WP - "Lep's World 3 is the follow-up to the first two Lep's World games, which bring the gameplay of the old school NES Mario games over to the iOS and Android platforms. Your goal is to progress from world to world and from level to level, stomping on enemies, collecting pots of gold and gold coins, as well as various power ups."
The current Nintendo financially woes as a result of the failing Wii U has led many analysts to argue that the company should turn to smartphones. This Grab It Magazine article points out how gamers are already fine enjoying Nintendo-like games on the App Store anyway. Videos, links and information on the jump.
This makes me sad. Maybe one day Mario, Zelda, ect. won't exsist anymore. I grew up Nintendo and that's crazy to me. I've tried very hard to embrace Wii U but it leaves a bit lacking.
I think the industry would be so much poorer without them. But I don't think iOS is the answer. Isn't the 3DS selling well anyway?
I think it's crazy to think Nintendo should work for other formats. Has it really worked for Sega. They survived, bu they are barely relevant anymore.
I say just tough it out and do a console your customers actually want. They speak a lot and loudly... just listen Nintendo. Listen.
unless they get quality games with offscreen gamepad control i dont want smartphone games from any company
given how many games there are copying the Pokemon formula, i think that's one series that would do very well on smartphones or tablets.
WP- "Lep's World 3 is a new leprechaun-themed platforming game that recalls some of the play of the oldest Mario games. Even the blocks look similar - the bricks, the gold treasure blocks, the one-ups, etc. Plus, you have your overworld stages, underwater stages, cave stages, and your castle stages with a boss inside. There aren't any princesses, though, but this game will bring back some nostalgia for those who can't get enough of the old style of platforming."
WP - "Lep's World 3 has a whole range of new bonuses that you can get. You can purchase characters, purchase extra lives, buy power ups such as Super Lep, the winged boots and the super jump boots, and of course, buy more levels. You can purchase extra lives as well. You can rack up a huge IAP bill if you purchase all of these, but it's possible to get many of them for free."
