Forums - Nintendo - What would you like to see Nintendo do now that the Wii U is profitable?

Teeqoz on 11 May 2015

The Wii U is profitable? Since when? Do you have any proof of that? Nintendo as a whole is profitable, but I've got my doubts about the Wii U itself.

Yeah I din't make myself very clear there. I meant save as is their gaming IP.

I know Konami have their pachinko and fitness/gyms that keep them very healthy.

 Like you say they seem to be losing interest in gaming and I don't like the idea of their IPs not being used.

They should have a fire sale, MG would be at home on PS the rest is up in the air imo. Some great IPs there including Hudsons stuff. Defintely some games that could benefit Nintendo.

Konamis IPs arent used because they are not sucessfull, gamers are to be blamed for not buying their games in the first place. So i dont see how it could change if some one buys their IPs, nintendo and sony dont have unlimited recources to produce games. They would have to cut back on other games.

Well, they are still good for Vitual Console (there was quite a lot of stuff from Hudson on Wii-VC) and stuff like Smash or Kart.

Drop it. And bring out the NX so I can be right.

They should follow Segas example and alienate their hardcore fans by early dropping it? Disagreed.

They should make a new team or 10-20 develops whose sole purpose is to take old school Nintendo games and re-release them with hd textures. 

Super Mario World HD should be their first game.


Or at the very least, get more people on the VC team (if one even exists) to expand its weekly output, from both 1st and 3rd party.

They wouldn't be alienating anyone after 4 years. It's nothing like Sega. More like Xbox to Xbox 360.

Your probably right and it applies to a lot of old Japanese IP unfortunately.

Thing is I grew up with the NES in the Captain N era. That cartoon had Nintendo, Konami and Capcom characters all together, and to most of us back then Mega Man and Simon Belmont were just a much a part of Nintendo as Mario or Link.

Its wishful thinking but I'd like to see them back at 'home' on Nintendo.

Its better than the current situation at Konami anyway.

I doubt they will be profitable for long, wasnt the reason for the loses prior because of R&D costs for the Wii U? So devolopibg the NX should cost them again some heavty cash for a year

Maybe, but once their mobile games and theme park attractions take off, they should be in the green for a long time running.

I would like to see Amiibos stocked properly...

but for the Wii U, if they keep supporting it with more games, then I'll be fine with that

Develop games for their next console



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

- George Orwell, ‘1984’
