MVGN writes "Nintendo’s portable systems have become exactly like their beloved franchise Pokemon. There have been evolutions of their systems, a plethora of special editions and constant tweaks that have made gamers catch “poke” fever and “gotta catch them all” mentality. From the GBA, GBASP, Gameboy Micro, Gameboy Color, Nintendo DS, DSi, DS Lite, 3DS, 3DSXL, New 3DS, New 3DSXL and the countless special editions, Nintendo sure has given collectors and gamers alike a ton of different options when it comes to purchasing their portable systems.
Nintendo has owned the portable realm for quite a while and we here at MVGN have been wondering; Will Nintendo’s home consoles ever get the “portable treatment”?
It should come as no surprise that Nintendo is pretty protective regarding its IP. Going after emulators, ROM hacks, and reproductions is one thing, but it looks like the firm is starting to aim its sights on something rather surprising: sheet music.
this reminds me of that nintendo facebook social media question where they asked people what their favourite nintendo song was and people posted yt links. EVERY SINGLE ONE WAS TAKEN DOWN
You want to kill a party fast just invite Nintendo. But we are talking about a company who took down pictures of a strategy guide that has never appeared in the west. You don't see Square taking down music or sheet music to Aerith's theme, Tifa's theme, June Mermaid. Memorable tunes stick with fans to great games. Nintendo games have fans that have been routed since the NES. People have Youtube vids showing how to play Zelda's lullaby on piano, violin or my favorite the harp. Nintendo taking down sheet music or those curious about a Japanese strategy guide makes Nintendo look like an asshole to those fans.
Out of spite those people should now out put all that music in a torrent upload and share it (I will seed for them🤣) Then email Nintendo the link to it lol. Good luck taking down a torrent. Torrents and Usenet is the only way to get around anything Nintendo tries to take down because they can't. This is the way to preserve games and game music, without anyone telling you otherwise.
The latest Switch firmware update kills off support for the Elon Musk-owned social media company.
Nintendo Has Acquired Shiver Entertainment From Embracer Group
Great news it shows that Nintendo intends to continue developing ports of AAA games to its next gen platform
Buying studios from embracer now is a great deal, they must be dirt cheap at this point, Nintendo is a opportunist, they wait until someone fall so they get their best deal
I hope someone buys Piranha Bytes, their future isn't looking good right now. I love their RPGs, they're janky as f***, but they have heart and soul.
Nintendo saw the Mortal Kombat 1 Switch port and were like, "Yeah, these guys are worth acquiring."
You can't make this crap up lol
I think that would actually be pretty cool.
The Wind Waker HD Game Pad is something I'd have loved to own, if I hadn't already gotten a Wii U.
But, heck, for something ultra-cool, like a Wii U with a color pallet/mech design similar to a Doll Mech to celebrate the upcoming Xenoblade Chronicles 2, might just convince me to get a new system.
Though, I think Nintendo could make even better bank if they did for the Wii U what they did for the normal sized New 3DS; invent plates that would snap around the console to give it a bunch of new looks, while also functioning as armor.
Sturdier than decals and cool to boot.
I'd love that.
