My guess is something casual orientated. A franchise which had mass appeal on wii and/or ds. Brain training, nintendogs or something like wii sports in the sense it consists of several small games. If this is succesful, then maybe a mario/pokemon spin-off down the road.

Finally.
Finally, all of Nintendo's secrets will be revealed.
Finally, we will know why Mario wears white gloves.

Something like Nintendogs would really make a lot of sense. I can see the IAP now.

God what if it's just wii sports mobile.

Hoping for elite beat agents, rhythm heaven, or warioware. Will accept a new rusty game.
Will be disappointed if it's steel diver or nintendogs.

We shouldn't have to wait until monday for an official translation since it's in the middle of the week.
Nice, will be interesting.

I think it's very likely you'll be disappointed haha. I'm not expecting a sports game though because it's a phone.
 
I imagine their first mobile game will be just that, their first mobile game.

I think there will be others and their foot in the door probably won't be the nuclear bomb everyone wants it to be.

This is Kimishima's first briefing of his own so he might just us some cool info just to make a good first impression.

Any live-blogs or anything from somewhere else?

(The WSJ link says subscription required or something?)

Not expecting much but I got nothing else to do tonight.

Cool Facts: Game of War has been a hit since July 2013
They aren't going to reveal anything for Wii U or 3DS games, this is a meeting for rich investors who don't care about video games.

Yes, nintendogs really woyld make sense. Tamagotchi its a proven concept. It sold well in the 90s, it sold beastly on the DS. Might as well try the old trick in the book for smartphones. Its just a rage that keeps coming back once every ten years, anf now with everyone owning smartphones can be more popular than ever before.

Another thing they may try is making mario levels, but not playing them; lure them onto dedicated platforms for that, tot tie their businesses departments together.

I'm already liking this meme; he is the ruthless boss of the nintendo ninja's :).

The real question is this:

How long will it take for this game/app to reach the #1 spot on the App Store and Google Play?

I'd say it shouldn't take too long, the true real question, is how long it will stay in the top 10. That's what counts in the end.

Please do not be yet another block matching games. I don't care if you put pokemon skins on top of them.
Blow me away with genuine Nintendo magic.
 
Unless it's really cheap and then you might change your tune lol.

Your avatar gave me a thought, Dr Mario could work as a mobile game. It would be a perfect fit for first game really. It's hard to mess up, simple controls, tried and tested formula, Mario IP and won't piss off 3DS and Wii U owners by being too substantial.

Expect nothing -> leave with your sanity intact.
I try with great difficulty to attain this kind of "nothing-NES" zen... But the whispers of bombs being dropped keep me from total enlightenment. :/

Can't... ignore... the... hype...

Dr Luigi is kinda new though and has a price of a cell phone game. I hope they didn't go that route.
