El informe menciona 29 subsidiarias, y aquí hay en total 25, con lo que hay mas de una compañía que Nintendo no quiere que sepamos que es suya.
Por otro lado, me ha sorprendido que Nintendo sólo posea el 32% de Pokemon Co., Ltd. ¿Alguien me lo explica?
-------------------
Por otro lado, no sé si recordáis que Miyamoto instó a Kotaku a preguntar a sus lectores ¿Que juego querían que hiciesen para Wii U? ha ganado Metroid por aplastante mayoría, aquí la lista:
The top 5 requests?
1- Metroid (2D or 3D, with many calling for Metroid Prime 4)
2- A new Pokémon Snap
3- A new F-Zero.
4- A new 3D Mario game (Galaxy 3 or Sunshine 2).
5- An original Dungeons-and-Dragons-style game with the GamePad player serving the role as dungeon master.
¿Les harán caso?
