They bought Monolith and Next Level Games.Has buying a studio ever worked out?
I choose to believe you're talking about Money Heist because the alternative is too painfulThey don't need studios. They only need 1 person.
The Man(?), The Myth, The Legend... The Professor
They should buy Shinen Studios ASAP. And probably MercurySteam
They should save that money to weather the potential cool Switch 2 salesWhich studio should they buy??
Fast, the touryst, the art of balance. Almost all their games are Nintendo exclusives except the Touryst. But they are wizards with the Nintendo hardware, a new FZero game made by them could be amazing.what did Shinen Studio make?
Nintendo rarely buy Western studio, if anything they've been shrinking their Western footprints, limited to marketing, testing, and localization. Collaboration/Contracting may be, but not outright buy.
Hire more people at Mario studio so we can get more than one 3D Mario per decade.
You used this news to turn this into an acquisition thread?
What the hell, man....
14 Billion in cash and no debt, they can have two Wii U level of failure in a row and nothing is going to happen to them. The War chest is too big.They should save that money to weather the potential cool Switch 2 sales
I agree so that PS exclusives will stay exclusive not ported to other console and pc.PlayStation Studios
With the parks and the movies i am waiting for another exponential increase.Literally the only stock I have that's doing well (because I'm an idiot).
Never bet against Nintendo
I think that Microsoft and Apple are the only companies than can afford a move like that… Probably Tencent too.They talked about how they can be really selective about which studios they buy. Read: we have a lot of money, but we aren't rich enough to spend $70 billion.
Lol I totally missed that part..You used this news to turn this into an acquisition thread?
What the hell, man....
You are….100% correct.I keep telling you guys that MercurySteam should do a remake of Zelda 2.
Imagine the MeltdownsI personally think they should buy From Soft majority stake from Kadokawa

They bought Next Level Games and Shiver in the last few years, and NST is bigger than they used to be.what did Shinen Studio make?

More and more I'm convinced (perhaps incorrectly) that new Nintendo management (very different from past management) could eventually decide to slowly dip their toes in the PC market. Not with new games, but like Sony has done the last few years with first-party games launching on their hardware first, then to PC a year or two later. There's such an undeniable market there. If Switch 2 install doesn't reach the same level of Switch 1, it may force their hand in order to justify spending $100 million on developing a single game (imagining TotK was near this level, no doubt some Switch 2 games are near this too… Mario Kart World, next Animal Crossing, next Smash, next 3D Mario, etc).The path for Sony console is pretty predictable, more power and speed.
Where would Nintendo go from here. I think they have finally settled on the form factor with Switch and just keeps adding power in a smaller screen which should be cheaper.
Next battle would be cloud gaming in a decade or two for sure where Nintendo might just fail or stick to their guns.
A remake of Adventure of Link? Who the fuck wants that lol?MercurySteam. The developer is capable of making great games(Castlevania: Lords Of Shadow, Metroid: Dread), but they need guidance. Monolith Soft needed Nintendo as well. I keep telling you guys that MercurySteam should do a remake of Zelda 2.
Grezzo is also an easy pick.
Their fundamental philosophy on the approach to game development are completely opposite. So it's not something that would happen, to the point that even a hypothetical is outside the realm of possibility.I have no doubt PlayStation Studios would produce more quality games and be much more productive under Nintendo
I agree both of those would fit Nintendo's stable of studios well. Much like Next Level and Monolith Soft.They should buy Shinen Studios ASAP. And probably MercurySteam

The important thing you aren't mentioning is that Sony makes over $90B in revenue and over $7B in profits per year, plus have a ton of valuable assets.For comparison:
Sony is worth 155 billion market cap. 12.3 billion dollar cash, but with 29.5 billion dollar debt
I'd say that with GaaS like Smash Bros, Mario Kart, Animal Crossing or Splatoon they already have enough.Just start a new studio for games as a service. I hear Jade Raymond has some free time.
me : ))A remake of Adventure of Link? Who the fuck wants that lol?
I have a quick question for you. How many years do you think it will take for Nintendo to reach 25 billion in cash?14 Billion in cash and no debt, they can have two Wii U level of failure in a row and nothing is going to happen to them. The War chest is too big.
They should drop the price because it's good for consumers.Or they're DOA!
