How Nintendo could and should go Mobile

That's actually a brilliant idea and I think it would work really well for them without them having to comprise the quality of their console games while opening themselves up to the mobile market. They should make IOS exclusive party, puzzle, mini-game style games featuring their characters and art. Keep them short, simple, cheap and addictive. The funnest, most addictive puzzle game I've played was from Nintendo(Tetris Attack or Pokemon Puzzle Challenge), if they released an updated version for phones god I'd play forever. Wario-Ware for phones I think would be a HUUUGE Hit.

I don't think there shouldn't be any main platformers or main console games though, they can keep that on their hardware and maintain the value of their console. Something like Super Mario 3D World, Mario Kart 8 or Smash Brothers on an iphone sounds like the dumbest idea ever and would be a fucking mess.(well mario can just run though on auto and all you have to do is jump) yea that sound even worse. Nothing screams fun like watching Mario run through 3D world and just pushing jump at kinda the right moment. What they can do is promot the hell out of their console and hardware through this mario world app(I imagine it would be called something like that). If they can do ad campaigns on itunes and app stores for their next console game they can be where the people are.

Well, the games shouldn't be TOO fun or TOO addictive, since Nintendo would want the people to actually buy their HW and "real" games as well ;)
