They’re being dumb about it, that’s why. They really just need to dump the top ten best sellers on the GBA, upscale the resolution (or not, honestly) and they’d make a lot of money without really having to spend a whole lot themselves.

I’m sure it wouldn’t be impossible to rework some DS games to work as well. Rework Pokemon SS/HG for phones, sell it for 5-10 bucks and call it a day.

5-10 bucks?? are you INSANE?? Nintendo will sell it at the very least, for 40 bucks.

knowing Nintendo.

So why did they sell Super Mario Run for $10 on mobile? Or the Pokemon Crystal, Gold, and Silver which cost $10 individually on the 3DS?

Aren't they releasing a Pokemon MOBA in just a bit. Does this mean Nintendo is not making the games, but allowing 3rd parties to use their IP's to make mobile games

Pokemon is a separate company, only partly owned by Nintendo.

And are you referring to Pokemon Quest? That's already out, I've tried it and it's even more lame than Pokemon Go, though I expect it will be a hit with the 6 year olds as it requires no skill at all, even less than Pokemon Go, and that's a pretty low bar.

He’s talking about the newly announced Pokemon Unite.

Nintendo is a hardware company thru & thru. The hardware game machines are their bread & butter, unlike Sony & MS. Going mobile means losing their control on hardware profit.

Good because they suck at it. That mario kart was a disgrace.

fsfsxii1409d ago

Mobile competition is stiff, they cant rely on their rip off tactics and profit on a platform they dont own. Stick to selling outdated hardware for premium.

CptDville1409d ago

Thats a good thing. Their mobile endeavour were quite bad.
