The main thing to keep in mind is that Nintendo is first and foremost a video game company, specifically a Japanese one, thus there is a cultural barrier that still finds a way of manifesting itself even in today’s hyper-globalized world. There are game franchises that clearly cater to Western audiences, there are others that do the same for Japanese players, and -naturally- there’s some overlap in between for the likes of Mario, but in the end, this all means Nintendo cannot bring Mario to movie theaters on its own and that’s where Illumination comes in....

Takeda, now 68, is currently the Representative Director and Technology Fellow at Nintendo, and was originally brought on to Nintendo by the developer of the Game Boy back in 1971. Between individual contributions and team participation, Takeda invented or helped to create some of Nintendo’s biggest innovations.

These masterminds dug into the coded instructions of Switch version 3.0, all the way down to the kernel of the system, and found a massive exploit that grants those with the proper expertise full permissions to any feature or service on the handheld-to-console operating system. Having that kind of freedom allows the hackers (and anyone who could mimic their actions) to get into the Switch’s apps to create new applications, emulators, mods, and games – the typical trappings of a homebrew....

Early reception for Square Enix and Platinum Games’ action JRPG collaboration has been exceedingly positive, with many gamers drawing a comparison between the pulsing, lightning-quick combat of Final Fantasy 15 and the challenging, tough-but-fair difficulty levels of games like Dark Souls.

Yes, the Wii U is capable of delivering a wide variety of gameplay experiences, but Nintendo, most likely in an effort to rededicate themselves to the hardcore, doesn’t want anything to be forced on developers this time around. Sure, there are some very clever applications for the Wii U controller, like being able to use it as detective mode goggles in Batman: Arkham City, but there is still the potential that could discourage gamers from picking up the Wii U version of the game....
