That's what I thought as well.

Nintendo could use a tablet like this to lure kids to their IP's. If done right and they succeed it could be brilliant!!

Hey, Mario ain't getting no lovin' from the princess, so where's he gonna get it - uh? ;)

Jeez, now I'm going to be hearing "Nintendo is going drop out of thee hardware race" "Nintendo is now embracing smartphones" "Soon I will be able to play Mario on my smartphone" from idiots.

It could backfire on Nintendo if that was their plan. The kid, or parent, will ask "Why should I spend another couple hundred dollarson a new system to Mario games? Why can't you just release it on the tablet?".

Well, my thinking is, that IF Nintendo released a Educational tablet it would be to test the waters, and to lure in a new audience. And I'm pretty sure they'd make a tablet that was gaming centric - NOT like iPad and/or the Androids. It could be a third pillar for them, maybe only releasing old games on it, like the NES and SNES libraries

But would it even be legal? There must be some regulations around advertising in schools. It's a smart move though, I could see this taking off. However it could pull focus and affect the rest of Nintendo.

Well, technically it wouldn't be advertising. It would be educating. Just like having vending machines in schools isn't advertising ;)

Er, actually, thinking again about it, you're right. Poor Mario, "cherchez la femme" never was truer than for him.
