I'm questioning whether you understand the mobile market. It will cost next to nothing to put ROMs on the app store and they'd be completely ad-supported by ads of current 3DS and Wii U games. I think it'd be a fantastic idea. |
You can fill out what he says with your own input, but the words he expressed showed no strategy or knowledge. He later tweeted along the lines of "by free, I mean Freemium" aka microtransactions. He has no idea how business models work and how they should be optimally imbedded in game design.
Nintendo wouldn't "simply release ROMs" unless they wanted to be cheap, which isn't Nintendo. They would also have to rework their strategy of eShop pricing. I'm not saying they shouldn't do that, I'm saying Pachter gave no actual meaningful advice. he just spat out words and trends that he thinks work. But he didn't actually think about what he was saying, or he just doesn't understand 1) the market, 2) Nintendo, 3) game development.
Also, the vast majority, if not all, DS titles would not work on a mobile phone.
