lol in all fairness i do understand though.  Gamers who has been supporting nintendo has to wait in anticipation on how this changes nintendo.  Though personally i dont believe it will change them, rather just expand and get more brand recognition.  Was a great call on Nintendo.  Wonder if it can make a 100$ increase xD

Nintendo are making the games, DeNA are providing network support, maintenance etc. Quoting from Eurogamer: "Speaking in a press conference this morning, Nintendo boss Satoru Iwata confirmed Nintendo would take charge of the actual game development - the front-end, gameplay and UI that players actually see."

lol yes i meant 100% haha

Did you know that on that movie, wreck it half, nintendo actually send someone to say how bowser was supposed to llok when drinking tea?

Hyrule warrior was a third party licensed game, anouma and even a man as busy as myamoto still worked on it, bayonetta 2 was under supervision of menber of SPD, just like devils third is too.

Do you guys know nintendo? Do you know how much control they demand to have in everything that has theirs names? Do you think that they will just let them have the ip and give them some money, without actually looking on what they are making? Don't you think that thoose same people could actually be working with another companies to amke more games for the consoles? do you think that they will send some random young guys to tell how thing must be done, or they will send someone that they really trhust after years on a senior posistion?

The first games will make a lot of sucess, and them what? They will not need more money to make a beter games?

Of course, there a lot of if, but in the same way that amiibo have close to no impact on selling more wiiu's and 3DS, nor do i believe that will help the main line console of nintendo at all,  unless nintendo do a really good of marketing using those games, but nintendo does good marketing?

I am not a smartphone owner/user. To a very small degree, I am disappointed that they are diversifying more. But if it doesn't change how they make consoles and how I like to use them, then I don't see the harm.

Investors have been hoping for this news for years, and now it has happened, they're buying. That's the reason for the stock rise. Whether it will be a cash cow for Nintendo remains to be seen, and that very much depends on how it all works out.

As Iwata said in the conference, the mobile market is a very competitive place - those few who succeed tend to be one-hit wonders. If Nintendo's games don't do well on mobile, then they would have failed in their strategy to use the exposure to a wider audience to boost console dedicated gaming.

Their goal here isn't to sell more Wii Us and 3DS from this, it is to make them a shit ton of money, which it will.

70% in two days?! That is insane!

As others said, the patterns of smartphone-game quality has come into question Nintendo's contribution and decision, worrying that resources will be taken away to do something seen as polar opposite to long-standing tradition of expecting the best from Nintendo.

I am cautiously optimistic in that I think Nintendo will be able to succeed in terms of finances and quality, but it's hard to tell at this point.

Iwata:

"Nintendo has decided to deploy its video game business on smart devices but it is not because we have lost passion or vision for the business of dedicated video game systems. On the contrary, now that we have decided how we will make use of smart devices, we have come to hold an even stronger passion and vision for the dedicated video game system business than ever before. Nintendo has made this decision because we have concluded that the approach of making use of smart devices is a rational way for us to encourage even more people around the world to recognize the great value of the wonderful game software available on our dedicated game systems." http://www.nintendo.co.jp/corporate/release/en/2015/150317/03.html

That says to me they're using the mobile strategy to boost the console hardware and software.
