| RolStoppable said: I was completely against the idea of Nintendo doing mobile games, because the usual proposals from investors as well as people on VGC were about putting Virtual Console games and sequels on smartphones. Both of these moves would hurt Nintendo's core business, hence why I was so against them. When I learned about Nintendo making games for smartphones, it was right in the middle of the press conference for the announcement. I was disappointed at first, but that changed as soon as I read the English transcript of Nintendo's announcement. What Iwata said there made a lot of sense. It made so much sense that I was baffled that nobody came up with this idea before. Since that point I fully supported Nintendo's decision and I got no reason to be disappointed with it. By now Nintendo's strategy has proven to work as intended. Not only are Nintendo's smartphone games not harming their core business, they are actually boosting it. |
This mirrors my thoughts.
Though, I also thought that they'd take notes on market response to certain mobile titles. Take, for instance, Miitomo (mobile) and what happened to that 3DS RPG Miitopia months afterward.

I WON A BET AGAINST AZUREN! WOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
