Here is what I think they should do. Keep all existing, classic IP on their own devices and create a new, smaller team not unlike the teams who invented NES IP, and have them make new ios games which are exclusive to that platform.

Win win.

Actually isn't a bad idea. Make *new* business off of iOS games as a way to diversify revenue streams and idea-farm for games to go upstream, but never pull anything downstream.

Nintendo should develop for the mobile market.

But of course not with their AAA games, mario, zelda, etc etc.

Why not develop new ips just for the mobile market? They could easily create a mobile division for this with 50 employees to build shitty flappy bird games- not even use the name nintendo (not to put dirt on it. )


Now that I think about it, they could use the mobile market as testing grounds, and their most popular new IP's can get full-fledged games on their actual systems....



WHO IS JESUS REALLY?

Seems like a good idea. Maybe they can charge extra for each power-up as well?

Also, pokoko, you'll never catch me!

Why develop? Just put a bunch of NES, GB, GBA and SNES games on it, everybody play these for free with rooms or paying disgusting reselleres for old cartridges, let NINTENDO make money for a change

You call it "disgusting"...I call it a premium to actually own the REAL GAME. For me, it's so much more fun to play SMB3 on a CRT TV with an actual NES and an actual NES controller. Like...times 1,000.

The thought of those lovely microtransactions being in a Mario game make my dick hard.


Pay 50 cents to make that blue shell miss you.

Umm how about no to that micro transaction. But Nintendo could make a lot of money just by putting there older games on mobile. Like the original pokemon games for instance

Exactly.

I've actually been thinking about this for awhile now. With the advent of all these great new indie games, it seems like a great time for Nintendo to dip into that well themselves because, who is better at making small, cheap, interesting and original IP than Nintendo? Have we ever seen anything more creative than what they were able to do with a small group of developers during the NES birth? And isn't that EXACTLY the sort of thing they like do to? They have always been extremely conservative. How much can an indie or ios game cost? Certainly pennies compared to what they spend on their full 3D titles.

I really think they're missing out on a great opportunity here.
