But hopefully the success of GO will also show that games made from the ground up for mobile are the way forward, not just rushing the market with ports of old, console or handheld games. |
I agree. If Nintendo is going to invest further into mobile they should hire more people and dedicate an entire development branch for it that caters to the mobile casual audience. The last thing they should do is port games for their hardware over to mobile (though some of their casual-centric IPs like Brain Age should move to mobile since that's where that market went).
I would love if mobile is successful for Nintendo because it would essentially replace their dwindling handheld business and allow Nintendo to unify their handheld/console libraries while boosting Nintendo's IPs and brand to people who don't typically follow video games, giving them a lot of free advertising.
