Lol if you think a single thing they make will be priced at $1. They sell 30+ year-old games on their consoles for $5 minimum.

I'm about to active invest in the poo poo out of some trading card game cards. There's a card that's flying under the radar but is gonna be an archetype in the next standard rotation unless something comes out before then that only exists to poop on it. I built a deck around it and still win regularly even though the single card that kills its strategy is a 4-of in every deck. As soon as I see the rest of the cards that are gonna be in the next standard rotation, I'll buy up every single one from the major online vendors, start winning with the deck, and sell the cards for a massive profit when I control the supply. This is a game with uncommons that can run for $5; a <$1 garbage rare that gets a massive upgrade to being the key to a tier 1 deck while also being almost impossible to find online will run for a lot more.

so yeah active investing



Basically that but with less money, over slightly more time, also I'm gonna sell these rather than just have them forever and people are gonna have to play the actual cards if they want the effect, rather than using a proxy because Magic is a dumb game.

A friend of mine once ate a rare magic card he had in his deck because it was useless in that deck and he couldn't cycle it.

Nintendo making lovely pay-to-win phone games? Yeah, that seems about right for them at this point.

Pokemon shuffle is a pay-to-win 3ds game that was just released. It is just candy crush with pokeymans.

And the upcoming Puzzle & Dragons: Mario Edition is coming to 3DS, and is literally just hit cellphone game Puzzle & Dragons with Mario characters and whatever. It seems reasonable to assume they will be making and releasing the game for phones now, too.

This is a result of widespread panic at Nintendo HQ since iemulators.com went up (NES and SNES emulators without jailbraking your iPhone).

Here's a suggestion for Nintendo: Make a regular console (no motion controls or "gamepad" poo poo) with specs that actually compete with current generation consoles. Maybe then your brand won't be a joke anymore to everyone except children.

That would only happen if Sony and Microsoft pulled out of the console business. Otherwise making a conventional console is not an option, especially given that the conventional console market in Japan has evaporated, which is their primary concern.

I thought Japan plays consoles almost exclusively and they hate PC games. Tomb Raider was the last game from a Japanese company, and I remember hearing they got all bitchy about it becasue it was way more successful than that final fantasy crap.

the best part of this is that Nintendo has been sitting on their hands for so long that a ton of iconic third party NES/SNES games have already had phone ports of varying quality from their original publishers

do any of you nerds know anything about this? are they gonna be lovely like 99% of phone games or are they going to be good like that one phone game that's actually good?

They're really into it

I predicted this 2 years ago at the dawn of gbs 2.1 and nobody paid attention to me

Plus it's hardly news. "Game console manufacturer announces vague plans to manufacture game console" is not going to surprise anyone. Nintendo realizing that smart phones exist is actually pretty wild although in retrospect was probably inevitable once they worked out that whole "internet" thing.

you carry a wiimote with you on the loving train... you can't be without games for 45minutes? jesus christ read a book or something.

If nintendo does what square does now they will make a killing porting old JRPGs to iOS. The World Ends With You is like $20 and it was in the top grossing apps section for a few months which means they were making a few million a week.

why do people care about specs of a console? all that matters is the quality of the games. the specs of the Wii U compared to the PS4/xbone aren't keeping it from getting good games, it is still getting consistently better exclusives.
