Wasted resources used on a different input style that also requires a game engine porting. Pure BS.

The Nikkei just click baited the shit out of everyone and it worked.


As for the impending Nintendo Direct...well, of course. They do press events after every 3rd quarter financial report and of recent years that's included an ND.

Making game demos is completely BS, however something like a small mini game based on Mario's Cat suit for smartphones is not really something out of the question. I'm not completely in favor of that but I'm not against either (as long as they keep their consoles support)

I think the "problem" Nintendo is going to run into is when "Mario Cat Suit Frenzy" on iPhone gets downloaded 100 million times next to Mario 3D World selling maybe 6 million copies. 

That's kinda where I see this headed and I think Nintendo will eventually start to dabble more and more with smartphone mini-game gimmicks.
