So it'll be something that will potentially affect other regions as well. Guess I'll tune in to the live stream.

Now it really does sound significant.
I can't wait to play Rainbow Curse on an IPad for $10.

Nintendo and Hype go together like Peanut Butter and Jelly in a sandwich.
Unhealthy, but it's satisfying.

You mean like the time where he said a 3DS revision isn't happening anytime soon, just a few days before the 3DS XL was announced?
Also, why blast a 60 minutes press conference on the announcement of an eShop app or something? Would be pretty...stupid.

Why do you always come off as so passive aggressive?

Here's how it went down:
Nintendo approached DeNA last month.
DeNA declined.
Iwata reconfirmed that Nintendo would not be going mobile.
Flash forward to about 30 minutes ago, DeNA reconsiders and agrees.
Surprise press conference is called.
Seems pretty clear to me.

good with gravy
Hopefully:
Mobile on Nintendo.
Eshop app
Miiverse app
I wish:
Unified eShop and Nintendo account with online browser and app management.

No idea. Not the intent. My apologies.
It's just frustrating that people seriously want this to be the avenue Nintendo go down, when it'd kill them.
That's not really a good comparison at all. Also, if Nintendo was going mobile I'm sure they wouldn't need DeNA lol.

I don't think they can afford to buy DeNA.

Whatever the outcome come no one deny it'll be glorious both ways.
Nintendo isn't "going mobile". Perhaps they might bring some mobile games in the future, but they don't need DeNA for that. They have their own channels and like to have full creative and marketing control of their products. They also aren't buying DeNA or whatever other crazy theory floats around.
Iwata had mentioned earlier this year that they plan to bring more mobile games à la Puzzle & Dragons on their platforms, and I'm confident this has to do with that.
It'll be interesting if it's something else, but I see no reason to panic.

This is clearly the Half Life 3 announcement....exclusively on mobile...by Nintendo
Honestly I'm going to bed and tomorrow this thread will balloon to 150 pages and meltdowns, lulz and dehype will happen like usual on GAF, or Iwata will signal the Nintenpocalypse. If Nintendo buys DeNA, expect MS and Sony to folloe Nintendo's lead like usual and start buying mobile developers to position the mobile wars.

Mainly the Peanut Butter being fatty. But I'm looking the nutrition facts of the Jif brand so the non-peasant brand might be better.

DeNA has seen drastic decline in profit over the past couple of years.
Their only money making venture, mobage, is desperately looking for ways increase revenue. What better way to do this than to offer their content on another platform?
By the same token, there's very little reason for Nintendo to buy a company that is bleeding money, but they would like a way to connect their products to mobile game audience.
Offering mobage games featuring Nintendo IP's on Nintendo platforms is a good compromise that would provide value to both parties.

This urban legend needs to fucking die. He never said that. He said and I quote :
in the context of new things to add to the 3DS' interface
He never said anything about a bigger model of a current system not " happening anytime soon". The 3DS XL didn't add anything to the 3DS' hardware.

A surprise press conference is what you would do if you wanted to announce something mobile related without letting crazy "Nintendo going mobile?!" speculation affect stock prices.
