Well even if nx does what wii u did. Nintendo would profit so your entire theory is flawed and even if nintendo is in a dire state i dont think they'll merge with any other company



Just a guy who doesn't want to be bored. Also

They will probably never have to.

But if it comes to that, they should release their games on Steam.

Sorny.



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 know if Sony wants to join Nintendo again after that thing on 1991.


Do you seriously believe Sony wouldn't like?

You have any idea horribly most Nintendo games would do on Steam? The only games people talk about on Steam are shooters. -_-

 

Hnnnggg.... Must....not....scream un frustration..... hnnggg....

 

Bolded is simply not true. You also don't have any basis for your first claim.

None of the above

Merger with Sega would be my option. Dreamcast Games on the Virtual Console => Instant System seller. May also add SNK Playmore for good measure

Plus, if these 3 companies would merge together, Nintendo could almost do without third party publishers, considering how many IP they have taken together

When was the last time any of you were excited for a non-shooter being available on Steam?


My most played game on Steam is Rocket League....

Which looks nothing like a Nintendo game. Ergo Nintendo games on Steam wouldn't sell.


What does that have to do with shooters being the only games people are excited for on steam? =__=

You really think a Super Smash Bros, Splatoon or The Legend of Zelda HD port wouldn't sell on Steam?

I wouldn't mind either, but I think Sony would provide less interference. But on the flipside it would probably lead to a monopoly on the game industry because I don't see how Microsoft would be able to stay relevant if they're struggling against Sony as is. Give the Playstation brand Mario, Zelda, Pokemon, Splatoon, Smash Brothers, Mario Kart, Fire Emblem, Metroid, etc. on top of all the third party support they already have plus Uncharted, Last of Us, God Of War, etc. and it would pretty much render XBox moot. It would also effectively make franchises like Dragon Quest, Monster Hunter, and Yo-Kai Watch exclusive.
