Lol, are people seriously still thinking that Nintendo will (or even should) buy a huge publisher like Capcom? Or that extremely healthy devs/publishers like Level 5 or Bandai Namco would have any interest in being bought out by a console maker?

It doesn't matter, these studios have good relations with Nintenùdo and don't need to be bought out. They could however buy some stock from each other, like happened with NeDa.

Capcom:

- Monster Hunter is currently exclusive to Nintendo

- Ryu from Street Fighter is a DLC character in SSB4

- They actually support Nintendo's VC

Bandai Namco:

- They made SSB for Wii U and 3DS

- They make the arcade versions of Mario Kart

- They're making Pokken Tournament

Level-5:

- Their most succesful franchise, Yo-kai Watch, is exclusive to the 3DS

- So is Professor Layton and Inazuma Eleven

- The Snack World, supposedly their next big hope, is coming to the 3DS

Mario Tennis does not satisfy me, Iwata!


It really sucks that Xenoblade, Star Fox, Devil's Third, Mario Maker, Yoshi's Woolly World, Splatoon, and Fatal Frame don't exist and Nintendo is focusing exclusively on Mario Tennis.

Games announced years ago. The new announcements are Mario Tennis and Amiibo Crossing Party.


I think that you're suggesting that making announcements at e3 satisfies gamers. I feel that actually delivering content is what iwata is referring too. Look at Xbox one they have announced at e3 this gen games that have been cancelled or have no current developer. Anyone can announce something but I'm more interested in games which are actually going to be delivered upon. We will see what 2016 and 2017 actually look like on wiiu in the future.

The problem is that we don't know what's ahead for the console. Maybe you are happy, but you are mostly the exception, not the rule. Announcing games early doesn't affect in a bad way, because by that logic we won't know about Yoshi, Xenoblade, Super Mario Maker and SMTxFE until this E3.



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

LOL..  Maybe they chose not to announce now because the games will blow us a way so much that their current year lineup wouldn't have received the attention it needs :)   Wishfull thinking...  Anyways IGN has posted a fuller quote than the one provided by Iwata. Sounds like he's referring to supporting the wiiu with content even after the nx has launched.  And personally I don't care so much when games are announced.  I would prefer that games were announced the year of release like Bethesda does.

Did any new game get released at E3? No?.. Then no content was delivered by anyone. Because E3 is indeed about announcements.

What does his comment at the shareholders meeting have to do with e3?

A7: Iwata: We can't talk about the NX. If we do, competitors may take our ideas and customers won't be surprised.
Lmao. Too bad he's probably right.

Customers won't be surprised? What does he mean by that? 


Well I think they were really expecting the Wii-U using a tablet to be absolutely ground breaking stuff, but tablet use paired up with stuff like smart glass or even just controlling apps like youtube on the ps3/4 by pairing a smartphone/tablet with the device sort of stole from the Wii-U's thunder a bit, I'm not for a second suggesting that MS or Sony had to "steal" the idea to pair a tablet with a console from Nintendo but it was just very unlucky for Nintendo that a lot of companies ventured into their lovely Blue Ocean before Nintendo could launch the Wii-U and reap the rewards from it themselves.

They'll want to show off NX, get people salivating for what it brings to the table, then launch it before competitors can possibly have a chance to adapt what the NX brings to the table into their systems easily (it does however suggest to me that what they are bringing, could well be adapted by MS/Sony if it turns out to be a success, much like the Move and Kinect tried to adapt some of Wii's success, albeit long after launch of the Wii)

It doesn't matter, these studios have good relations with Nintenùdo and don't need to be bought out. They could however buy some stock from each other, like happened with NeDa.

Capcom:

- Monster Hunter is currently exclusive to Nintendo

- Ryu from Street Fighter is a DLC character in SSB4

- They actually support Nintendo's VC

Bandai Namco:

- They made SSB for Wii U and 3DS

- They make the arcade versions of Mario Kart

- They're making Pokken Tournament

Level-5:

- Their most succesful franchise, Yo-kai Watch, is exclusive to the 3DS

- So is Professor Layton and Inazuma Eleven

- The Snack World, supposedly their next big hope, is coming to the 3DS


Nintendo probally would avoid trying to get Namco, they almost bought them during the Wii years and the Japanese government intervened to prevent the sale, that is why they ended up with Monolith Soft, though I do believe Nintendo does own a sizable stake in the company sill, just not a controlling one.

Capcom is the weakest of the three but I still don't see them going for them, if anything they would try what they did with Zelda with them again to help them out. (Though I don't know what they will do, I don't see them lending them Zelda again. Maybe Metroid or Kid Ikarus.)

I really don't see them going for a game publisher. Though they do need to get more studios. Maybe buy open studios to make their internally made Mobile games and another one that will just do VC/e-shop only software. Heck getting a controlling stake in a toy manufacturer may be beneficial for them to help increase Amiibo production.

Yeah, let's be honest, Nintendo should have bought Atlus and Creative Assembly, not Sega. They'd have to keep the TW franchise on PC though, but they'd still make money from it and they could've made Wii U ports thanks to the Gamepad.
