Don't they make a shit load of money by reselling their 10 year old games on the DS?
Masato Kato wrote those games story hmmm sounds like more whining then truth.
As long as games like Zelda,Mario,Smash Bros,Donkey Kong,Star Fox,Kirby,Pokemon, etc etc etc... sells nintendo won't be sweating about "the end" any time so.

Well, his writing had a lot of whiny, angsty doom, so I'm not surprised.

SquareEnix dpesn't consider any game that doesn't sell over 2 million units to be a success. They even considered the port of Chrono Trigger DS, which sold nearly 1 million units, to have been 'less than expected' and 'a statement that fans didn't want more Chrono titles'.
Of course, they overlook the fact that its their own fault that all of their series aside from the 'big three' (Final Fantasy/Kingdom Hearts/Dragon Quest) are failing due to a total lack of advertising or a lack of stock in stores. And even then, the big three are starting to struggle in certain regions (Final Fantasy in Japan and Dragon Quest has never done well outside Japan).
Six upcoming games you should look into:
lol. Kato would know a thing or about falling from greatness. Here's the games he's written for the past 5 years...
Misquoted or mistranslated, period.

S-E should know that by the third time you release a game (CT was on the SNES and PSX before the DS), the market for the same experience is limited. The first two RPGs I ever played were CT and SMPRG. Because of that, I cannot play Final Fantasy (can you say random encounters) and barely made it to the end of a superior DQ VIII. S-E still wants to make games like it did 20 years ago, even though some of the processes are very dated (and were in the SNES day as CT had enemy avoidance and visible differing character recharge rates).
OT -- It is much more likely that old-style, non-evolved RPGs are going away than it is Nintendo going away.

chrono imo. I only chose him because I liked his game more.

yes, he does
kidding
but lol patcher wannabe
Some confusion needs to be rectified... Kato wasn't the chief writer on FFVII, Chrono Trigger or Xenogears. He worked on all 3, and was a main contributor, but he still had less to do with the stories of each than Kitase/Nojima (FFVII), Hori (CT) or Takahashi (Xeno).
Kato's first real central role was with Chrono Cross. He was also the main writer for FFXI (originally) and Baten Kaitos.
