QuoteALL of them? That would have to be like a 1,000 volume compilation.
If nintendo dies they better make a game compilation of all of their games.

the way i look at sega now with sonic on gamecube, it kinda feels like a nintendo trophie! their old rival now on their system! i would hate to see that with mario! say nintendo goes out of buisness and then a year later see mario on a sony council! i'd feel bad!
but ya, nintendo is here to stay, i just wanna know how yu guys would want them to leave the buisness (if they ever do)

I would really like to see a Mario collection, Similar to the Sonic Mega Collection. It would have to feature every Mario game.

also does Mr Miyamoto have children? children that have an interest in designing games?

Er, if Nintendo was to "die," they probably wouldn't have the MONEY to produce a huge final game.
Most things that end with a death end with a whimper. Ask any fan of the Archie Sonic comics when first the Super Specials and then the Knuckles series were cancelled. *rolls his eyes* Often there isn't enough warning to do a "huge final" thing, and everything is focused on the business anyway at that point.
If he's still around and actively working on them, Nintendo would probably "sell off" Miyamoto (officially he'd announce he would move to the company with his creations by his own choice, unofficially... Well, if he feels detached enough from them, he might branch off and start all new series elsewhere, but he's quite attached to his current works) and some of the more popular franchises with him. They would be stupid not to, especially if they were in a bad enough financial position to have to close (you can't always afford pride at that point), and other companies would be rabidly bidding against eachother trying to pick up the package.
But that thought is a LONG way off. Nintendo's got a large surplus of cash saved up, they're not in any particular financial danger now or in the forseeable future.

IF Nintendo dies you can pretty much assume that a Dues Ex scenario had taken place and that the world had an IT crash and that we had be put back thousands of years into the dark ages.
Or an asteroid literally wiped out half the earth population upon impact and then all remaining life form died withing 10 years only to have to start up Darwin's theory of evolution mark II or whatever version it is up to as its hard to analise how many times Earth's lifecycles have recycled.
As long as we have electricity or solar power Nintendo will never die. Nintendo will only grow stronger in their philosophies and will continue being industry leaders in efficiency or convenience.
efficiency = IBM cpu and ATI architecture
convenience = plug and play, realtime interactions or waivebird etc
Lastly now with eg. Square and Konami reluctantly supporting Nintendo due to large publishes such as EA or Activision stealing huge global marketshares, there is hardly any chance of Nintendo being eaten up by corporate companies such as Sony or M$. The Gamecube has a lineup of being the most varied "quality" console franchises. Even so for the future I fail to see Square and Konami dropping multi-platform support for the next-gen consoles because the secret is to support all platforms if you want to compete with the Activisions and EAs of the industry. Therefore even hypathetically answering to the what IF scenario is irrelevant if you really consider the reality.
2003 = Nintendo's greatest E3 ever

I don't jest when I say my interest will wane significantly. I stopped for good awhile after the Dreamcast was killed and in the end videogames are a hobby not a neccesity. I won't melt away because I can't play Mario, and I don't think anyone can call me a fool or an elitist snob if I truly feel that after Nintendo there's not much left for me play.
