Oh the full article makes it more clear. I guess it'll be like say Mario 3D World, the cat suit is a main power up for example, so maybe they'd release a smartphone Mario 3D World app that has a Mario catsuit mini-game or something.

Not a bad idea tbh. If they charge $1 for each minigame they can make a lot of money, plus it's advertisement for the real game on the 3DS and/or Wii U. 

And more importantly, it will keep investors happy.


The demos will be free, but I suspect as time goes on and Nintendo sees the sheer number of downloads (which will probably be huge) ... it could lead to a more iOS/Android centric Nintendo that banks on things like free 2 play/freemium models. I dunno. I don't like where this is headed.

I wish they had just gotten their sh*t together with the Wii successor and made sane design decisions and sound software planning when making it, but alas. Had to bank the whole thing on another gimmick controller and this time it backfired. So now it's come to this.
