Nintendo wouldn't "simply release ROMs" unless they wanted to be cheap, which isn't Nintendo. They would also have to rework their strategy of eShop pricing. I'm not saying they shouldn't do that, I'm saying Pachter gave no actual meaningful advice. he just spat out words and trends that he thinks work. But he didn't actually think about what he was saying, or he just doesn't understand 1) the market, 2) Nintendo, 3) game development. Also, the vast majority, if not all, DS titles would not work on a mobile phone. |
If Nintendo is the problem - he already gave the solution. Fire Iwata. I'm actually also kinda surprised why he's still the CEO, considering how he's leading the company. Nintendo looks like a company that's still sitting in stoneage in comparison to its competition, which is one of the reasons why Wii U is suffering so much. There is tons of stuff they could do so much better to improve sales, they are so obvious everyone sees them. Everyone except for him. In many aspects they still trail last gen achievements of their competition, which is unexcusable.
Also I just don't really like the guy. Listening to him stuttering in English is so painful, I hate it whenever he turn up at any given event. While I absolutely love Kaz or Miyamoto, I can't listen to Iwata. I don't really like Reggie either.
And to this idea - I think it's genious and Nintendo should go for it ASAP. He doesn't have to give you the full business model, nobody paid him for it. He gave them a great idea for free. They should just get to it. Even selling the GBA games for stupid $0.99 would give them massive income and allow them to advertise their consoles and new games.
Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!
