I don't think it really is worth it. I'm extremely disappointed with Nintendo on mobile. What we usually expect from Nintendo is to be innovative and present the pinnacle of gaming. So what I expected was a mobile gaming revolution. Smartphone games are usually cheap rip-offs with zero innovation and low production values. Basically, they are the worst form of gaming. Gameloft per instance is a complete mess surviving on rip-offs.

I expected Nintendo to bring a level of quality to mobile that we saw when they released A Link to the Past or Pokémon Red. Games that changed gaming.

What we got was Pokémon Go, a simple re-skin of Ingress with less features. Almost a mod. It only made success based on the franchise name. Then we got Mario Run, an endless runner. There are hundreds of those games, like Rayman Fiesta Run. Nintendo just blatantly copied them and put a Mario skin on top.

Seeing Miyamoto trying to look excited about it on interviews is pathetic and an insult to the greatest game designer ever. The only difference between Nintendo on mobile and a crappy company like Gameloft is that Ninty has better franchises to slap over rip-offs with zero creativity.
