One thought on “Nintendo closing European headquarters, laying off 130”
Perhaps they will figure out that they need a new way to market before it’s too late. And yes that way might be to port their classic titles to mobile devices. Some 40 year old that remembers the original Super Mario trilogy might be willing to shell out $14.99 a title or all three for $20 with the new app bundles for the nostalgia. It’s on the iPhone he hands Junior to shut the kid up and the kid gets hooked, wants more which could lead to buying a console for the newer games. Even if it does, enough of those buys and it’s still cash coming in at a decent rate.
