Hey Guest. Check out your NeoGAF Wrapped 2025 results here!
Are you excited to see Nintendo's first mobile game?

Yeah, this is where I'm at right now. I expect it to be some runner or matching game.

As long as they put out official releases of the entire Advance Wars and Fire Emblem franchises, I'll be more than happy.

Basically this. While I've found that it is possible for good mobile games to exist, even the good ones I've found have been constrained to some degree by the control limitations of the platform. While I don't doubt that the games Nintendo releases will be of quality, I'm still not confident that mobile as a platform is capable of delivering truly satisfying experiences.
That said, if any dev can make a control scheme sing, it's Nintendo.

Pretty much. I expect Nintendo's mobile offerings to be primarily promotional ventures and not much more beyond that.

I'm one of the few excited, apparently. From the statements they've made about making the games ground up for mobile and not just some phoned-in advertisement, as well as their dislike for the current monetization trends, I have hopes that they can give us some fun, unique experiences.
I'm excited to see what they have for this first one.

So, wait, Pokemon Shuffle is officially the first of their mobile games? Or is something else coming up and Pokemon Shuffle is just an extra game?
I believe Pokemon games are separate from this deal, they already have games on the app store:

I don't really see kids playing angry birds anymore, it feels like its fallen off big time. Not positive though but i certainly don't see kids with angry birds stuff anymore like i used to in 2011

I was more excited for Iwata presenting the first mobile game :/
Frankly I wouldn't be surprised if this is one of the first offerings. Makes too much sense.
I hope it's something that can catch me as much as Hearthstone or game dev story did. Or stuff like You Must Build a Boat!
Mobile is just the platform.
The controls will be touch screens and we know nintendo is good at them - the DS predates the big smartphone gaming era, and does anyone doubt nintendo will have good gameplay mechanics?
My tablet is ready (I don't game on my phone for different reasons).

Want to see if they can do it, if they really can innovate of if its just an other F2P game in a genre that already is out on mobile.
And if its something completely new then its going to be copied and put on android in about 36 hours.

if they came up with it first and it became succesful, they can copy all they want like the minecraft copiers but it wont dethrone the original.

Honestly it sucks to hear that Nintendo won't be doing Gacha. There's something fun about getting a super rate unit and then wrecking everything in your path with it. But anyway, I'm expecting them to do a Fire Emblem game for mobile later down the line since the franchise seems to be doing good lately.

Not in the slightest. Have fun with it, I'll look for something else.

now that you mention it, kind of yeah. Never thought about it really
Wasn't their first already confirmed to be puzzle and dragons or something similar? In that case no. But I could see a future where Nintendo games are more or less the only mobile games I buy. Hoping that they can outcompete the King.coms of the world to make the loathsome mobile scene crash and burn if nothing else.
Also definately curious
Would like for it to be good, i hate gaming on iphone/ipad so far

You're most likely talking about P&D: Mario Edition and that's a game for 3DS.

Advance Wars would work well on mobile...

Yeah, I'm excited. It's going to be weird having a Nintendo game on my iPhone. Hopefully these games are a lot of fun. I don't expect them to replace my 3DS but I'm always up for a new time-waster on my phone.
I'm curious if we will see a Virtual Console app that functions like the Kindle app, Purchase games through the eShop and be able to DL them to the VC app.
Probably unlikely given how Nintendo runs VC games now (you DL the emulator in full with each game), but some of the slides seemed to hint at a mobile like VC.
Interested.

Not really, it's just going to be more f2p BS.

Yeah, I'm excited. Nintendo's game design pedigree could bring something interesting to the table.

I seriously want a new Punch Out or Advance Wars out of this. I have a phone that can actually run new games decently now.
It's pretty good.

I would love a VC on iOS. Seems like easy money.

probably the same way hundreds and probably thousands of other devs have. It's perfectly possible to make great games on mobile. They get released every week on ios.

Im sure it'll be worth playing over all the other garbage on mobile devices.
Yes, that sums it up quite well.
