 And for god's sake, reach out to Nintendo. They've been treading water for a few years now, so they could really need some support.

Are you joking? Nintendo has been treating other game companies like crap for years. It is time Karma happen to them. There are bad history, regarding Nintendo relations with other gaming companies. Bathesda laugh at Nintendo because they have so much money but they aren't willing to give them a free dev kit and free marketing, and expect a game from them. There are history with Nintendo and Sony too, Nintendo basically laugh at Sony's partnership console agreement. Also Nintendo's Youtube policy, and most other gaming companies don't have it.


OT but without derailing too much, my understanding was that the PlayStation CD Add On for the SNES broke down because Sony basically decided they wanted all (or the vast majority of) the licensing royalties for the games on it. Which would have effectively made Nintendo a 3rd party on their own format.

To be fair to Sony; execs at Nintendo okayed and signed the deal.  When Yamauchi found out, much later apparently, instead of going to Sony to renegotiate he went to a competitor to make a competing platform.  That's just bad business and quite possibly cost them dearly.
