A animal crossing teaser may do wonders on ios
Wouldn't replacing Iwata just make the next president more than likely to make Nintendo games on the iOS?
i cant wait til we get smash bros island sponsored by rc cola

Demos? Lol.
Launch a smartphone Nintendo, do it nooow.
Just out of curiosity, why a smart phone? Unless you want an inferior product, because there is no way they are going to compete with the likes of Apple, Samsung, HTC and forth. And their unique selling point would be their games, like a 3DS... No man, a smart phone is doomed from the start if you ask me.
I'd expect them to be farmed out to cheapo studios. Otherwise it's a waste of actual game developers' time.I expect 'companion' apps to promote their 3DS/Wii U games, not actual smartphone games. If this is the case, I expect these apps to do jack all.
It'll just be Miiverse on iOS.

Virtual Console on ios/android, is there a better way to monetize your older games? Add in some ads for 3DS titles so kids will be interested to get the sequels after they finish Super Mario Bros.

I'm more intrigued in see how Nintendo will provide content for other platforms when their own systems are starving for VC games.
Do you want to kill the company?
I'm genuinely interested to see what they mean by "demos".
To be more concrete, The Nikkei writes that Nintendo wants to use smartphones to expand its potential user base by spreading information about new game releases, i.e. by using video to introduce future titles. (This will probably happen through some kind of official Nintendo app.)
In addition, Nintendo is said to be planning to put so-called mini games on smartphones, playable demos of console games content that can only be purchased in full on Nintendo hardware. The reasoning here is to give smartphone-only players a taste of the experience without making the actual game available on non-Nintendo devices and convert these users into Nintendo customers.
According to The Nikkei, this content will be entirely free, and Nintendo is not planning to offer paid or freemium games on smartphones at the moment.
This has been a huge news day.
Probably trailers.

Imagine the shittiest app you can that basically only delivers choppy videos of Nintendo Directs and trailers for upcoming games. That's what I expect.
That sound like the most laziest and half assed solution for the "mobile want" investors.

Imagine an Android phone with its bootloader locked down, no side-loading, region-locked store (Google Play), firmware updates that take forever to be rolled out. This is the Android future.Just out of curiosity, why a smart phone?
