This is the model that works for mobile and Nintendo got a big dose of that reality with Super Mario Run and Fire Emblem Heroes.

What are you talking about? Fire Emblem Heroes is wildly successful??? The most profitable Fire Emblem game of all time...

It might make more money overall but it is far from the best.  I gave it a try for like 15 mins.  Back to zero on games on phone.

Well, first of all DeNa is the compagny who does mobile games for Nintendo if I remember right (except Dragalia Lost). This does not hinder anything about their buisness in the console space nor the devloppement of their games on the Switch.

Now, remember when people weren't willing to pay 5 measly bucks on mobile for a game like Super Mario Run just because they prefer other monetization systems ? Nintendo was willing to play a fair game by their own rules but it didn't work, then they found success in gatcha economy with Dragalis Lost and Fire Emblem Heroes which received mixed and positive results but they also saw people that were willing to completly dumb plenty amount of cash in. I guess now there just trying to see how far they can go with various monetization until they set themselves for good.

The mobile market weirdly answer positively in the context of more exploitative monetization methods in their games and that's why I always saw it as a plague most of the time.

Think it started at 10 dollars but you are right they are willing to throw down 1k on new phone yet won't drop five dollars on a game.

Well, this is both impressive and depressing at the same time.

I think it's a decent game. Biggest limitations is the units allowed on field. There's lots of creative game modes in there though.

I just tried Mario Kart.

The controls are quite.. shitty I must say. Your cart automatically moves forward and never stops, and to steer you can only drift. Unless you pick the option of mild steering only which is slow. Anyway even though I won two out of my two games, it’s awkward. Maybe it’s just something to get used to. I liked Mario Run, but I’d say with Mario Kart stick to the real ones, from SNES and GBA to Switch they all immediately feel much better.
