Forums - Nintendo - Nintendo will only bring 'OLD' games/ips to smartphones and tablets (speculation/theory)

It would be a terrible, terrible idea.

The mobile games need to be either spinoffs or different IP which play nothing like what is available on the dedicated platforms.

Give the people Super Mario Bros. mobile and they aren't going to want New Super Mario Bros NX. The console games need to stay console games.

That may be how we feel as console gamers, but that won't always make sense for Nintendo as a business. If [game x] could generate several magnitudes more profit on mobile, why wouldn't they at least port it? Sure, they might have taken away a reason to own the console, but they'd also have significantly more money to fund new titles that could only work on their handheld/home console. I'd see than as a win-win for both us and Nintendo.

I don't really expect Nintendo to do that though, at least not right now. They'll probably just spend the next few years testing the waters and seeing what does and doesn't work (that 'win-win' requires the mobile version's profitability to outweigh the negative of taking it away from the console after all).

tapping into a new audience with older games would only make them more interested in the newer ones.

thats my point right there. i dont understand why people think it would be a bad idea. the bad idea is happening right now with someone making nintendo games without the nintendo quality.


You.

I like you.

spinoff is always a bad idea. old game which are by the way great games could bring in more people to buy their new consoles. as i said it theory, speculation and it could happen.

Did the people here watch the conference.

They actualy stated that they will NOT be bringing current games to mobile. We know this. It isnt a theory.

They will use their IP for new games that will be specifically for mobile, not ports.



i forgot that part.

 

do people of vgc forgive ?

Quite the opposite. Nothing even close to that is happening. They'll probably make completely new games using old IP, structured to be mobile type games like Hearthstone and Puzzles and Dragons.

I think that Nintendo just really needs to be cautious... the mobile market moves really fast and changes really fast

Don't think so, but maybe some minimages? For example the bamboo minigame of Skyward Sword?
