Nintendo ain't about the money. The suits at the top are gamers themselves. Respect to Japan

Nope, they are about the dough. They are also great at getting it too.

They say this whole they let Namco and Ubisoft make games for them. Who made the last Smash Bros game again?

A guy that worked closely with Nintendo for decades has been the director of each Smash Bros game.

I think it is a great approach to avoid obsolence. If Ford truly viewed itself as a transportation company in the 1890s...

It's wild knowing that Nintendo was around at that time

They said if it's necessary. Wonder if they would buy Sega or just try to buy Sonic

They don't need that stuff on their handheld.

Nintendo is in a league of its own. Nintendo would have died long ago if it continued to compete with Sony & Microsoft. I imagine developing their games is much cheaper since they’re not trying to push their hardware to the limit thus their profit margins are likely ridiculously high. I wouldn’t change shyt either

You think Nintendo wasn't hand holding the process?

My point is if you're going to let external companies develop your software nothing is wrong with acquiring external companies. You let people not part of your DNA work on your IPs.

Acquiring developers or whole publishers the way Sony and Microsoft are and integrating them into Nintendo is different from the partnerships that Nintendo has with certain developers

Be who you are

This is what Sony Stan’s pretended Sony was about as well before they started celebrating the Bungie acquisition.

There's a big difference between cooperation on a project and acquisition to become a part of the company. Even the second party studios are homegrown.
