As a 3DSXL and Wii U owner who thinks they're the best things since sliced bread, what i would love to see, and what i think would mean big money and big sales for Nintendo, is a Nintendo/Apple agreement. Nintendo would makes games for iOS exclusively, including porting their Virtual Console, and in return, Apple would be able to make an 'iOS Mode' for the gamepad, practically turning it into an iPhone for iMessaging and syncing with an itunes account. Users could download any and all music and apps that they've already purchased, relying of course on apps that dont require multi-touch. It would be the biggest E3 megaton of all time. |
That would kill the only division Nintendo can count on when their home consoles are in trouble and where their main profit comes from, which are the handheld sales. No way that's gonna happen.

I dont think they should port handheld games to iOS devices, i mean they should also make simpler games for iOS devices, new and different versions of games without porting the big well known titles that should stay exclusive to the 3DS. That would raise more awareness for Nintendo in general, bring in more people who want to give their actual hardware a go.

I see. Well, I still don't think that would benefit Nintendo in any way, but, based on what you said in that post, it's likely that it wouldn't hurt them either. However, I don't see that happening unless Nintendo gets in a deep financial trouble, and, if they get to that point, it's more likely going 3rd party than making a deal with Apple, IMO.

Can you imagine an iOS re-release of the original 2 gens of Pokemon. Logging in with your NNID once the systems for 3DS/Wii U are merged, then getting bonuses of some sort in Pokemon X/Y for playing the originals on iOS? Maybe finishing the elite 4 in the first 2 gens on iOS unlocks those starter pokemon as catchable in the wild for X/Y. The potential is massive, they don't have to port big new releases to iOS. This is of course wishful thinking lol.
