How Did People Even Think of the Idea That Nintendo Should Go Mobile?

I'll answer your question with another question... what's the difference between games like Nintendo Land or NSMB U and your average smartphone game?

The smartphone games cost $59 less.

The huge gap in quality?

Really?  I've played both... you could take all of the minigames found in Nintendo Land and put them on smartphones or tablets, and they'd work just as well if not better.

You don't need a $300 console to play an on-rails, tilt-controlled version of F-Zero or touch-heavy games like Yoshi's Fruit Cart and Ninja Castle.   And you won't need 4 extra controllers and  have to fight your friends over who gets to use the gamepad when playing the multiplayer games.

Nintendo could sell all those mini games separately for a couple bucks apiece and they'd literally rake in billions from all the mobile /tablet users out there.

And if you think a game like NSMB can't be done on mobile or tablet devices... they already put the greatest Sonic game ever on these devices.

Did you play any game you mention?

metriod blast as good on tablet?

did you play the sonic game because it sure as heck doesn't have great level design.

Yep, played both Nintendo Land and NSMBU along with Zombi U at my buddy's last year... he picked up a Wii U at launch, and it basically collected dust for most of 2013.

As I said, any of the dozen Nintendo Land minigames could be ported to mobile devices with a few minor tweaks and would be just as successful on their own.

And the Sonic game I was referring to was Sonic CD... hence the phrase "greatest Sonic game ever."
