Today the Pokemon Company  announced that Pokémon Shuffle has been downloaded over 1 million times globally, about two weeks after release.

For those who don't know, Pokemon Shuffle is a freemium puzzle game developed by Genius Sonority and published by Nintendo, which play like puzzle dragons and similar games. In the game you get to capture pokemons and use them in battles, where you win by matching 3 or more figures. the game keeps the elemental system from Pokemon games and each pokemon has a special hability, and sometimes a mega evolution.

There is a microtransaction system, but you play the whole game without using it, if you have patience to wait the jewels "recharge".

Now, after playing it i really think it belongs to the mobile space and could actually do a lot more money there. What you guys think? 

I agree. Nintendo hardware should not have this kind of microtransactions-based games, it won't make that much profits. And if it goes to mobile, the investors will once again try forcing Nintendo to go mobile. This game should not exist, or at least, it shouldn't be based on microtransactions.

I agree about the resources going to Nintendo plataforms, but this game has mobile written all over it. Since it is done already, don't see the harm.

It could cause a snowball effect, if this game ends up being popular on mobile then investors will keep pressing for a Nintendo to release more mobile games which takes resources away from their own platforms.

This game seems basically to test the waters... see how people will react to a F2P Nintendo game on Nintendo consoles.

So, no I don't think they should release this for iOS/Android

This is not a matter of if it should or shouldn't....it's a matter of fact that it should. This game would do very well on mobile platforms given Nintendo actually markets the game...which they haven't been able to do with any of their games as of late. Having it as a 3DS only title, doesn't really seem right.

May as well since I am sure there will be clones anyway

Pokemon Shuffle should never have been made.
