I suppose so. Nintendo is in pretty bad shape since it doesn't make games for iThings, which have become all the rage (How much money has Rovio made off of Angry Birds anyway? It must be practically a billion-dollar franchise now).
Wait a minute, why is Nintendo disappointing you? What do you have against it?

I'm sorry, but speaking as a mod, that's rubbish. We don't classify people as trolls because they happen to dislike Nintendo. There are plenty of people here who are indifferent toward/negative about Nintendo. Heck, I myself am not looking forward to NSMB2/NSMBU due to dislike over them!ColonelKR said:
Also it's kind of hard for a "troll who doesn't belong here" to get a special rank, wouldn't you say?
Well,
When I was a child, I loved the Mario series because it had this huge amazing world for me to explore, and every time I looked somewhere new I would find something exciting and creative. And every time a new game came out the world got bigger, and it was packed with more new things to discover, and even though the setting was bizarre and whimsical it all felt internally consistent, like it had its own inner logic that was no less valid than that of our world despite how different it was.
The new games aren't like that at all. There's little to explore, and most of it feels basically identical to what came before. And where they try something new, it is usually either a tiny, meaningless innovation (don't tell me you think a flying squirrel is different from a flying raccoon, because it's not.), or it doesn't fit thematically at all (more coins are not what Mario is about). So I've basically moved on to other things that still offer the feeling of discovery I felt as a child, but I'm still bitter about it because I love the Mushroom Kingdom, damn it.
The reason I'm amicable to the idea of Disney buying them is simple. When you're doing something that doesn't work, you try something else. For my purposes, what Nintendo's doing isn't working at all, so I want them to try something else. I think Disney would cause them to.
