| Soundwave said: I actually feel like they have a fairly good chance at being the no.1 smartphone game maker in revenue in about 2 years time maybe less. Animal Crossing, Pokemon, Super Mario, Mario Kart, Fire Emblem, Mario Party, Wario Ware, Nintendogs, Brain Training, Punch-Out!, Duck Hunt, Legend of Zelda all have good potential as smartphone IP, you could make 5-6 different games in the Marioverse alone. You look at Nintendo Land for how they're able to take IP like Mario, Luigi's Mansion, Animal Crossing, etc. into spin-off mini-games. |
Umm, I'd say that stuff like Pokemon Dream Radar, The recently announced Animal Crossing game, Mario Party, Nintendogs, etc. would translate well to mobile, but to be honest, not all of those franchises should transition to mobile. Fire Emblem on mobile would not only most likely play bad, but it'd have a negative effect on their hardware business.
Leave the simple games to mobile, and the complex ones to their hardware.
Also, what I'd love to see is a cross platform Virtual Console, where you'd use your Nintendo ID to play your VC games, whether you bought them on WiiU/3DS or the mobile eShop, and you'd be able to play the games on any of the said platforms.
