So, I take it Amiibo will debut in 2008 or so?Amiibo was already happening earlier (2010) ITTL since Tim and Chris Stamper apparently had the idea back during the N64 days but now Bandai is probably gonna make it happen even sooner.

I'd shoot for the 2009-2010 fiscal year. That's when the Wii peaked in terms of hardware sales.So, I take it Amiibo will debut in 2008 or so?

Will most likely debut with or slightly after Brawl ITTL so around 2008-2009.I'd shoot for the 2009-2010 fiscal year. That's when the Wii peaked in terms of hardware sales.
That depends if Brawl is even in OTL schedule, could be pushed forward or back because butterflies.Will most likely debut with or slightly after Brawl ITTL so around 2008-2009.
Fable was originally a Dreamcast title, and Nintendo has/had an "Ambassador Program" for games devs who were developing on the Dreamcast.@Gaminguy010 remind me how Nintendo got fable? IIRC Molyneux was very big supporter of MS, come from the Black and White port?
A Recent One from just before E3 2003 (This one was specifically hinting at Fable)One of the ways Nintendo was attracting developers was by giving Dreamcast developers a discount on licensing fees. Developers would get a discount should they port their Dreamcast titles to the GameCube. Nintendo said that this how they acquired the critically acclaimed Half Life for the GameCube’s launch.

After much back and forth the discount amount of the final game in our “Dreamcast to GameCube Ambassador” program has been approved, with a final publishing discount of 40%. The developers are intending to showcase the game at E3 this year. The offices at Sega assisting in handling the program can now be diverted or closed.
With Thanks
Satoru Iwata, President of Nintendo
Nice use of the concept of Ambassador program ITTL, oh I see, I was reading up but that was a nice surprise hidden in plain sight, I always thought fable was planned for ps2 onward(only MS that wanted the exclusive) but if was already on DC, Molyneux got lucky that break. Especially as Nintendo would want that exclusive too.Fable was originally a Dreamcast title, and Nintendo has/had an "Ambassador Program" for games devs who were developing on the Dreamcast.
Fable got a discount on the licensing fee for shifting development to the GameCube and it's the last game to receive this special treatment.
This is also how Nintendo got Half-Life, as a Dreamcast port was in development. (OTL Half-Life Blue Shift was originally exclusive Dreamcast content but ended up on the PC.)

The first Nintendo anime to be dubbed by Funimation. While previous anime series such as Sonic X, Kirby: Right Back At Ya! Were given to 4Kids, Nintendo of America offered the dub rights to Funimation before 4Kids as they thought the F-Zero series was better geared towards older kids and teens. Funimation handeled the show much better than OTL's 4Kids. Funimation kept the show's original opening theme and kept the names of the characters the same. Ryu Suzaku didn't get name changed to Rick Wheeler and Miss Killer wasn't changed to Luna Ryder. Cartoon Network bought the broadcast rights and began airing the series on their anime oriented Toonami Block. Airing at 5:00 PM EST, F-Zero would be the opening show on the Toonami Block.
Reception was overwhelmingly positive. While there was some criticism from fans of the series that the anime didn’t follow the games canon close enough, these complaints were drowned out by the praises of the line deliveries by the voice cast. The reception to the voice cast was so positive that Nintendo would start using them for the games. Most notably Christopher Sabat who became Captain Falcons permanent English voice actor, first being used in Super Smash Bros DS.
Did this helped the game In the west too? So F-zero doesn't fall in his OTL hiatus? Maybe climax is localized or we got a day F-zero DS game too?Promotional Art
1. I looked up a list of anime based on games and Nintendo doesn't have any after F-Zero. (Barring anything that gets created as a result of butterflies.)1: Will this motivate Nintendo to give the rest of their anime to Funimation to dub?
2: So, Smash will be on the Nintendo DS in this timeline. Cool!
3: Did Toonami see a boost of success and/or popularity from starting with this show?
4: Barring that, will past Nintendo shows air reruns on Cartoon Network and/or Boomerang?
Yes. F-Zero anime is a massive boost to F-Zero GX sales and the F-Zero GP Legend GBA game, but Climax is butterflied away and replaced with a DS launch title developed by the F-Zero GX Team.Did this helped the game In the west too? So F-zero doesn't fall in his OTL hiatus? Maybe climax is localized or we got a day F-zero DS game too?
Nice if that includes the track editor we've a possible hit in the making. And that is Yakuza team IIRCreplaced with a DS launch title developed by the F-Zero GX Team
So what about Stuart Snyder? Does he work for Nickelodeon or something?CN Real is not real ITTL.
There is the animal crossing animated movie but f zero failure in the west seems made Nintendo stop making anime , here that was changed1. I looked up a list of anime based on games and Nintendo doesn't have any after F-Zero
The 2007 Boston Mooninite Panic is being butterflied away so Jim Samples doesn't have to resign. Struart Snyder is a non-factor, continuing to do whatever he was doing before then.So what about Stuart Snyder? Does he work for Nickelodeon or something?
Well, What more Cartoons can you think of in this alternate timeline?The 2007 Boston Mooninite Panic is being butterflied away so Jim Samples doesn't have to resign. Struart Snyder is a non-factor, continuing to do whatever he was doing before then.
First time hearing about him but what sega of japan do to both Chris(Chris senn and Christina coffin) was downright criminal OTLMichael Kosaka
Next Chapter: Sonic XWhat's next?
Agreed. I have plans for both of them in MGH, but not at Sega.First time hearing about him but what sega of japan do to both Chris(Chris senn and Christina coffin) was downright criminal OTL
Come to think of it, does that mean that Sonic X won’t have Chris Thorndyke ITTL?Next Chapter: Sonic X
