Totally Pikmin 4.

My NTDOY is ready.

 

[Boney]

Mario will most definately be the first mobile game they release. The question is, what are they doing with it? Easy answer would be an sideways auto runner like the NSMB2 stages but would that hold people's attention? Probably not

 

[Draxal]

Yeah, don't think Pikmin is the big IP hat they want to lead this off with, unless that's the surprise.

If it's a small IP it could be a pushmo/blox iteration.

 

[vagabondarts]

I expect the end of all things, or taking a page from SquareEnix and selling a wallpaper app

 

[origamipirate]

I'm HOPING it's F-Zero, tbh. Just, you know, to make some money in F-Zero's name- I feel like that'd be a good thing for the longevity of the series.

 

[-Stryder-]

Nintendo might just release something close to smart glass that connects to Wii U or something half assed and disappointing (disappointing because we're all getting our hopes up for something more than what it will actually be).

 

[Deleted member 465307]

So Pikmin 4 since it's almost complete...

I don't think I'd want to play a touch-based Pikmin 4 on anything smaller than a tablet screen. However, since Nintendo's whole initiative was about making games specifically for mobile (and not just porting), I think that means I have nothing to worry about when it comes to controlling their games on my phone.

 

[Chittagong]

The first thing Nintendo needs with mobile is to get their loyal fanbase to be vocal advocates of the brand.

 

[WiiRevolution1]

I have a iPod Touch with iOS6, so I expect for it to not work on my device. So the only unexpected thing would be it working, which won't happen.

 

[Cosmonaut X]

The first thing Nintendo needs with mobile is to get their loyal fanbase to be vocal advocates of the brand.

...which means they have to tread an interesting line - it can't be too removed from what their fans consider a "Nintendo-quality" game or it will be condemned as "mobile shit", but if it looks like they've thrown all their talent and weight behind it it might be taken as a "Nintendo abandoning dedicated hardware" move if fans perceive the new title as being something that "should have" been on a dedicated platform.

I'd guess new/dormant IP with a gimmick or playstyle that clearly fits mobile and doesn't tread on any toes with their traditional handheld or home titles.

 

[Hibiki Kurosawa]

On one hand, this makes sense.

On the other, "leveraging brand power" and using Pikmin are kind of the opposite.

But Miyamoto has been trying to increase the popularity/awareness of Pikmin by shoving it in things like 3ds transfer animations and Nintendoland. Next step? Mobile.

 

[Shiggy]

A StarFox game that actually looks good and plays well? That would be truly unexpected.

 

[AAMARMO]

What do you think Nintendo & DeNA's First Mobile Game be?

 

[Red Devil]

Nintendo might just release something close to smart glass that connects to Wii U or something half assed and disappointing (disappointing because we're all getting our hopes up for something more than what it will actually be).

Right, even if unexpected I don't think this will be a big deal, kind of like Pokémon GO was announced with all the blows and whistles but meh.

 

[Rambler]

Calling it now, it's a Sakamoto game.

Probably a Wario game where you gotta help him break into new markets.

 

[Omegasquash]

It won't be this but....

Pokemon.

 

[Red Devil]

It won't be this but....

Pokemon.

Pokémon already got Pokémon Go, and Shuffle in Japan.

 

[Sadist]

Pikmin I guess.

 

[Lunar15]

WarioWare'd be pretty unexpected.

 

[inky]

SMB 1 except you are Bowser.

Costs $1000. Per life.

 

[Maintenance]

Metroid then.

 

[friskykillface]

pikmin

you see them around you and you gather them up by using your camera and then fighting enemies outside

boom

 

[Draxal]

It won't be this but....

Pokemon.

Except, pokemon's already on mobile in various forms (shuffle and the card game being two standouts).

 

[Ganondolf]

Maybe Animal Crossing

 

[neogaffer1]

halo life 3

 

[digoutyoursoul]

StarFox X Metroid.......right?

 

[Lunar15]

It won't be F-Zero, but it'll be Captain Falcon's* Endless Runner

*from the Smash Bros Series

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Mario Maker: Let's-a-On-The-Go!

 

[Maximus.]

Looking forward to a game with a ton of micro transactions and timers!

Spoiler

I really hope that the game is legit and fun! Maybe Nintendo/DeNA together will make a mobile game I will enjoy.

 

[AdanVC]

What do you think Nintendo & DeNA's First Mobile Game be?

Hahaha F-Zero in 4th place...

:'(

Edit: It's in 3rd place now...

:'((((((

 

[digoutyoursoul]

Mario Paint

 

[Zalman]

On one hand, this makes sense.

On the other, "leveraging brand power" and using Pikmin are kind of the opposite.

If they really want to go for the brand power thing, they should make something that features characters from all their franchises. Basically something like to Smash Bros. that works well on mobile.

Spoiler

Million dollar idea: Nintendo Hearthstone

 

[Oddish1]

I could easily see Animal Crossing fitting well on mobile. It could also be a new IP created specifically for mobile.

 

[Hermii]

Omg it's a waluigi game

 

[Kouichi]

Omg it's a waluigi game

I was just about to post this

 

[KingSnake]

F-zero is like the worst idea ever for a mobile game. And any mobile racing game is rather an unhappy compromise.

 

[Toparaman]

It's Halo.
Featuring Drake from the Uncharted series.

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

The legend of Zelda, a strategy RPG.

 

[serenewarfare]

Fire Emblem it is, then.

Spoiler

I know it won't be FE, let me dream dammit.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Splatoon card game.

 

[James Scott]

It's probably not going to be like a console game. I doubt Pikmin, F-zero, or metroid.
It's likely not a new IP since that would kind of defeat the purpose.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Yep. "Expect the unexpected" likely means a twist on a familiar franchise.

SUPER MARIO PLAYER

Play the easiest levels from Super Mario Maker on your smart phone.

 

[deltatheta]

Yep. "Expect the unexpected" likely means a twist on a familiar franchise.

I think it's more that people are expecting a straightforward game and from what I gathered from how Iwata spoke about their mobile strategy, it's going to be more of an all-encompassing MiiVerse, Mii Maker, marketing material Nintendo app with a lot of game elements.

SUPER MARIO PLAYER

Play the easiest levels from Super Mario Maker on your smart phone.

The Mario Maker editor would be a lot more suitable for a touch screen. But it wouldn't work so well when you can't test the level as you're making it.

 

[Deleted member 1235]

Super mario player where you play the super mario maker maps

why they arent releasing an editor for mario maker (but you need the game to play em) is beyond me. make it free. play testing would be an issue, maybe make it save only

 

[Nia]

Metroid Prime 4 being a mobile game would make me kill myself.

 

[Neiteio]

Lucina Shoe Shiner Sim 2015, where you rub the screen to polish Lucina's boots

 

[Red Devil]

What?

 

[Hermii]

Does this mean the new account system will be announced soon too? Nintendo direct incoming?

 

[Nightbird]

What about Animal Crossing?
The IP would work on mobile and is big right now.
It can also work as advertisement for Happy Home Designer
