Apple should just buy Nintendo. Or kidnap Miyamoto and force him to make Mario games for iOS. I don't know. I haven't thought this through. I just want Nintendo games on iOS.
That would probably change my mind about iOS gaming. I wish Nintendo would just give up on hardware.
What an absolutely atrocious idea that would be for Nintendo. When you put your games on a smartphone not only do you devalue your IP but it's horrible for the long-run of the company that needs those franchises. Nintendo leaving the hardware market is not going to happen. A profit is a profit and so long as Nintendo makes money on the hardware they will continue to make it as it's another revenue stream and helps fund the amazing games they can put out. Not to mention they can fully take advantage of the hardware they're using as they created it and there's only one model that they need to support.
And yet somehow the Mario Galaxy games are some of the highest scoring games of all time.What?
Nostalgia aside, Nintendo's exclusives are no match for the masterpieces of today's consoles. As much as I love Mario, Metroid, and Zelda, I would very easily take Uncharted, The Last of Us, Bioshock Infinite, Heavy Rain, Portal, Half Life, and others over them.
Gaming today, thematically, is far beyond what we had 10-15 years ago.
