some of you really need to get over yourselves. You are not the sacred holders of anything Nintendo, please. Them having stuff on mobile wouldnt take away from anything they do regularly. The money they could make would be worth it and you could have your "pure" Nintendo. everyone wins. And no it being on mobile isnt going to take away sales from the "real" games since people buying the mobile and vice versa understand the difference.

 The problem with that is opening the door. If nintendo were to release games on smartphones, they will make some big profits at first, but it is well documented mobile sucess does not equal continued growth.

  What I see Nintendo doing down the road is to create a Nintendo app, where you can buy games and play them within the same app. Release VC games on it, but always keeping control of it. Put adds for wiiU and 3ds games there and keep it small.

but they are not growing now and it doesnt look like they will anytime soon. they have to do something. Cause new Smash and Zelda arent going to cut it.

See i like your idea. That makes sense. have it on mobile and have alot of control. Thats pretty good. Its better than people here just blindly saying "No mobile" like some hick conservative

The problem with mobile and Nintendo is if you ever open the door to $1-$5 Mario/Mario Kart/Pokemon on mobile, no one other than core fans are ever going to pay even $30 for those franchises ever again IMO and certainly never going to buy a seperate piece of Nintendo hardware to play them. 

They'd be better off in that case just accepting a giant gaurunteed moneyhat contract from Microsoft for like X amount of dollars per year to make games for the XBox and in turn allow some Windows 9 compatibility with a future handheld. 

 The problem I see is somewhat related. Nintendo is not going to release big games on mobile anytime soon, but say Nintendo put some of their old games on mobile, if they see some profits, investors will mostlikely pressure Nintendo to go full blown support on Mobile.

 That´s the problem IMO, mobile can represent an alternative way of easy profits, but that will only happens as long as Nintendo has the capability of keeping their big games out of Mobile.

 If I were in Iwata's shoes, instead of mobile, I would expand the NNiD to a full blown PS+/Live. Charge the same $50 yearly, and offer some good SNES/N64/GC/wii/GBA/DS/Eshop free rentals everymonth. Make games available for both 3ds and wiiU, (Nes, SNES, N64, DS, eshop for 3ds; all for wiiU). Even if only a 10% of the wiiU/3ds owners sign in (Multiple wiiu/3ds owners) that would be $250 millions per year...
