Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Nintendo's New President Has Big Mobile Goals

The definition of slippery slope.

Obviously we won’t like this because we’re Westerners. Mobile gaming has a foothold in Asia and select other markets that don’t have the revenue to buy consoles, though, so it’s a great opportunity. If they’re just using this as a market for brand expansion and letting devoted mobile companies produce games branded with Nintendo IPs, I don’t see the problem. They’d just be expanding their market without sacrificing anything from the Switch.



Done right, this is not a bad move.

What are kids playing in these days? Mobile phones. How do you get kids hooked on your franchises nowadays? By being visible on todays most important kid market; the phone.

It's a sound strategy, and only selfish "hardcore gamers" oppose this strategy because they don't care what Will happen in 20 years time. They want their core games NOW. Or they simply don't understand



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

The less casual gimmicks/mobile games the better.

Worth a try I guess. Hopefully they use it as a tool to bring casual people into Nintendo games on their consoles..

Mobile gaming exist to support dedicated gaming. I bet that's what he intend to do in near future. SONY also trying to involve more on mobile gaming while maintaining market on dedicated gaming industries. It's not a bad thing.

Yep! But no one is hating on it though lol

I hope they succeed and become as successful as Sony is in the mobile market.



As long as he keep the current investment on console/hybrid gaming and that mobile is just a increase for the company I'm ok.
