Evolving? They’ve always been an entertainment focused company. They’ve been around for ages, and got their start making cards, then later electronic games and toys. Nintendo is basically Hasbro.
This feels like a very natural progression to me, I really don’t see a problem with it as long as they continue to make sure their games are the core of the model and use other media as supplemental ways to build up brand and character awareness. I think anyone would agree that some types of stories are better told via games and others via movies, shows, or books. Broadening their scope allows for more stories to be told.
And theme parks or things of that nature are just cool ways for people to tangibly experience Nintendo IP.
Will never forgive them for what they did to MGS. The Fox Engine could have been the base for a whole new generation of Metal Gear, but instead they put out an 80% complete MGSV, and then shit out Survive which was just the nail in the coffin.
Kinda figured it would be some bullshit when they were already taking a poll on whether people would be interested in another MGS getting the same treatment, only weeks after just announcing this collection. At least the sentiment was most “Hold your horses and finish this one first, then we’ll talk.”
