Weird. It never made me download anything else(besides the actual apps I want)

That was my hope when they first announced their mobile games, but it doesn't make sense, Nintendo has no plans for core gamers, right now they are aiming at everyone or just casuals, and I don't see why that would change.

I would have been really happy if Nintendo kept taking care of core gamers alongside the casual market, but I don't see it happening. They're dumbing down their games more and more each years. Mor mario, Kirby, Animal crossing, Pokemon. Meanwhile Starfox, Metroid, and others are dying IPs.

It's just sad.

Wtf are you talking about?

Pokemon is much more complex than Gens I/II. Do you not realize how sophisticated the game actually is? 

Not just that- Sun/Moon is finally bringing a change- a good one. It has no sign of Pokemon being dumbed down.

As for animal crossing, in what way is it dumbed down? Are you talking about the spinoffs no one cares about? Or the main series? I'll understand if you're talking about the spinoffs. as for the main series, it was always extremely kid-friendly. 

Its not like Mario Run would have been made on the 3DS or WiiU if Nintendo decided not to enter the mobile market. Its just a simple title to get people interested in the franchise. If the next Mario game for the NX is also being released on mobiles, then I would start worrying.

I don't think it's really worse per say. I mean one of biggest reasons Fire Emblem Awakening and Fates are selling so well compared to their predecessors was the fact they made it accessible to gamers other than the hardcore audience. For me, and I'm sure for others, Fire Emblem was a series was interested in since Melee but never really got around to get into the games until Awakening. Sure the art style and the game play were great but to have casual mode put less pressure on me while playing FE for the first time, let alone a turn based strategy game.

Mario has always been known for easy to play hard to master. Donkey Kong is still challenging even in his latest adventures. Mainline Pokemon games are already known to be for everyone (though they have been a tad easier to complete, though I personally don't mind). I've played a lot of Nintendo's recent games and they're not often dumbed down to me (I guess Skyward Sword took it a little too far but I enjoyed it nonetheless).

I respect your opinion, but I disagree as well. I think they're still releasing excellent games that are just trying to see a broader audience. Core gamers are a smaller audience compared to the casual audience in general. If people here in this forum are complaining that Nintendo's core audience is dwindling (like 70+ million if you count the 3DS user base which is still Nintendo mind you), then just reaching out to the core isn't going to get it done. Of course a balance of core and casual audience is preferred. I don't know, I've played games for a long time and might just have a different perspective and experience from you.

Yes, zippy. A game that didn't enter full force development until it was clear that the Wii U was a failure and shows drastic changes compared to its predecessors counts as a glimpse of the future. You can bet your butt that Aonuma doesn't like making an open world Zelda because that has severe influences on how the story can be told and how puzzles can be implemented. But while Aonuma doesn't like it, consumers sure seem to look forward to all the changes.

If none of the above convinces you, you still have to admit that an actual game counts for more than fears for an imaginary future.

Kinda like saying someone should be ashamed of themselves for getting hit by a tsunami. 

Mobile revolution has changed the world, just like television and the internet did. It is one of those things that happens maybe every 30 years where some technology changes human civilization basically. 

3DS/Vita never had a prayer of not being massively impacted.
