Nintendo not planning to get back into board games anytime soon
I interpret your question as rather a proposal that the company might want to consider developing not only digital products but also analog ones in order to expand the gaming population. From the perspective of Nintendo’s business deployments in the world, computer software games offer exceptional conveniences to our business, as they can be easily mass produced once the hardware becomes popular enough and can be delivered to many people at a time. Further, our products have the advantage that they can organically combine the other technologies in line with evolutions of digital and network technologies. Of course, I am not saying that we will never consider the possibility of deploying any analog-based entertainment at all. In fact, Nintendo, as the company which originally manufactured and still has been manufacturing analog playing cards (both Western- and Japanese-style), will continue to manufacture them. I would like to take your question as advice that the company may be able to find an interesting and fun opportunity when it combines our current strengths in computer-based interactive entertainment with the analog ones. - Satoru Iwata
