Nintendo would have been better off if they let NOA do its thing like they did in the past. NOJ atm controls Reggie's balls.
They really do need some western talent to sell their systems. |
Yes that's one of Iwata's gravest mistakes IMO, was neutering NOA after Arakawa/Lincoln left. Because of them Nintendo was able to get games like DKC (which basically won the 16-bit war for them) and GoldenEye (which kept the N64 alive in that period between Mario 64 and Zelda: Oot), and make deals like the Star Wars games which did very well for Nintendo.

Indeed I think at one stage did NOA own the mariners? or were they just a stakeholder? i remember when they got angel studios to make Ken Griffey Jr baseball, was and still is one of the best baseball games mechanics wise compared to all the crap EA has released.
From memory ANgel Studios were also workign on other projects for the gamecube then they got canned when NOJ started to tighten the chains on NOA.

I believe NOA technically owns the Mariners still to this day, though they were looking to sell the team last I heard.

Yup NOA owns 55% of the Mariners. Should sell them.
