect, you're removing a giant chunk of Nintendo's typical income stream, which is only hurting the company.
One other thing Nintendo prides itself on is games tailor made for their hardware. They make games that push the envelope, not only because they want to show off their hardware, but because their hardware is custom-made for their development teams so they can squeeze more out of it. You remove the hardware from the equation and you not only remove one of their incentives for making uniquely creative games, but you also remove the edge they have - most of their development teams probably wouldn't even know how to properly optimize games for something as widely varied as the PC market.
So what you get is a Nintendo that has less money to pour into their games, less incentive to push their development teams to the limit (since they're not relying on software to sell hardware), and a far weaker understanding of the platform they are creating for.
You know how SEGA turned pretty mediocre after they went third-party? Imagine that but tenfold. Nintendo might not be doing well but this is not the answer

You are talking to children 95% of the time.

What Mario game was this? I got it on a shareware disc once and haven't been able to find it again. It was peak uncanny-valley shit.
