Seriously? People are excited about a runner game? The game is really a no-brainer anyway.

Nintendo is publishing the game because:
1. Advertising it's main games on Nintendo's own platforms - if someone buys a console, the someone is going to buy games aswell. And all the games, if it's first or third party, sold on Nintendo's device, is making money for Nintendo.
2. As 3DS and Wii U aren't printing money, and Nintendo need to offset NX launch costs somehow, this could be enough for Nintendo to keep making good profit at the same time NX is taking money.
3. Monetising the retooling of their middleware for ARM SoC.

This is HUGE ! I can't wait to see how the stock responds to this tomorrow

I've always figured Phantom Hourglass remastered for tablets would make more sense than remastering for a traditional home console

Doesn't really matter when the gsme isn't free to start, does it ?

I suppose this is the inevitable outcome when you lack the insight to maintain healthy profits through creative means.

Hopefully they will put the money to good use.

So we had the 3DS direct, this big bomba with Apple, does anyone think Nintendo will ride this momentum to an NX reveal next week?

Great news!!

Cost them pennies , but will make them millions. I would make a comment about charging a dollar to make Mario jump higher, but you say it's a paid app...

Pokemon GO for apple watches just makes sense.

Someone should have made a thread about how the apple event might overshadow Sony's event ....

My first impression after watching some footage was that the game looked slow, but watching it again, I think it makes up for that a bit by making the game a bit denser than it could have been so maybe it'll be fine.
