I'm not so sure about "Easy Money". It's so saturated and it would reduce Nintendo's brand power to use their iconic characters in mobile. Just my thoughts.



Gotta figure out how to set these up lol.

Ooooor they could put it on the Wii U? I mean it has a touch interface, it could work.


Yeah, exactly. Heck, they could retask Hyrule Warriors as a MOBA, and that would be fantastic.


I'm pretty sure Hyrule Warriors is already finished. But yea, they really need to get on this MOBA thing.



It's an interesting point. Wth all the cries for them to release phone games I could imagine a PC game would make more sense. However, I think Nintendo would refuse to ever do it.

I could imagine scenarios where a pc game might make a lot of sense. Some big online multiplayer games (Such as Mobas or mmorpgs) might only be feasible for them if they release on both PC and Wii U with online cross play.

Here's an idea. If Nintendo ever created a subscription program, and created an MMO, they could release the MMO on both console and PC but require the full Nintendo subscription to play. Some PC MMO players might be use to paying $15 dollars a month for a new MMO but they'd now face the temptation of getting a Wii U for the other benefits of the subscription.

Will never happen.

your link is not discussing mobas but just apps

 

actually mobas are a real cash cow and the only thing you need to be successful is to not be generic - something that nintendo couldn't achieve even if they dedicated all their ressources to it :

Why can't the MOBA be on the Wii U?

because it would compete with the awesome Nintendo MOBA on PC

Kinda hard to get to that 27 million active users like League of Legends has if it was on the WiiU.. thats were the money is with those millions

that does make sense and would allow for a healthier revenue model than the typical free-to-plays

Doubt a Nintendo MOBA would get that many users anyway, PC or otherwise.
