Hey, I think that making it to the finals is a great feat!

I guess, but only because you had to withdraw :P

Glad to see Nintendo's stock going up. Regardless of how I feel about mobile games, Nintendo putting a few small projects on phones won't hinder them or their IPs. It's when they decide to put a 3D Mario or Zelda on there that we should really worry.

Just heard them talking about Nintendo going mobile on a mainstream radio channel here. I've never heard them talk about Nintendo or gaming before, so Nintendo going mobile is apparently pretty big news.

This could potentially be really big for Nintendo.

Here's an interview with DeNa.

Nintendo bought 10% stock so they could keep a hold on what they were making.

I think what's really important here is that the mobile revenue Nintendo will receive will potentially be funding for more games. And at the end of the day, that's all I really want.

I posted this in another thread but for those with many questions about what Nintendo did exactly, this FAQ can help quite a bit! :D

Nintendo posted a full translated video of the conference announcement so you can see everything by yourself.

Interesting how the acknoledge the Virtual Boy and the Wii Mini here.

Nintendo likes to reference the Virtual Boy a lot. I feel that most companies would try to shove that under the rug as fast as possible. Of course, they did whenever it happened, but now that it's been a while they're able to look back and laugh.

I'm so curious to know what character will be featured in the first Nintendo smartphone game! Probably Mario, but you never know! What if it's a Metroid game? Metroid pinball lol
