Nintendo & DeNA's First Mobile Game Reveal Coming "Soon", "Expect the Unexpected"
- Thread starter Neoxon
- Start date
Sure, but what does "the IP would work on mobile" mean? Releasing a fully fledged AC game to advertise a spin-off on 3DS? What kind of game would it be?
It won't be either of those things for very obvious reasons.
I would love this. I gave up on Animal Crossing because appointment-gaming on a home console doesn't work with my schedule. On my phone, though? Bring it on!
The trick here is to make something that's appealing to the mobile base without sacrificing anything that can still sell a 3DS. For that reason I don't expect any Animal Crossing stuff soon. Eventually, but not right away. Mario is only a system seller for his 3 main genres, so other stuff can go on mobile fine. But I expect Nintendogs because a) it fits mobile so well (take care of your virtual pet on the go) and b) it didn't do very well on the 3DS, so mobile Nintendogs is unlikely to affect their dedicated hardware.
Isn't he kinda busy with Retro's next project? Should be pretty far along by now.

an Animal Crossing RPG with optional Gatcha system like Puzzle & Dragons/Monster Strike. Maybe include promo codes for Happy Home Designer or something like that for beating things in the game (?)

Why not? I think it's actually pretty likely to be heavily Mario related, because the whole point is to capitalize on their IP.
Or even better, Rhythm Heaven mini-games on iOS/Android.
Fucking no. I'd rather take nothing.
Interest in a mobile version won't guarantee a real F-Zero game to be made in the future.
It's a difference audience. Chances are this new mobile game is a new IP all together.
Mario would be what most people expect.
I'm a delusional, starved F-Zero fan, so I can't guarantee that anything I say is going to make sense

The thing that we could actually bet on is whether it will be F2P or F2S. Nintendo seemed to be pretty insistent on the Fullblox/Stretchmo-like implementation when the deal was announced, but they could have changed their heart about it.

I really have no clue what to expect.

One of the things Nintendo was looking for is to get their IPs out there so people would get attached to them. A way to introduce fans to Nintendo.
Advance Wars and Pullblox are both small franchises, and stuffing it with microtransactions would go against what Iwata said and the whole point of this venture
Like the hat?

I hope it's not Zelda related. My poor physical collection...

The 3DS is on its way out, anyway. Though then there's the NX Handheld to consider.

an editor, for mario maker, for free, on ipad.
Great minds think alike.
An editor for Mario Maker? Isn't that redundant? I clearly don't get what you mean by that.

He's saying they could release an app to let people make levels but not actually let them play anything on it as a marketing tool for the wiiu version.
That sounds dumb.

But part of the level construction process requires you to play the levels to prove they can be completed...

Puzzle League / Panel de Pon would be a great fit for mobile.
That would be the lamest, safest and most predictable thing they could do
It's probably Mario related so whatever.
Something Mario-related would be pretty damn expected.

JESUS really?! sit on the train and make your mario levels on the go and upload them. Owners of the game can play/finish said levels. It's free (in the thing I am imagining).
As far as I know, you can't hook up your wii on the train without much difficulty, so no it's not redundant.
Unless I'm taking crazy pills Nintendo and DeNA are partnering to investigate mobile gaming. which means iphone/ipad/android/windows(lol) devices mainly. If I have that right then a level designer for mario maker which skips out the actual playing of said game as the hook to push people toward their gaming platform seems like a no brainer to me.
indeed. In my design process, which was taking a shit while typing on a mobile, I didn't hash that all out real good. However, if nintendo had a non laughable login system, I think you could do the bulk of the work on a tablet and then save your level. playtesting could be done on your cloud saved levels later.
Yeah, why not a Splatoon spin off mobile game? The property is currently hot in Japan and there are lot of ways to expand the Splatoon universe.

Seriously, if they did Nintendogs, we'd be in the poorhouse from my wife spending too much money on DLC to spoil her fake dog. (joking)
It would still be really cool though. Nintendogs would sell dlc like crazy.

So many things Nintendo could do with their IP's. Make it happen Nintendo!
Going for a difference audience on a different plattform is very fine by me.
I bought an unopened Gamecube Logitech Steering Wheel for $120 just so I can replay the entirety of F-Zero GX with a wheel. I have never played it with a wheel before and the Logitech Wheel is the only wheel F-Zero GX supports.
I feel you man.
