And Nintendo games need to stay off mobiles. It would dilute the brand and lower its value.


But they are planning on liscensing their characters to new partners, which could mean crappy games starring its characters

Kinda like those terrible CDi games....

Still better than being lumped in with Fruit Ninja and Angry Turds.

If F-Zero GX (Sega), Zelda: Minish Cap (Capcom) and Star Fox Assault (Namco) are anything to go by, the games will be high quality.

Nintendo learned their lesson with the Zelda CDi games, they supervise every game of their franchises made by a 3rd party company. Some have been good (the games above) and some not so much, like Metroid Other M, but that game is still millions of light years away from something like Zelda CDi

I don't mind. Mobile is shit.

So tired of all this smartphone bullshit. If Wiiu support and sales were better most of those analyst would shut up and keep dreaming for years. Nintendo's handels are still doing very good. Nintendo need to strenghen their developments teams, find more 2th party partners and secure more 3rd party support.

Demos and such might be acceptebale, but Nintendo need to stay focus on producing their own hardwares.

I wish Nintendo would stay in the handheld business, since they pretty much own that, but go 3rd party when it comes to home consoles. It would be awesome to see what they could do with the power of the PS4 when making a true follow up to Mario 64. Or actually make a Zelda game in the style of their tech demo. God, those games would be gorgeous.
