If they play their cards right, Nintendo will hit the jackpot. I'm thinking something Pokemon card/collect game

I guess I spend a lot of time on my phone. I can type 60 wpm with a touch keyboard.I cant even control the normal functions on my smartphone without making mistakes due to the damn touchscreen (on a daily basis).
Why this is on mobile but not 3DS or wiiu is why they need a unified solutionBut Pokemon TCG is already on mobile

I mean, there has to be a practice element to being able to control IOS games comfortably.
Supposedly, with the NX and DeNA's online infrastructure, all the mobile games they'll release will also be compatible on next handheld/home console, or at least, it would be super easy to port them.I don't see what all the hysteria over IP is about. Let's say they do release some kind of F-Zero game on iOS or something. Would they now NOT make one on console or handheld? The cost of making these, I would imagine, would be incrediblely low compared to full HD development. They could probably make both simultaneously and generate much more buzz on launch day. Kind of like how they released Metroid Prime and Fusion on the same day.
I guess what I'm saying is that the exposure that Nintendo could possibly get from mobile development could actually increase the chance of getting another traditional entry in a long dormant franchise like F-Zero.

I don't see a bad side here except Nintendo not owning the entire echo system of a gaming experience. Honestly, it's a good thing since the Wii, Wii U, and 3DS never met their full potential. Get out of the hardware market and just do what you do best, because it definitely isn't hardware.
Nintendo will live on to see another day, thankfully. Can't wait to see cross-platform integration for their games.
There's a difference between noting the market forces at work that [in the long term] will still [increasingly] create pressure for divestment from dedicated hardware production and/or software publishing.What honestly pisses me off is people who think there's no need for the traditional style of game or console. Saying that any style of games need to go away makes you an asshole.
Yeah I'm definitely out. I'll still play retro games and whatever actual games Nintendo still releases but from this point I'll stop following the industry, have fun ppl.
I don't see why a mobile Animal Crossing couldn't be as fully featured as those released on any other platform it has released on.
And they won't need to charge $40-50 for a mobile Animal Crossing. Because the amount of people with phones is so much bigger than the amount of people with a 3DS and/or Wii U they'll be able to make more profit with a lower pricepoint and multiple times the number of sales.
Since they are a bigger game company it wouldn't surprise me if they priced it in the upper boundaries for mobile games ($10-20), but including optional microtransactions (buy furniture with real money or something like that) would be a goldmine for them and if they aren't intrusive they wouldn't alienate the existing fanbase.
I doubt many big franchises will make it over to mobile since Nintendo needs them to sell their own consoles, but if a game isn't necessarily a system seller and they'd stand to make more on a mobile version in the long run then I don't see why they wouldn't.
In any event, I would presume the type of sentiment you're referring to in the latter case happens far more towards mobile.
Substitution forces have hit the handheld segment and hit it hard. It has been the most impacted in essentially every market, with the exception of Japan perhaps, where the handheld segment has itself served as substitute for home systems masking that decline. This is a step in the right direction in acknowledging the monumental shifts in the industry that have occurred.
But it isn't going to stop the rising tide.
Nintendo just selling a dock that plays mobile games doesn't really seem like that good idea to me. It would probably be better to just make a console with the ability to play your mobile games through their new service.Exactly. This is why I think the NX will be a docking system with HDMI out and wireless controllers that you can plug your mobile phone into. Nintendo is going to be developing software that will run on mobile processors (which are getting more powerful) so you can play it on the go, or sit back at home and play it on the big screen with a controller. That would bridge the gap between mobile and console, and also allow Nintendo to focus on the software development without worrying about their console becoming outdated.

I disagree. Here's why:
1) How are they going to make a dock that works with the myriad of tablets and phones out there, and works with both Android and iOS devices?
2) They won't give up having a stable platform where they get 100% of the revenue instead of only 70%.
What do you think Dena is/does? Even if they only sell premium games they'll still have need of denas services.The only thing they'll be selling are IAPs. If Nintendo was going to release premium mobile games, they wouldn't need DeNA. Mobile premium games are a niche and no, they don't usually sell in enough volume to make up for the lower pricepoint and 30% Apple/Google fee.
Mark my words, Nintendo is going for F2P, online, games-as-a-service market, the one that actually makes money in mobile-land. That's what they really mean when they say they aren't going to port any games and build games designed for mobile.
I don't think they've announced anything for PC today. They announced that DeNA is working on a membership program that can be accessed through accounts on various platforms including PC, but that's most likely to buy on the eShop and stuff like that and not actual games.Si, Mario for W10 is an option?
I don't think he ever mentioned "console" either, just dedicated gaming platform.I feel like everyone should keep in mind that when Iwata says console or hardware, he can mean handheld too. There have been many times where he has described the 3DS as a console. Usually the first thing that comes to mind when people hear the word console is that it means for the home.
No that was 2 years ago.

If I was only concerned about managing Nintendo for this year and next yearand not about what the company would be like in 10 or 20 yearsthen Id probably say that my point of view is nonsense. But if we think 20 years down the line, we may look back at the decision not to supply Nintendo games to smartphones and think that is the reason why the company is still here.
Pokemobile might shatter the charts.

Inwas thinking on mobiles, Windows phone with W10. But I don't think they to sell anything on MS' gaming platforms.I don't think they've announced anything for PC today.

No, see project NX, they confirmed a new, game focused system, although it isn'tclear if handheld or home console.This means no more handhelds right ?
IMO, Vita should be Sony's last handled while Nintendo can stand to try one or two more times.
You don't understand. Pokémon on mobile? That's ALREADY their most progressive online experience.
Nintendo just won.
