I'm convinced the business world just wants Nintendo to either make games for the iPhone or make their own smartphone. The idea that a specialized electronic device can exist in this day and age puzzles them.


This, the poor bastards just dont get it, but there probably not gamers. I will say this though, why not just have say like Ninty classics available on IOS?? Like the first Mario Bros. etc. Square has FF1 and 2 and Tactics. This doesnt stop them from keeping the original content on their own systems

Square Enix does not make their own hardware, and is not a competitor to Apple. And it's not like Apple can port some of their classic games to the 3DS as a trade. They have none. Besides, Nintendo sells their old games at $4 to $10 apiece. Will people really buy Ice Climbers instead of the 99 cent download of the day that gets a 96 on Metacritic? And if they do, will it be worth giving their competitors an answer to the 3DS's own virtual console AND a bit of cash from every purchase?
