I think Nintendo should buy a phone manufacturer like HTC and make a Nintendo Phone, like Sony did (although Sony already had a cellphone division). They should NOT develop for the iPhone though.

NO! It would be terrible! It'll be directed toward kids, and that means....

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

EDIT: I have made the NOOOOOOOO shorter.

No, that's why I love Nintendo, they don't sometimes don't make stupid mistakes, such as making games on a smartphone or an IOS.
So yeah, Nintendo making games for the IOS= bad idea.

Oh come on. I respond to what you said about SEGA then you quote me, but you actually somehow manage to miss what I said so you just go and restate what you said before. I should not have to repeat myself.

Let me reiterate. Going by what you've said, Nintendo should make a "planned transition" from being a first party to becoming a third party. Apparently, you believe Nintendo can do just as well if they "cut their losses" and stop developing consoles only to support Sony. In actuality, If Nintendo where to drop console development and just become a video game producer they would lose console sales, 3rd party support, 2nd party support, have to pay portions of their money to Sony and give Sony licensing to their franchises allowing Sony rights to Nintendo's creations. Nintendo would ultimately lose billions and have to resort to allowing M$ third party support as well. More money would be lost in development costs, and Nintendo would merely become a shadow of it's former self becoming Sega.

And as to how Sega was "forced" into becoming a third party we can see near the same basic "strategy". Console sales flop and as such Sega goes on to spread it's [dreamcast] titles to other consoles until ultimately they stopped production of consoles and announced that they'd become a third party. This is the route Nintendo would take if they decided to become a third party regardless of if they are "forced" to or not.


This Graph Shows what happened to Sega as they became a third party.

OH **** to the ******* naw!!! Give me a list of ppl and a 2x4! It's time to do some ******* CARPENTRY!!!!

These people that know nothing of how gamers think or how the entertainment industry works need to fall off their high horse. There is no way Nintendo would move to being a crappy app producer or become a third party. Another thing that shows these ppl have no idea what they are talking about, is this quote

[/size][/font]

Nothing in this sentence is true nor holds any merit. These guys need to look at more than money or lose their jobs altogether, the economy isn't just money, it's people. And the fact that they don't bring up any numbers to back these "what Ninty should do" claims is utter crap.

PS. I'm MIFFED!!
M-I-F-F-E-D Miffed!

*Grabs Master Sword* Way ahead of ya man ! Muahahaha!

You can play Nintendo games on iPhone anyway. Just use an emulator

[Hank Hill]

Not sure if I've said this already, but the last time Nintendo listened to the "all wise investors" (yeah, right) we had the flop-a-dop launch that was the 3DS. o-o

Playing a Nintendo game on anything else but a Nintendo console is unthinkable.
Sega really have not been the same since they have been forced down that road.Although some of their output has been good the glory days of Yu Suzuki and the AM depts churning out hits seems to be sadly behind them:)
I would not play a Zelda,Metroid,Mario etc on anything else but a Nintendo console and I think many others will feel the same.
And gaming on a phone sucks (my opinion) Sure its cheap but not good.
3DS has been slow off the mark,but that was pricing and no software at launch.Learn and move on.But the future for 3DS is good and I would take that over any phone (and I don't care how smart that phone is)
But I'f Nintendo made a deal with these companies to sell much older games etc to help fund their R&D etc then I would say do it.
But MK7 or Mario 3D on a phone...laughable.
These stockholders don't know s**t...!!!

I really don't want that to happen, but I fear for handhelds with well thought out gaming experiences fading away because of smart phones that offer short bursts of fun.
