"In Japan, I can be my own antenna, but abroad, that doesn't work," he said.

About time he admits this. Now we can have an independent/strong NOA like in the N64 days or SNES days

Why was it not obvious that Iwata being the president at NOA was a horrible idea? 

This is something Nintendo can take care of fairly easily, but will they change it?

There is a supposed "surprise" coming soon. Maybe an early Mario Kart 8 release date, release dates on mentioned games, or unannounced games going to be announced.


I think they have to release Mario Kart 8 early just to reach the new 2.8 million forecast.



"Games are a trigger for adults to again become primitive, primal, as a way of thinking and remembering. An adult is a child who has more ethics and morals, that's all. When I am a child, creating, I am not creating a game. I am in the game. The game is not for children, it is for me. It is for an adult who still has a character of a child."

No.  Nintendo owns Pokemon.  It belongs to them completely, as do all the licensing rights.  Nintendo also owns controlling interest in Media Create, the company that develops Pokemon for Nintendo.  It would depend upon the terms of the contract, of course, but it's most likely that Nintendo receives the vast majority of the profit from the games.

That's Game Freak and Creatures Inc.  Media Create is a sales tracking firm in Japan.

How the fuck can you post a loss after releasing pokemon? WWWWTTTTTFFFFF!?


yeah its crazy

People do realize the pokemon company is a seperate company?

how seperate? how much influence does Ninty have over Pokemon, if any? im asing cause i really dont know how it works i always thought it was another Ninty property like Mario or Zelda

They have there own profits as a company. I'm sure they make 10-20% profit from games but pokemon has been making lots of money. You find reports of them making profits every year. Nintendo doesn't include them in there worker list. That means the pokemon company pays for everything and gets most of the money. They made more money than last just on toys,cards, tv, and games than nintendo. It's been said Nintendo has no influence on Pokemon at all. That's probably why do a lot of things nintendo doesn't.

I'm guessing fox didn't read this? Media create is a sales firm and I don't know what this has to do with anything.

The only thing nintendo does with them is make them exclusive. I pointed they make 10-20% profit off there games because they licensed. It's very much like intelligent systems. They own the properties but not the company itself.

I was so confused for a sec.

Bwah, so was I.  That's the wildest brain crash I've ever had.  I have no idea why I typed Media Create.  Still, everything else is correct.

Really, that's kind of awesome.  I wonder if I'm coming down with a rare brain disease.

Basically shareholders of 53% of Game Freak Inc. In simpler terms, what Nintendo asks, Nintendo gets!
