Top Ten Reasons Why Disney Shouldn't Buy Nintendo

Disney's already bought enough stuff. But buying Nintendo is the worse idea I've ever heard.

The Top Ten

  1. They would ruin good franchises

    Even it's a what-if thing, Disney has ruined franchises, such as Lucas Film's Star Wars and Marvel. If Disney gets their hands on anything else. Then entertainment would become childish and boring. But that's my opinion. Don't hate me.

    It would suck to see Star Fox ruined. It would be ruined even more if Disney crosses it over with The Lion King if they buy Nintendo. DO NOT WANT.

    Like they already ruined and continue to ruin several of their own (Wreck-It Ralph, Toy Story, Frozen, and the Disney Princesses)?

  2. Disney has already bought enough franchises and ruined them.

    Disney is a greedy pig. That's all I have to say.

    I'm afraid that, with all that money they got from their latest box office successes, such as the new Star Wars film being the all-time highest grossing movie in the box office nowadays, I fear that they have enough money to buy a video game company like Nintendo. Do not want.

    Agreed. Disney should never buy any more, yet the idea of them buying Nintendo is a horrible idea, also unlikely since Nintendo has been around way longer than Disney has, and the whole Japanese law or something is what keeps a company like Disney from buying a company like Nintendo.

  3. They would turn Nintendo into a toy company

    Yeah I know Nintendo use to be a toy company and they make toys for some of their franchises. But Disney would just milk it for toys until the cow runs outta milk.

    Now instead of getting the master sword in a game, you play with a foam version of it! Now instead of catching Pokemon in a game, you get to buy foam pokeballs!

    Nintendo Was a toy company, so maybe it would work out?

  4. They would make everything cringey

    It would suck to see what Disney would do with Fire Emblem. Think of ten horrific possibilities:

    1. They would depict Karel as a villain or antagonist instead of the anti-hero turned wise mentor he happens to be in Fire Emblem 7: Blazing Sword and Fire Emblem 6: Binding Blade respectively. That would suck, given that he never had an antagonistic role and was an ally to the heroes in both games he's in. In addition, Guy would be seen as the "Saint of Swords" instead of Karel, and would be portrayed as his heroic archenemy instead of his pupil on his same side in the game. That would just suck and would make the series mediocre at best.

    2. The lords would recruit Harken in this storyline instead of Karel, while Karel is portrayed as one of the antagonists. Just because you prefer one character over another doesn't make the other character "evil".

    3. Lyn would be changed into a black woman for the sake of Disney's obsession with putting diversity into everything they touch. Very unlike her original, fair-skinned appearance from Nintendo's game.

    4. Ike would have to be changed into a noble heir to the throne who's similar to Simba which is very unlike his character in the games he's in (Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance/Radiant Dawn), where he is a non-noble leader of a mercenary gang. And Disney would probably give him a love interest, too. (Not every fictional character needs one in my opinion)

    5. Soren would have to be changed into a girl for the sake of Disney wanting Ike to have a love interest. If not, they would probably make Soren a villain just because of his colors, personality and effeminate appearance.... read more

  5. Popular female Nintendo characters (regardless of actual royal status) would be assimilated into the Disney Princesses

    Someone on the "why Ralph Breaks the Internet is a terrible movie" list said the infamous Princess scene "should have been Nintendo Princesses instead". To which I say: eff no, and eff you!

    Quite possibly including the female versions of characters like Robin and Corrin from "Fire Emblem" or Villager from "Animal Crossing". Also making the female versions the ONLY versions.

    If one more person tries to shove Nintendo girls into that cringey meme that awful "sequel" film and that scene with the Disney Princesses spawned, may that person suffer Isabelle's Final Smash 100x over.

  6. They would break up Nintendo's iconic duos/groups

    A movie version of one or both Tellius "Fire Emblem" games (I.e. the ones with Ike), ending with Ike and Soren forever apart, maybe "occasionally" seeing or hearing from each other at "best"? And that because of some "destiny" one or the other must fulfill, or one of them found his "true calling" (and/or "true love") in a situation that doesn't really make sense given his established character? H.E. Double hockey sticks. If. You. See. Kay. NO!

    That's been Disney's "thing" lately. And Lord knows we certainly do not need to see Mario and Luigi grow apart and go their separate ways forever!

  7. Disney would have to change an existing character into a racial stereotype for the sake of adding more diversity.

    Just look what happened when Disney bought out Marvel back in 2009, they somehow race-lifted some of their characters in later issues or such. The characters from the original Marvel comic of Big Hero 6 were an all-Japanese cast, but when Disney made the animated film adaption, they race-lifted those characters into multiple ethnic groups for the sake of the diversity trend. I am worried that, if Disney were to buy a game company such as Nintendo, they would do the same to their characters. This is why they can't buy them. If you really want to add more diversity to a cast, then it's better to make entirely new characters instead of changing existing ones.

  8. They might try and make a Nintendo movie

    I would really, really hate to see what Disney would do to Fire Emblem if they get their hands on the franchise; They would turn Karel into a villain (which he never was), and they would turn characters such as Lyn or Hector into people of color for the sake of adding diversity, which is not what the characters intended to be, and they would give one of the main protagonists an annoying comic-relief sidekick, which I'm so sick of. Plus, they would take away what made the series great in the first place and replace them with overused tropes and cliches that we already seen in their movies. That would be just dumb and downright horrible.

  9. They would make Toadette barefoot

  10. They would make horrible TV shows out of good Nintendo games.

    Well, Pokemon already has a show. And Mario and Zelda had shows in the 1980s. And Kirby has an anime. But Disney would take it to far and milk that cow until the cow has just about had it.

    Gee, it sure is boring around here, MY BOI!

    11. The Newcomers
  11. ?

    Nintendo Princesses, like Peach and Zelda, will act like Disney Princesses.

    Peach, Daisy, Rosalina and Zelda would get stupid Disney Princess movies and musicals. They make Rosalina have a bigger ballgown and no powers. They make Peach more useless. They will make Daisy more girly.

    Worse, like the Disney Princesses as seen (and sadly still merchandised as of late 2020) in Ralph Breaks The Internet!

  12. ?

    Even Kirby will get a preschool show on Disney Junior

    Agreed, I believe that they would do the same thing to Yoshi too

    13. The Contenders

  13. Disney would give Nintendo's franchises the live-action remake or direct-to-video sequel treatment.

    The sequels wouldn't have to be direct to video, either. Disney did in fact release several subpar sequels theatrically in recent years.

    I am so sick of Disney milking everything to death. Hope this does not happen to beloved video games of the non-Disney side.

  14. They would ruin Fire Emblem

    You know how FE Heroes has versions of various characters in alternate outfits like wedding dresses, Santa Claus outfits, and swimwear like you'd see at a modern day beach or water park? Well, if Disney gets involved, we'll get characters (particularly the females) in grubby close-fit T-shirts with either leggings or shorts that would be called "panties" if they were made of a different material. Worse, the shirts would have some image or catchphrase that at "best" shows a very shallow, stereotypical view of the character. Then again, maybe the "Wrecked Princesses"/"comfy squad" trend has finally passed.

    You mean turn every single female character, possibly including the female versions of Robin, Corrin, and Byleth, into obnoxious radfem Tumblrinas? When meanwhile even Lyn and Sully were nothing like that.

  15. They own WAY too many things now

    This terrifies me, because when there were rumors when Disney would buy Hasbro, I thought it would be true. The MLP movie is out, and it can, if not, WILL happen. I'm just terrified if Nintendo gets into that sort of pickle.

    I totally agree! They bought 21st Century Fox, Marvel, The Muppets, Star Wars and etc.

  16. They would add a tickling mechanic to every single game there is.

    If they did that crap I would bring all the anti-change Nintendo fans together and form a company called "GameSaviors" and buy back Nintendo. Then I would let Nintendo do whatever it wanted.

    *Shudders* If they do that, I will be so mad, I might just work together with other angry Nintendo fans to buy nintendo back.

    Nintendo is already kid friendly, but Disney would take it too far.

  17. Disney would try to take control of Nintendo and their properties and turn them into what Nintendo did not intend them to be.

    Disney, stop being greedy and buying everything you see... You have your own studio. Stop buying everything that doesn't belong to you.

  18. They will make legend of Zelda a musical.

    Never, in my life could I see anyone but anyone who sings in the game, singing some high note. That would end the world, Link, Zelda and the rest of them would drown in hate thanks to the Dicky mouse makers.

    Legend Of Zelda is about classic things, I would hate pop music in Hyrule...

  19. Disney will spread it's stereotypical views about animals and such onto Nintendo's franchises.

    Exactly. If Disney got their greedy mouse gloves on, say, Star Fox, then they'll have Fox and his team fight against spotted hyenas instead of the wolves, pigs, monkeys, reptiles, dinosaurs, alien invasion or fish like in the previous Star Fox games, because they think that "the LYIN KING IS the BEST ever! 1".

    Just imagine what they'll do to Pokemon if they did that! And don't get me started on what the PETA did with Pokemon Black & Blue! That game was an insult to what Pokemon was all about.

  20. Nintendo's too mature for Disney

    And that's another reason why that American company should have no purchased the Power Rangers, Lucasfilm, and Marvel Comics.

  21. Nintendo characters would be in Kingdom Hearts

    And the worst case scenario for this? Karel from Fire Emblem: Blazing Blade as an antagonist working alongside Sephiroth and/or the Heartless and Nobodies. That would suck.

  22. All the Nintendo heroes would have to team up with Simba

    I agree with the comment about Link killing Simba and using his heart as a heart container.

    But Simba is awesome although I don't want a crossover with nintendo

  23. There would be even more ads on TV

    If you're sick hearing about Disney's ads non-stop, then you better pray they don't buy Nintendo.

  24. All the Nintendo villains would have to team up with Scar or have the whole hyena population as henchmen

    It is bad enough that the Pooh's Adventures community does this with every antagonist they see. We just don't want it being turned into "official".

    Not all hyenas have to be bad, you know.

  25. They might make a Nintendo and Disney crossover

    NGL, I wanted "Wreck-It Ralph" content (fighters, stages, Assist Trophies) in "Smash for 3DS/Wii U", the "Smash Bros" game released closest to "Ralph's" theatrical run. But any more Disney representation in "Smash" (including Sora), no thank you.

    Much as I'd love to beat up their recent "gotta love them because their so progressive" characters (e.g. Judy Hopps, Shank) with my Smash mains, Imma have to say no to this.

    Sora is in Smash Ultimate now, but other than that thing on the end of his giant key no other Disney references are made.

  26. They might try to make a video game

    KH is a terrible game franchise, not good at all. Disney Infinity is just Disney's answer to Skylanders. Also, Disney is so bad for gaming that I heard that Disney Infinity is no longer in prodiction and that Disney Interactive has closed down for good.

    I heard Disney infinity was good. If they bought Nintendo of course there would be pros and cons. But it would be cool to have Nintendo characters in Disney infinity.

    I would only like it of they made a video game where the universes fight like Street Fighter X Tekken or Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe. But that's probably the only video game I would like see but apart from that I would not like to see any video game

  27. Every character would be sugar-coated
