"OSAKA – Nintendo Co. is trying to modify its game consoles so customers can use smartphone applications on them as it searches for a way to return to profitability, company sources said."
"Nintendo hopes smartphone software will help spur console sales, which will in turn lead to an increase in popular game titles for them, the sources said."
Could be a good move to include a section in the eShop with apps, from iOS and Android. Only downside is neither the GamePad nor the 3DS has a multitouch-screen, so a lot of them would have to be gimped I think.
Well, I guess their not having multitouch will kind of be an issue now.
most ios/android games are garbage
This is where its at. I said this early last year... this gen will be as much about services and apps as it will be games.

multitouch isn't that big of an issue. 95% of the time (or more) you only ever use single touch interaction.

1) most games on any platform are crapware
2) that doesn't mean there are not a lot of quality games
3) this isn't just about games... think bigger.

Yeah now that you mention it, you're right. It's perhaps a smaller issue than it seems; Angry Birds, Temple Run, Cut the Rope and stuff like that are all single touch 
.
Good Move. Good Move.
Games can and should tell stories and share ideas through their mechanics. This is the intrinsic element of the medium and this is how experiences should be crafted in video games. No company does this as well as Nintendo and their echoes from the past.

Not sure if serious... I've never played TR or CTR, but AB has never needed multitouch. Am incorrectly assuming sarcasm with your tongue face?
