Now I'm not suggesting Nintendo will bite the dust but with stocks imploding etc...etc.. I just thought for a second what I would do if Nintendo actually died.

For me Nintendo and Jesus are the only constants in my life. I have had Nintendo games and played Nintendo games since I was three on my Atari 2600. I grew up with Donkey Kong and Jump Man, Mario Bros and the later NES/SNES versions. Nintendo played such a huge role in my life growing up its not funny.

As long as I can remember I have been playing Nintendo games and loyally buying every Nintendo system as soon as their released. At one point I liked Sega and Sony as well but Sega bit the dust and Sony went astray and I stopped enjoying their software. But Mario , Donkey Kong , Zelda, Star Fox these games were my bread and butter. Nintendo content has helped me through depression, helped me when I was sick. Helped me in school. I have always had Nintendo games to play and count on Nintendo to keep me entertained.

So what would I do if suddenly Nintendo bit the dust?

I don't have a clue, I would freak. I would probably start spending all my money collecting the past Nintendo consoles and games to cling on to some form of existance. I would turn to fanmade content to get my fix, sure I'd buy the next X-Box but a huge part of my life would be missing. I don't know what I would do without Nintendo games.

So how big of a role has Nintendo played in your life? If Nintendo were to go bankrupt tomorow what would you do? What effect would the loss of Nintendo have on your life?

I'd cast a level 10 resurrection spell and get back to kicking ass and taking names.

I dunno. I'd probably start reading books and go out and get laid.

Id do what i already do, play on another system, if Ninty bit the dust i wouldnt lose sleep. THey just might go 3rd party. But if they go under under yeah that would suck

there is outstanding irony in you treating nintendo like such an idol and also mentioning how much jesus means to you in the same paragraph
but ot what would anyone be able to do?

get laid honor of them

I honestly wouldn't care. They're just a video game company anyways.

I would continue buying Sony consoles and hope that Nintendo did the right thing and made software exclusively for their Japanese brethren at Sony. Or better yet, a Sony purchase of Nintendo. I would just die. :)

Their IP rights would be sold to Activision and we'd have a yearly Zelda and Mario game :D

make more games :P
