Nintendo also said Wednesday it will give an update on its smartphone game project with smartphone game and platform provider DeNA Co. when it meets investors to brief them on strategy Thursday.

“We will provide updates on our project with DeNA tomorrow,” Nintendo’s new chief executive Tatsumi Kimishima said.

I guess this means reveal then?

Bout time, as someone pretty new to mobile games, Ive been dying to know how Nintendo will portray themselves in such a new environment.

Minor established existing IP would probably disappoint both investors and core gamers imho

The insider comments make it seem like it's a lesser-known IP and that they will save the big ones for later. Makes sense, really. If they screw up the first time with Mario, it's over.

Nanashrew · Oct 28, 2015

Here we goooo!

Curious to know what the game will be and what they are going for in this new market.

If goo, I might actually buy my first mobile game. To be clear I don't have anything against mobile games, I just haven't found one I want to spend money on yet.

Oh, right, is there anything else in the WSJ's article (can't read it fully due to no subscription).

True. But if they use a smaller IP they might not grab the audience they want. I'm interested to see how this plays out.

Tom Nook Sawyer · Oct 28, 2015

I'm honestly more excited BECAUSE it sounds like a smaller IP. I've seen enough of Mario & Zelda. Bring on the weird shit!

Madao · Oct 28, 2015

the beginning of the end.

The audience is less important than getting the formula right at first.

They have said they want to do something different. Even if it's not popular at first, if it's well received, then they know a better direction to move in with their stronger IPs.

That's what I've been thinking. johntv or sprsk, wink twice if we're right!

BTW, not to derail the thread, but seems like at least one Nintendo Direct is coming this year - not sure if these are going to cover their mobile efforts as well.

That can't be called Other M then because that sounds good

N still chained to Japan-only release also on mobile.

Belgian Dude · Oct 28, 2015

To those using this as an opportunity to get into mobile gaming, theres some pretty good stuff in there already! Monument Valley would definitely be my favourite but if you can endure the ads there's some good infinite Arcade Games.

Excited for what comes though.

Jackano · Oct 28, 2015

Better be an IP I don't care about, I don't want to upgrade my 3310.

I'm getting totally hyped for this Direct!!

Firestorm · Oct 28, 2015

with turn-based online asynchronous multiplayer like Words with Friends. I'll do anything. Please.

Perhaps I'm giving Nintendo too much credit, but they're one of the few companies I'd trust not to cheapen/ruin their IPs on mobile. Of course, they have to make money, but I have some faith it'll be done in a typical, well polished, Nintendo way.

GiantEnemyGoomba · Oct 28, 2015

What's the ETA for the Q&A?

Ushojax · Oct 28, 2015

I bet it's a Nintendogs game.

Should probably not trust the 7-11 security cameras quite so much
