Their love hotels lasted during the 60s along with their many other endeavors. How about they bring back their taxi service and have cars molded out of Nintendo characters. However, with the cost of gas the love hotels might be a better business to resurrect.
"During this period of time between 1963 and 1968, Nintendo set up a taxi company, a love hotel chain, a TV network, a food company (selling instant rice, similar to instant noodles) and several other things. All of these ventures eventually failed, and after the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, playing card sales dropped, and Nintendo's stock price plummeted to ¥60." -wiki |
But they hadn't Mario & Co., this time it wouldn't fail. And how about licensing its characters to theme parks, and directly running them when and where advantageous, if it doesn't it yet? Anyway, jokes and half jokes apart, a lot of businesses would be better than phones, particularly now that Apple, MS, Sony, RIM and others look so eager to wage patent wars against competitors.
