No. Nintendo just need a new unique hardware like what they did with Wii

UltimateMaster4681d ago

Just no.
Then again, Apple might just buy them and keep making Nintendo games.

ShadowHarp4680d ago

Doesn't Nintendo of America own an American Major League Baseball team, would cost a lot of money to buy nintendo out.

JD20134681d ago

I don't know, I think Mario or Zelda on an iPhone just wouldn't work for me somehow.

LOL_WUT4681d ago

It works perfectly fine on an Android smartphone so I don't see why not? ;)

dcj05244680d ago

Super mario 64 runs fine on my GS2.

Yep4681d ago

If the 3DS and the next handheld keep selling at the rate they are right now? Never. While Nintendo does love money (like everyone) they realize that once they develop games for non-Nintendo devices it'll likely ruin the entire hardware part of the company (why buy a Nintendo console when you can just play the games on your iPhone? Besides soon they'll just develop for Xbox, right?) and they'll become just another EA or Activision, or worse another Square Enix, Capcom, or Sega--all of which have been going through awful times recently.

Drummerdude414681d ago

No if they did anything mobile they should create there own platform and then leave the core games for their handhelds.

U.S. patent examiner rejects Nintendo’s summoning characters patent as obvious: non-final ruling

The rejection is non-final (and even when such rejections are labeled as “final”, the process is far from over, given that there can be, at minimum, an appeal to the Federal Circuit).

Good, as they should! A game mechanic like that shouldn't be locked behind a patent, and Nintendo didn't invent it either.

PRIMORDUS85d ago (Edited 85d ago )

Nintendo wants to keep wasting money on bullshit lawsuits, real smart in this economy. They should put that money aside for other game projects. On the other hand, I don't care if they waste it all either, and they are screwed in the future maybe that will teach them a lesson.

Well dayum lol. Old agent orange pissing off every industry and nation.

0hMyGandhi110d ago

The fact that you have ANY disagrees will forever baffle me. And to the (apparent) MAGA contingent that exists on this website, enjoy your 8-9 dollar gas.

AuraAbjure110d ago (Edited 110d ago )

Yes, they had better be pissed after Trump told them the way they rip off the USA is over.

EveryPlatformGamer111d ago

LOL I read this on gaff, will they refund the money back to the gamers? highly unlikely. Didn't they just raise prices and pass it onto the gamers? Only Nintendo would send out the Ninjas to the US government.

-Foxtrot111d ago

That’s what I was thinking, imagine them winning hypothetically, getting a s**t load of money back which they would have lost if they hadn’t raised their prices and it’s business as normal.

It would just mean people paid more for no reason since they got the money back anyway.

Outside_ofthe_Box111d ago (Edited 111d ago )

A lot of companies partially passed the cost to consumers instead of all of it. They would still have to at least pay that back to gamers, but we know that won't happen. What's also sad is that prices won't come back down after the initial hike caused by tariffs.

People didn't understand the full repercussions of tariffs. That alone should have cost him the presidency if people knew it was a permanent price hike for consumers

Inverno111d ago

The people should sue these companies for having to over pay cause of these tariffs.

Eonjay111d ago

Naw they should sue the government for forcing the tax to begin with. No one reasonably expects these companies to absorb the taxes. Many smaller companies tried and were shut down or faced to increase prices to try to maintain their business. The tariffs effect everyone.

Inverno109d ago

I meant it mostly as a joke cause we all know the costs of these tariffs were passed onto the consumer. But it's seems no matter how vocal we are here in the states our "representatives" don't seem to care enough to represent us. And things are about to get worse.

Killer2020UK110d ago

The companies were doing what the law required then to do, the tariffs however were illegally implemented. Usually it's criminals we punish, you seem to have different ideas 🤷‍♂️
