Nope. They've been planning these moves for a while. Looking back at their previous meetings, it's all starting to make sense now. Amiibo was the start, followed by spreading their IP into other things, and now we are hearing about the Universal deal and the whole movies thing.

Yamauchi loved Disney, and Iwata is setting the playing filed to expand Nintendo into the giant that it should be nowadays. It's ridiculous for a compnay that has made such impacts to remain so dormant due to their stubborness. They can't continue to hold back anymore from all the things they could achieve. 


I literally called most of that in January of 2014. The only thing I didn't call where the mobile games.

Called the mobile app.

Called the theme park.

Called TV and Movies.

Called the acquisitions.

Didn't really call the membership because I assumed it would be part of the mobile app. Still taking credit.

Now all they need to do is confirm the purchase of a relevant western publisher and I'll be king of VGChartz. Probably won't happen, though.
