Nintendo Considering Mergers
Iwata has mentioned to investors that Nintendo is considering future mergers in order to evolve the company and the franchise. By acquiring new first party games and working with third party companies Nintendo has a chance to change things for the better.
Iwata had this to say. “Nintendo has undergone continuous changes over years, moving from Hanafuda playing cards to video games, and offering newer systems like the Wii. But we’ve been preoccupied with a fixed idea of what a game should be like. The game industry is at a turning point amid new developments like the rise of smartphones.”
So it’s hard to say where Nintendo will go next, but with the inclusion of characters like Sonic, Snake, and Megaman in Super Smash Brothers it is possible we could see Nintendo evolve and add some of these characters to their roster.
