| Nuvendil said: Honestly, people are losing their minds here but I actually don't see the issue if they do this as they describe. This won't be where Nintendo's next games go. IP are more flexible than that, especially mascot based ones. I expect things like Puzzles and Dragons crossovers, Dedede's Drum Dash type things, and more things akin to Pokemon Trading Card game. This could help their other sectors. It could provide a lot of brand exposure and recognition. |
I think you have the right idea here. ditto this. Smartphones can't handle/isn't a fit for most of Nintendo's games anyway. Aside from what you mentioned, I could see something like Pokemon Shuffle and other spin-off games also coming in. But they don't want to put out anything too cheap because then people won't value their full-fledged games at the price they do, and they don't want to put anything too pricey because then people are less likely to buy it etc. -- they're jumping in on the mobile market at a point that there's a ton more info/research on it and it's much more obvious what moves/way to go about things are better than others. I think theirchance for success is high and at worst, their treasure chest takes a hit and they move on to doing something they know how to do (but again, they have DeNa helping here who supposedly knows what they're doing so with Nintendo's supervision, I can't see this going horribly wrong; and if it does, I'll wait until that actually happens and then do my job as a "Nintendo fan" and let them know.)
