Apple has a far stronger and more recognizable brand than Nintendo so I’m not sure why you believe it would be sullied by an acquisition.
Apple generally leaves its companies alone. Look at beats for example.
If Nintendo would be acquired I suspect the only changes you’d see are ads for Apple services when visiting Nintendo.com or playing their games.
- hot_gril 3y agoPutting all of Nintendo's titles on iPhones, as you suggested, would not be leaving Nintendo alone. Nintendo has its own hardware and ecosystem.
- endisneigh 3y agoSo what? Beats has its own hardware and it’s also owned by Apple. I don’t know why you believe they couldn’t make hardware and be acquired by Apple. You lack imagination.
- hot_gril 3y agoBeats didn't have an important ecosystem paired with its hardware. As you said, Apple mostly left them alone. If Nintendo wanted their titles on iPhones, they would've released them there. > You lack imagination. No, I lack frustration over Apple not owning Nintendo. Enjoy it.

- endisneigh 3y agolol, I sure will
- turndown 3y ago>Apple has a far stronger and more recognizable brand than Nintendo so I’m not sure why you believe it would be sullied by an acquisition This just isn’t true.
- endisneigh 3y agoYou think Nintendo is more recognizable than Apple? lol
- turndown 3y agoWhen I actually think about it, yeah, they 100% are. Nintendo is one of the few companies I can think of that has had as much success as Apple, for arguably a longer time. The NES, SNES, Nintendo 64, GC flopped, Wii, Wii U flopped, Switch. Countless successful games. They have basically had an in-home brand advertisement world wide for >40 years. Even Apple doesn’t have that; they spent a long time as pretty much irrelevant from the mid 80s to 2000. Apple’s early success was confined to a relatively small market; Nintendo’s wasn’t. There are a lot of old people who don’t care about technology at all and only understand Apple in passing, but every console ever gets called a Nintendo by them.
- endisneigh 3y agoAlright, we’ll have to agree to disagree.
- hot_gril 3y agoI think Apple is more recognizable today, but in all time, Nintendo for sure.
- fomine3 3y ago"brand" isn't a single scalar value. Apple is one of the most known brand in the world, but Nintendo it the top reputed brand for gaming.
