Whats with these threads? Now were already looking at what would happen if Nintendo went under? Cmon... this is ridiculous. Namco, Capcom, SEGA and Sony would go under before Nintendo did.

Nintendo has 8 billion in the bank. They can stick around for many more years.

But if i must indulge then here: Pokemon games should go on the Vita! :P

I heard 11B yesterday. So they lost 3B in a day? Can't be good


Oh well... i wouldnt know exactly. I just know they got loads of cash and are in no risk for the forseeable future. ^^


They have I believe 8.8 Billion, and zero debt.

You're mistaken. Nintendo only directly holds a 33% stake. But Creatures, Inc holds a 33% stake, and Nintendo owns Creatures, Inc. Which means that indirectly, Nintendo holds a 67% stake in TPC. Gamefreak has the other 33%.

You're mistaken. Nintendo does not own Creatures Inc. Look in their financial reports.

Seriously though, there are tons of people out there playing GBA Pokemon on their phone emulator.

So that's where the audience will go.

(Way too many people in fact lol)


GBA emulator is my best friend on my phone, just got done playing Metroid Fusion and Zelda Minish Cap.

Well see the thing is while the emulator itself is legal the ROM files aren't. Unless you straight up own the physical copies and rip them yourself.

But people do it because everyone does it. It's like pirating music.

I've never understood why emulators aren't illegal. There is probably a lot of money right out of the window for developers.

I'm ok with the thought of emulators to mod a game or like for example running glorious Dolphin Xenoblade and you want the best possible experience.

But I agree that you need a physical copy of the game to do so. It's fine if you actually have the game, you can tune to best suit your needs. The problem is that it opens a whole gateway to piracy.

It's also really frustrating that certain old Nintendo games are really hard to find and play. If Virtual console was much more of an improved service there wouldn't be much of a reason to need to emulate to play old games.

I seriously don't really see the problem in releasing a Virtual console thing in partnership with Valve on Steam or something. That would rake in a lot, and possibly even court in some new Nintendo fans. I mean lots of people already play Pokemon emerald on iOS and Android, why not just make it a legal service? I know many people that would be all over that. It would be like an incomplete version of VC with the full version on Nintendo hardware, being free to move your titles. If people enjoy what they got out of their game, maybe they take a gander at the next sequel on 3DS. People that aren't looking for a 3DS don't know that this stuff exists anyways, it could serve as good advertisement that the service exists.

Virtual Console isn't really a great selling point but it could be.

I never use emulators, but I play in a band with 4 other guys that play Pokemon Emerald on an emulator :D The thing I don't understand is why it isn't illegal when it pretty much is piracy.

 

I really hope people will understand how good virtual console actually is. Since Wii and DS were my first Nintendo consoles I really have a lot to catch up with.

You're mistaken. Nintendo only directly holds a 33% stake. But Creatures, Inc holds a 33% stake, and Nintendo owns Creatures, Inc. Which means that indirectly, Nintendo holds a 67% stake in TPC. Gamefreak has the other 33%.

You're mistaken. Nintendo does not own Creatures Inc. Look in their financial reports.

You're going to have to be more specific - what am I looking for? All sources I can find refer to Creatures as a Nintendo subsidiary.

Nintendo does not own Creatures, they are independent. You claiming the opposite and having ''sources'' advising you so is incorrect.

So the Pokemon company is free to do with their IP as they wish as long as they keep the games on Nintendo platforms?

Nowhere else. Honestly Pokemon will die if nintendo dies. Or is it the other way around?



Long Live SHIO!
