Title: Nintendo to bail out World Economy... $5.3billion for FY 2008 expected

Strong sales of both the Wii and Nintendo's handheld DS player despite the global slowdown had led the company to expect a record 530 billion yen operating profit for the year that ended on March 31.
Does this mean that Nintendo will buy some games to release in Japan?

God, I hope so. Nintendo now has the money to bribe support their way for a change. It would be a mistake to have made all this money and then squander it by not beefing things up.

I know there are those who think Nintendo should be handing out money hats for third party games...
...but isn't that the exact thing we criticized MicroSoft and Sony for doing the last two generations?
I don't know if you noticed or not, but third party support on Nintendo consoles has been seriously lacking ever since the SNES era. If Nintendo starts handing out money hats, that would only help to balance things out a little. Because right now Sony and MS are getting all the 3rd party love, and this sucks for us who are missing out on Street Fighter IV and RE5 and Godfather II and so forth.
Its a sad thing if Nintendo has to bribe companies just to give their console the same support the other consoles receive automatically, but if that is the ONLY way to get those games....

Hope some of that money is invested on research and development of the Wii2.
I think Nintendo should use their new found wealth to buy the Sony corporation.

We are stuck with crappy third party efforts like Little King's Story, Conduit and Muramusa. Time to bail out Midway so we can get their classics rolling again.

I haven't noticed because the best games are Nintendo games - they always have been since the NES days. I know, I'm evil and hated, but I can spend $50 on a game that I *might* like or spend $50 on a game that I know will be good.
