NeDa is going to develop these games. Nintendo still make games for their own hardware.

It's perfectly possible to do both things.


I'm pretty sure Nintendo would be developing those games.

Read the interviews, NeDa will do the developing.

Been saying this for months. Their future is on mobile and pc. Excellent move and as we can see the market approves. If their next consoles don't reverse the decline you can bet your bottom dollar they will go this route. And they may very well live on forever if they do.

My post already suggests that they will do both. They are dipping their toes in the water. This could be one of the biggest moments in ninty history.

They will be jointly developed. Most likely Nintendo will design the core gameplay to ensure good quality and then DeNA will be responsible for maintaining the content back end of it (ie: daily updates, leaderboards, online play, microtransactions, new DLC content, etc.). 

And most likely only a small part of nintendo will do that.



where do you guy see that %32 up in Nintendo´s stock? Is there any link?

Good for Nintendo I guess.

I am concerned about a possible hit in quality, but it is too early to tell.


My thoughts exactly. But I honestly don't mind lower quality games for a more casual audience/environment (i.e. smartphone) if it nets them more profit. I can only see good things coming from this. 



It'll be awhile before I figure out how to do one of these. :P

I am reading the games will be co-developed by both so, yeah, Nintendo is now making games for mobile. I'm curious as to which EAD team will move to mobile.



It may be too late the party. Both Zynga (of FarmVille and Words with Friends fame) and Kind Digital (Candy Crush) are down more than 20% from their IPOs. Zynga closed at $2.62 Tuesday — down 82% from its peak.

That said, it could be that this companys were not able to come up with new ideas after their hits.

Not a single one. You honestly believe they're going to put teams that are a hundred men big on just mobiles lol?



It just occurred to me that the Brain Age series might have a shot at relevance again after a decade...



Have a nice day...

They'll probably allocate one medium sized group at EAD to mobile. 

Designers will be able to moonlight in if they have some weird/quirky idea that they want to make, it may also be where young Nintendo designers have to cut their teeth under the supervision of older/nearing retirement designers. 

One team could make a ton of smartphone titles though, you look at a game like Nintendo Land ... that's basically like 12 smartphone games, that's enough smartphone content to cover most of a calendar year. 

The amount of work Nintendo puts into just one game could be several iOS titles.
