Nintendo developed Mario and other games in the future for Smarthphone. My thoughts: "Casual players" will only play in Japan (maybe here too) the games on Smarthphones. This will damage the console sales. Or harm the Smarthphone development rather handheld business from Nintendo? And that's one of the reasons that UbiSoft and EA are not coming back. How do you find it that Nintendo wants to develop games for Smarthphones? Maybe no more EA/Ubisoft Games for nintendo consoles ?
I'm curious on your thoughts.



Around the Network

Well considering they both make games for smartphones, I doubt it would really make much impact.



Absolutely NO.



EA and Ubisoft will follow the money as usual. They'll make a couple of old ports as launch titles to see how they sell on the new system: if they sell well, and the console sells decent numbers, they will bring some of their games. If they don't sell well, they will blame Nintendo and its fanbase.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Hope they're not coming back on Nintendo. It's already sticky enough.

Around the Network

Games on smartphones are Nintendo's new plan for audience expansion, with a network driven platform (accessible to varying degrees across smartphones, PC, portable and home consoles) being their plan for audience retention.

EA/Ubisoft's presence on this platform will most likely depend on what hardware configuration Nintendo come up with for the home/portable units (or unit if it's a combined system, which I personally doubt). I expect Nintendo will use relatively powerful mobile architecture in their home console, meaning EA will skip the device. Ubisoft, who are a bit more experimental and varied in their output, might support the NX. At the very least, I think Ubisoft will make a play for some marketshare on NX. EA seem more content to restrict their support to Microsoft/Sony so they can aim for #1 publisher in that market; they'll only ever be #2 at best on a Nintendo platform and I don't think they can be bothered competing there, especially if Nintendo's future hardware doesn't align with EA's plans.



This OP could deserve to be about 40% more cogent.



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

Good.

Add Activision to the shit list and get Square, Namco, Monolith (already there), Atlus , NIS, etc onboard WITH Wii U and we'd have the perfect console.



Good Riddance, especially in the case of EA. Ubisoft is still there with smaller titles like Just Dance and Child of Light and these are actually good and innovative. if they would leave it that way I'll be more than fine with it.

I'd doubt if EA would even come back if Nintendos next Console would be vastly superior to PS4/Xbox ONE, because I'm sure they will again vote against any Origin Inclusion the way EA would want to have it (selling EA Titles through it to bypass the eShop), so they're gone for good. Their loss, our win, I guess

Did you just call Just Dance innovative...?
