I would get out of console gaming faster than you can say fuck

Paid online, dlcs everywhere, internet explorer, bing, expensive console with mandatory kinect! No thanks

Just look at what happened to Rare

So you're saying you wouldn't want Rikka dancing to the Wiikinect Music Central?

Please... Don't give me hopes of something that will never happen T_T

There be no more N systems. And they just be making games. There would be no need for hardware input. That be like asking Sega for input into making the Xone.

I believe it won't be good because they have different philosophies about development of software and hardware.



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile

I don't see Microsoft taking any hardware advice from Nintendo, as far as software goes it could go either way, Nintendo games could remain the same, but on a Microsoft console or we could have another Rare situation.  Also I could see Microsoft still letting Nintendo make handhelds to compete against Sony's handheld. 


Not after the Wii?

Not after Wii U, I think Microsoft is gonna stick to what they know.  Also most of Nintendo innovations include completely changing the controller, and I think we can agree Microsoft is not changing their controller.

Nintendo introduced motion controls but still kept a controller with buttons to hold with Wiimote+Nunchuck. Microsoft got rid of the controller altogether with Kinect. That's like going to the opposite end of the spectrum as far as controller innovation goes.

Microsoft bought Rare. Please be excited.

Darn it. Why you gotta bring up Rare? I thought we could all have forgotten that Rare ever existed.

We would probably see a Mario shooter.

But I think theres a greater chance of Nintendo buying xbox... which means we would see Super Master Chief Bros instead.
