Re: Talking Point: What Does Google's Stadia Mean For Nintendo And The Future Of Gaming?

I want to add that because YouTube is such a huge platform for gaming, companies will want to run their games on Stadia because of the new ability to click on the game from the YouTube video to instantly play the game or purchase it. This means that Nintendo would be at a loss because they can't take advantage of this feature. Maybe Nintendo's demographic would have to be more marketed towards older gamers that prefer the hardware at that point?

I actually do think this will impact Nintendo because Google just became the first company to fully tap into the cloud gaming market. Meaning if this is the future of gaming Nintendo would have to eventually follow suit and compete with Google's servers. But this is something to worry about probably much much much later. But for right now? It's not too big of a deal because it's not a massive market.

Re: Talking Point: What's Next For Nintendo After Switch?

I'm really excited for the future of Nintendo and gaming. I imagine Nintendo will continue to push the switch for years and make upgraded iterations like the 3ds. And at that point VR technology should be advanced enough to be mainstream and it would be very interesting to see what Nintendo could do with their characters. We've already seen VR Mario Kart

so Nintendo is definitely headed in the right direction.

I'm not sure if Nintendo still pays game developers an "ordinary" salary like they used to or not but I think it's really interesting that they pay them to take time to get inspired. This might be one of the reasons for Nintendo's success because I really believe that successful games are made when the creator(s) are really enjoying what they are working on. And more money doesn't always make the job more exciting.
