Forums - Nintendo - What if Nintendo treated smartphones like how third parties treat Nintendo?

Release Mario Kart Wii U March __ 2014

Release similarMario kart game on rails with only 1 cup, character, and vehicle to play with for smartphones March ___ 2014 for free. It can only be played for 3 hours and then prompts you to go Nintendo.com or whatever to order Mario Kart everytime and all the time before you get to play the app again to advertise Mario Kart Wii U?

Would people be pissed at this marketing technique? Does it devalue Nintendo games? Is it too much money to make?

Discuss.

Took the words straight out of my mouth.

Haha, I needed an attention seeking thread title. And releasing feature less demos are what third parties do to Nintendo as well.

But really, what do you think about Nintendo releasing demos for smartphones to advertise their games?



Please no.

But I can imagine Nintendo joining the "companion app" bandwagon. No full games or demos, but ways to access some sort of game-related content from your smartphone or something.
