Simple, release those games and Super Mario Bros. Charge for jumping a little higher and BAM, there you have it, unlimited money!


Can't really tell if you're being serious or not...

Regarding his history, I'm assuming he's joking around..


In a normal circumstance it would be a joke but this one was a reference. There was an investor that said the exact same thing, Mario should go mobile and should charge for "jumping higher" he sounded like it was it's wet dream.

So what would happen if Nintendo decided to put Brain Age in smartphones? Investors would keep pestering them to release Mario on smartphones too. You can't just send Brain Age and Nintendogs to smartphones without expecting investors to demand Mario on it too. Imagine if those two where successful, the logical thing to do then would be to start sending Donkey Kong, Mario, Zelda to smartphones. There is no way out once you start, it's like a drug, ask Square Enix.

A lot of Nintendos franchises are smartphone friendly. Just think about Game & Watch, these are "endless" games, often starring Mario, that could get enhanced with microtransactions or in-app-ads.

Mario CAN exist on smartphones in his 8-bit and 16-bit form simultaneous as HD-Mario runs around on the WiiU.
