This is gonna be good. Nintendo knows what they're doing. I was furious at them too. Releasing some dumb Mii game. The nerve! But you need to understand that they're trying to reach a different crowd...the casuals. You don't anticipate the casuals, they just show up. They'll come running soon enough. And Nintendo will roll in the dough. Will hardcore fans like it? Heckey naw. But the casuals will eat it up.


The whole mobile crowd is casual. No hardcore gamer will play on a phone.

what Nintendo is doing now however, may not appeal to either given that it does not seem like a game as much as it does a companion/social app.

I'm too hardcore to give a shit about which platform I play on.

Cause fruit ninja on mobile is the exact same experience as skyrim on consoles right?

Skyrim on Consoles is essentially cookie clicker to me, really bad example.

Besides why the fuck would I want the exact same experience playing different games? If I wanted that I would just stick to yearly editions of COD.

Yay another ignorant comment about mobile gaming only being things like Fruit Ninja

do you actually think that the same console experience for games like skyrim, uncharted, halo, etc. can be had on mobile. Not in my opinion due to the fundamental issues surrounding mobile gaming (relying on lower power, relying on touch screen, ...)

What does that have to do with anything? U implied all mobile had to offer were games like Fruit Ninja when that is absolutely false.

No, I didn't. I gave an example about how the best of mobile does not compare to the best of console gaming. Replace fruit ninja with angry birds, clash of clans, candy crush, jetpack joyride, and the argument still stands. Same if you replace skyrim with cod or halo or uncharted, ...

None of those games u listed are the best of what mobile has to offer. Ur original claim was that no hardcore gamer plays on mobile, I would like to see the data that proves this.

I can think of infinity blade and asphalt as the closest looking console game on mobile, and they still won't match a console experience. I don't believe a hardcore gamer would mainly play on mobile. I see them playing the console version of street fighter over the mobile one. 



It's clear that they are going to bet for an stellar 2016 year. Mobile and NX integration it looks like to be deepper than we believe.

Hopefully this pay off, or else, they are going to have a terrible and a worse 2016.
