After Iwata's big failure speech, he said something about thinking about the phone industry. Now a ton of companies are making all kinds of statements that Nintendo should release a Mario game or two on IOS so Nintendo can get back on track.

“Nintendo should offer Super Mario or Zelda games on smartphones and tablets and raise money,” said Tomoaki Kawasaki, an analyst at Iwai Cosmo Holdings Inc. in Tokyo. “If such games become popular, some people may want to play it on Nintendo’s machines.”

“Nintendo has a treasure trove of highly recognized characters. They could make billions in carefully devising a strategy that could exploit its strength in content without the price destruction that would come from abandoning its hardware.”

“Nintendo’s console side is broken,” Pachter said in an interview. “They’re not even an also-ran there, they just don’t matter.”

Iwata “has to take responsibility for the Wii U missing the mark,” Pachter said. “He will be under pressure to make dramatic changes. If he can do so while remaining in charge, more power to him, but they need to make some changes.”


I personally, am a supporter of this, this is a good way to get Nintendo back on track, and i'd LOVE a real Super Mario 3D Land-style Mario game on the IOS (not 3D Cartoon Land Safari >.>) I don't think Nintendo should STAY like this. But it would certainly help for a limited amount of time.

Just to correct you, it's iOS, not IOS. IOS is the microkernel-based operating system running on the Wii/Wii U's ARM core, while iOS is Apple's operating system for mobile devices based off Mac OS X.

That is all I have to say about that.
Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has told The Wall Street Journal that the company has no intention of making its key titles available on tablets and smartphones over fears it will damage the brand and also impact on Nintendo 3DS sales.

“The spread of smart devices does not spell the end of game consoles. It’s not that simple,” President Satoru Iwata said at a news conference Friday. The key is to figure out a way to use smartphones to make people aware of Nintendo’s games, and encourage them to try out the console version of the games, Mr. Iwata said.

“It doesn’t mean that we should put Mario on smartphones,” he said.

In the meantime, it is worth noting that Nintendo is beefing up its research and development budget, and that Mr. Iwata promises to surprise game players in the future. While there are plenty of unknowns, Nintendo isn’t saying game over to consoles just yet.

Nintendo would never :P

It's not just pachter. And if Nintendo doesn't, they can enjoy their shit Wii U sales, or find another way.

Ninty games dont belong in phone devices. Try playing something like 3d land or a platformer on a touchscreen. It sucks.

They would have to make mario games based on what you can do on phones that isn't tedious. You will get simple ninty games that are like playability in angry birds, cut the rope, etc.

Releasing games on iOS is something they shouldn't do in general.

I'd like them to release ONE good Mario/Zelda/Pokemon/whatever for iOS but not any more.

They should make one game for phones just so we can see the reception. Only If the game becomes a worldwide phenomenon and/or the most downloaded game on iOS then they might CONSIDER making another.

But really they should make one small NSMB game for iOs. It doesn't have to be original or anything (just take NSMB2 for the 3DS and edit some levels: profit), but I think that everyone here knows that a good Mario Platformer on iOS would probably be one of their best-selling games.

There are already so many 2D Platformers that are hilariously bad copies of Mario that sell well on app Store ("Lep's World" for example, which was popular enough to get TWO sequels). A TRUE 2D Mario on smartphones would blow the competition away (again it doesn't have to be as good as the other console NSMB games, but heck as long as it's as good as the original NSMB or NSMB2 it's more than enough for everyone).

So yeah a 2D Mario is the only thing I support regarding this, since the iOS Market just craves a good 2D Platformer, EVERYONE wants a 2D Mario on smartphones (just admit it) and we all know that it's going to sell really well. I also don't really think Nintendo can make a good Zelda game on iOS, and even if they can I'd rather like them to just save any original and great concepts for the upcoming Wii U zelda :p

The problem is, such a platformer wouldn't be very good because of the limitations of the touch screen, specifically that the controls would be awkward because of the lack of tactile feedback. The only real way to solve the problem would be to change the control scheme entirely, like in Rayman Jungle Run. (Maybe make it like the running stages in NSMB2? Idk)

Remember too that iOS 7 has support for controllers, so that would really help for this. I really hope they do make iOS games! Even just Super Mario Bros. would be awesome!

Probably if they were to make a game for iOS, Mario Kart would be the best thing they could put on it.

They can just make something like Angry Birds Go, but make it not horrible (maybe just port a smaller version of MKDS or something....)

I think you underestimate today's phones.

Have you seen Real Racing 3? That game is really impressive for iOS.

Today's phones are at least twice as powerful in many levels than the 3DS...
But mobile games suck in general. I'd like to see what Nintendo would have to offer.
