Nintendo: don't expect a 99-cent Mario game.

[ComeTurismO]

President Satoru Iwata praises smartphone market for aspiring game developers, but says it's not the right path for Nintendo.

Well good, if Mario were to be developed on Smartphones, it might as well be stupid.
Most likely to just be a puzzle game in my thoughts.

You know what this link is, its the source.

*EDIT: Plus, I agree with the comment, in the comments in the source, smartphone games get pretty boring later on. I was a freak for temple run lol, and later on, it made me fall asleep, and got bored of it.

$0.99? The president might have missed the fact that big game developers such as Electronic Arts and Square Enix ported their games to smartphones, and put price tag between $7 - $17 (depending on title).

Glad to hear Mario isn't going the same way Sonic went.

 

[Gahars]

People were expecting a $0.99 Mario game?

Still, I guess it's encouraging to hear this. I'm glad to know Nintendo won't just smartphone it in.

For all intents and purposes, Sonic The Hedgehog 4 Episodes 1 and 2 are thoroughly enjoyable, solid classic titles - this is a chit-chat about mobile games, which in the case of Sonic happen to be good.

Well, I wasn't expecting anyone to think there would be one.

Just my 2 cents.

 

[Clarky]

Don't think anyone expected a 99 cent version or even a mario game on a smart phone. Just these muppets who think everything needs to be on a smartphone just because it can be

or $30 total for that final fantasy game that was released in "chapters"....

You're about 97 cents short now.

 

[MelodieOctavia]

I kind of agree. It wouldn't make any cents.

 

[Guild McCommunist]

I always thought Nintendo wanted to nickel and dime their customers, but apparently not literally.

This is what I usually see in Mario games: "Only 20 more minutes of reading until you can actually play"

Are you kidding me? Are are you just illiterate?
No way it takes so long to read their 'stories'

Are you kidding me? Are you so witless that you didn't notice my misleading (joke) post.
I hope you get better soon.

But what about a 50-Cent Mario game?

Spoiler

 

[KingVamp]

You're about 97 cents short now.

That would make sense, but my 2 cents is going to the thread. Not this nonexistent game.

 

[Just Another Gamer]

I don't see a big deal I mean the only fun smartphone games are ports and games run through an emulator.

Well, it's better than having to wait an hour before you can press a button to watch yet another hour-long cutscene.

Touché

Truth! Yeah! I hate when you end up playing a game, waiting a rather long time to play, only to find that you got to sit through a movie rather than playing a game! I really think that RPGs especially need to give you an option to skip a cutscene. Especially if you've already seen it once or twice!
