It won't be Mario, not immediately at least.

Why?

Nintendo have always been at their best when they launch a new platform with an incredible Mario game. I'm not saying it's a platformer, it should be a game starring Mario though. A fucking great game. A mobile game pulled out from the depths of Nintendo's creative well. A showstopper from day one, not a half arsed nothing game. A game that makes everyone sit up and take notice. A product that says Nintendo is here and they mean business. Isn't this what we should what?

Also since when have Nintendo been so precious with Mario? They've been plenty happy to whore him out to distinctly average fare in the past.

 

[Danthrax]

I feel like I need to quote this again:



Now think if, whatever your wishes are, that game can produce that much money.

soooo Mario Kart 9, then

 

[GrandiaX]

I'm predicting Advance Wars. Anyone else?

 

[alf717]

It'll be a Mach Rider reboot.

 

[Exile20]

What is the timing of this announcement?

 

[E-phonk]

What is the timing of this announcement?

Countdown to the meeting:

I believe the Corporate Management Policy Briefing / Second Quarter Financial Results Briefing is usually at 10:00 AM JST, so here's a preliminary countdown:

 

[Etria]

I'm predicting Advance Wars. Anyone else?

Keeping expectations lower but this would be so good.

 

[chrono01]

Please tell me what this is from. :3

It was from a NicoNico stream of the broadcaster [girl in the gif] walking through the Ginza district [Tokyo] sampling various food. I thought it was cute so I gif'd it. It makes for a good reaction gif too.

 

[Glowsquid]

I don't think Wario Ware will ever be a huge hit on any system, especially amongst the masses. It's too frenetic in pace, and the art style doesn't have universal appeal.

the dumb ways to die game is a total ripoff of WW and it did very well.

 

[Yoshi]

Hopefully they'll announce that they won't be bringing anything to such a shitty platform and that you should go and get a 3DS or even a Vita.

I, too, would be very happy about that. If they really need to bring games to phones, at least always bring those games to Nintendo platforms day and date. I don't want a touch phone.

 

[mightynine]

I'm still sticking to my guns that it will be Duck Hunt - Tap! Edition.

 

[Scum]

Advance Wars
A "Touch Generation" IP
Nintendo Puzzle League
Nintendo TCG
Animal Crossing _________

I'm still sticking to my guns that it will be Duck Hunt - Tap! Edition.

You are probably right.

 

[Blood Diamonds]

the legend of zelda: ruby crush

 

[cyba89]

It will be a Mii Maker for mobile.

 

[Sapiens]

Reskin this with a Balloon Fight theme:

 

[Lynd7]

Whatever it is it won't be something that copies whatever is on their own platforms. Hope its exciting though.

 

[Ogodei]

Reskin this with a Balloon Fight theme:

Adult Swim's already got it on their marketplace (for free).

 

[Mariolee]

It'll be Twilight Princess HD. Plot twist.

 

[Dicer]

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

If it's anything but this now, I'm coming to find you...

 

[AdanVC]

I'm predicting Advance Wars. Anyone else?

That would be awesome and would please tons of fans so no. Not happening.

 

[Inferno313]

LETS GO!

 

[.:Wesker:.]

Nintendo has so many properties that would make a smooth transition to being some sort of 'endless runner' type game (Mario, Balloon Trip, Ice Climbers, Yoshi Touch & Go, the above mentioned Aura-Aura Climber, etc.)

I wouldn't mind seeing WarioWare come back, even if it would borrow heavily from Touched!

 

[Muzy72]

So where do Nintendo's second party IPs fall into this? IPs like Kirby, Fire Emblem, etc? It'd certainly be weird for Kirby to not have a mobile game.

 

[Samemind]

Reskin this with a Balloon Fight theme:

Are those lips pointing downwards or a cat smile?

 

[Scrawnton]

Nintendogs

 

[.:Wesker:.]

Are those lips pointing downwards or a cat smile?

The former.

 

[Clefargle]

You guys staying up waiting on the juice?

 

[TheJoRu]

Nintendogs

Yup, would make a ton of sense. Hideki Konno who's currently in charge of the mobile development team at Nintendo produced Nintendogs for the DS (and 3DS), it's a perfect fit for a touch-only interface, can make for great social features (I'm not saying social interaction definitely is a focus for them, but I'm guessing they'll want something that is not a closed-in experience but rather something you can share with others, it's very Nintendo), can easily be morphed using a free-to-start model ("buy coins so you can purchase new types of dogs, and toys for your dog!") and is a borderline ideal franchise for this primarily casual market.

Now that I've realized how well a Nintendogs Mobile would work it's definitely not happening.

 

[Jumpman23]

Mass market appeal says Nintendogs and Cats. The gamer in me wants Advanced Wars. Nintendo will deliver something completely different.

 

[Dad]

I hadn't really thought about it until this thread, but Nintendongs would honestly probably be a really sound choice for the mobile market. More marketable and instantly appealing than something like Advance Wars.

 

[Mik317]

I'm predicting Advance Wars. Anyone else?

This would leave me in an interesting state.

On one hand I'd be super butthurt about not recieving a 3DS advance wars.

But then again.... it a new goddam advance wars tho.

I just hope the artstyle is good I guess

 

[Exile20]

Countdown to the meeting:

Thanks

 

[Shikamaru Ninja]

The producer behind NIntendogs/Mario Kart is developing the first mobile game. I mean seriously, if it isn't a new IP, it has to be Nintendogs.

But I can also see the WarioWare and Brain Age teams chime in shortly after.

 

[toa95]

Elite Beat Agents, Rhythm Heaven, or WarioWare please...

 

[Mpl90]

I hadn't really thought about it until this thread, but Nintendongs would honestly probably be a really sound choice for the mobile market. More marketable and instantly appealing than something like Advance Wars.

 

[Greddleok]

What is she eating?

Fsteak.

 

[.:Wesker:.]

Elite Beat Agents, Rhythm Heaven, or WarioWare please...

I want all three pretty badly.

 

[toa95]

I want all three pretty badly.

Any or all of them would be perfect for the touch screen... I really want WarioWare, we haven't had a real WarioWare game in forever.

 

[Dad]

This is what I get for coming from the DKCTF thread

 

[doop_]

DuckHunt would be perfect, so many things you could do with them.

 

[ThisIsMyName]

Whatever it is, I'm sure it'll be priced poorly and people will be complaining.

 

[TheJoRu]

I hadn't really thought about it until this thread, but Nintendongs would honestly probably be a really sound choice for the mobile market. More marketable and instantly appealing than something like Advance Wars.

 

[addyb]

FZERO mobile. Followed by metroid prime 4

 

[yatesl]

New Metroid

 

[twisteh]

Ugh. Now whatever turns up is going to be a disappointment as after reading this thread I just want Advance Wars. It would be perfect for the touch screen as well.

 

[ThatRandomCliff]

I honestly don't care. I don't own a Smart phone, and I won't own one anytime soon. With that said I feel it will be a new Ip.

 

[Josh5890]

So what time is the investor meeting tonight?

 

[maxcriden]

the dumb ways to die game is a total ripoff of WW and it did very well.

It's not the gameplay I don't see being successful. Just the aesthetic of WW.

Why?

Nintendo have always been at their best when they launch a new platform with an incredible Mario game. I'm not saying it's a platformer, it should be a game starring Mario though. A fucking great game. A mobile game pulled out from the depths of Nintendo's creative well. A showstopper from day one, not a half arsed nothing game.

Also since when have Nintendo been so precious with Mario? They've been plenty happy to whore him out to distinctly average fare in the past.

Just about everything you said I agree with. Well. I don't agree with the last bit necessarily. Or I don't want to believe it, lol. Regardless, Serkan Toto said not to expect the bigger IPs to be a part of the first game. So I don't think we'll see Mario on mobile till next year.

 

[AcademicSaucer]

How are we gonna know, is someone going to tweet the events ?
