maxleresistant said: I don't think it will work though. Yes there has been a boost in pokemon games and 3DS hardware sales because of pokemon GO, but that's minimal in comparison to the overall decline of this gen. I don't think that just putting Nintendo games on smart devices will change things. I'm predicting another decline in sales for the Next Nintendo generation. And a big shift to mobile games. Also, most "mature" IPs like Metroid are going to disappear or be retooled as games for broader audience (like Federation Forces). This is the trend Nintendo is in, and they're going to stop. |
That's why this isn't the only part of their initiative to create more exposure of their IPs. I think you know by now what else they are doing besides mobile so this is part of the their plans. Plus we don't know crap about NX yet nor the games they'll make besides BotW to go along with games like Sonic 2017, DQXI, and Just Dance 2017 that are already confirmed for NX, so predictions are useless. Considering what happened to the DS, Vita, PSP, Xbone, and Wii, predictions are useless until we see how these devices affect the industry.
