Let's see if they know how to develop mobile games considering the not so hot Miitomo reception.

Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile

Can't wait to see how the fire emblem game looks and works, not really interested in animal crossing.

Any time i see f2p im instantly turned off xD

^ this.

Phone game + f2p is a no no.

Look at a game like Final Fantasy IX (9), it runs on iOS for phones and its a 1 time deal price and its yours.

Why dont developers for phones all follow this principal?

If you want to put Animal crossing on phones... do it right nintendo! full game, everything you expect from a full game, and a fixed price.

They are doing it right by making it F2P.

These games could be huge if Nintendo does it right, I'd be more likely to play these games on my phone then my 3ds for some reason....

More money in F2P market, insanely more money. Plus mobile users do not dive in doves to pay to try a game.

All three of you are wrong (think-man's quote got auto-removed from the stack above).

Nintendo isn't going to put premium content on smartphones, because that would devalue Nintendo hardware. Nobody should expect anything that is like a full game like you are used to from Nintendo systems. Nintendo's primary motivation to make smartphone games is not money from smartphone games, but exposure of their IPs, hence why all of their games should be expected to be free to download. The fears that Nintendo will do really bad things with F2P are unfounded, because that would put a bad light on their IPs and directly contradict their main goal. People won't be enticed to consider the purchase of Nintendo hardware when the games they are playing on smartphones are bombarding them with microtransactions to have any real chance of progress.

I never stated how they will do it, but I did state that more money. Should have also state more users.

Yeah, Nintendo is not in it for the money.

Is there any tangiable proof that smartphone games do anything for the exposure of IP? Sonic games have been on iOS/Android and been downloaded hundrds of millions of times, it hasn't really done a lick for the Sonic franchise as it relates to dedicated game systems.

This is Nintendo doing their usual "we don't believe in DLC", "we won't lock content behind Amiibos", etc. etc. schitick. Of course they're going to make money from smartphone games, likely a lot of it if done correctly.

What Nintendo says are their "goals" and what they actually end up doing are many times two very different things, especially when they get a taste of $$$ (like most any company).

If I can play it without being constantly gouged for money then I'll give it a shot, otherwise I'm not going to be interested.

Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.
