Nintendo Shares Skyrocket After Smartphone News

I'm all for new Nintendo games for mobile but to go with dena in my experience most of their games are of the pay to play design hopefully the Nintendo ones will be different

My money says Nintendo's planning to make a smartphone of their own, which will be the only platform that their smartphone games will run on.

In b4 microtransactions. Buy more lives for Mario for just $1.99

great for you Nintendo.
I don't personally game on smartphones or tablet, because it's garbage and games are crap.
but companies gotta follow social trends.

some may argue climate change is a myth, but human stupidity is not.

Either mobile will drag Nintendo down or Nintendo will raise mobile up. I tend to think Nintendo is capable of the latter.

Conforming to the interests of the lowest common denominator will inevitably lead to destruction.

I hate the stock market, it regulates things that it shouldn't, creates bubbles and distorts the "real value" of properties because it only exists to make money from money instead of quality products.

It's about time. This is the most sensible thing they've done. I think they should have started this maybe 4 years ago however.

Nintendo is coming back big, and I think the new software sales of their tablet games will eat the 3DS's lunch.
In fact, I think they will take focus away from the Wii U and put those resources into mobile.

I really don't think this is going to be the godsend people are making it out to be.

This is reminiscent of Sony being sure the portable gaming space and the Vita were their tickets to victory.

I've never dreamed that sorry.

<< LINK REMOVED >> Gamers don't know how to read.

Id be all like: SELL SELL SELL SELLL!!!

mario on your iphones

FRACK MOBILE GAMING!

Didn't they talk a whole lot of shit sayin they would never come to mobile?

Sounds like SEGA all over again.. Let's concentrate on software....wa...wa...waaaaaah.....

This is a sign of defeat, shame and failure.

As a long time Nintendo supporter my only feeling is: Meh.

Way to sell your soul...

Okay, the news is great, and I totally welcome new experiences based on their classic properties. But please, PLEASE port the classics, too. Emulators are nice but I would pay good money to have them from the official source!

been saying that Nintendo should give in to the mobile app stores but fanboys were always like "that's never gonna happen.. the 3DS is tEH king"… where is your god now??

Not only that but it's got a great slew of games coming this year. Excited for Nintendo and glad I got the Wii U first.

Rise of Nintendo!

I guess you can expect a " Mario Temple Run " and "Mario Jump" then. You can also expect to pay $5 for NES & Gameboy games. Hope you guys are happy paying for them again.

Can't wait to play the new Zelda on my iWatch!

If Nintendo would've announced another hardware console, chances are their shares would plummet. They deserve more than they get, they should be more than a "kids company", but no one trusts them to do something "serious", something more than a childish gimmick, at least hardware-wise, although everyone can enjoy their games. Statistics beat fun.

Could be good for their bottom line, but they might also canibilise sales of the 3DS or 3DS games.

I have an old DS lite which I bought to play on my 1.5hr commute each way to work. Once I got my smartphone I played the DS less.
