But is it worth to make a deal with Nintendo, even their Seattle
headquarters (not in Kyoto), and pass their quality control check
(they are very keen to keep quality of derivatives, seeing the Atari
shock impact in '80s) and pay them loyalties? IMHO it would not the
best way of using Foundation staff's energy ... Even it may bring a
lot of money, it would better to be done with a third party.
