Nintendo reported their third straight loss to investors, and it seems as though they may be willing to seek new ways to make profit.
Satoru Iwata, Nintendo’s president, said he would continue to run the company and added, “We are thinking about a new business structure. Given the expansion of smart devices, we are naturally studying how smart devices can be used to grow the game-player business. It’s not as simple as enabling Mario to move on a smartphone.”
As iOS and Android devices have gained market traction and improved hardware, they’ve been seen as direct competitors to Nintendo’s handheld consoles. Mobile gaming applications often cost only a couple of dollars, much less than traditional handheld games.
The Pokémon Company has released some apps for mobile devices, including their 3D Pokédex and a Japan-exclusive simple rhythm game which tied into the trading card game, but they have never released other games.
We’ll have to watch Nintendo’s strategies closely. Would you like to see Mario, Zelda or Pokémon on your phone or tablet?

Guys. Somebody find me an avatar with a character from Luigi’s Mansion, Yoshi’s Island, or Superstar Saga. I’ve scoured the internet.
Is this a natural evolution process? These Fakemon belong to me. They’re based off gargoyles/ traditional dragons.
Who uses Froslass on their team?

I have one but I’m not the best trainer.
froslass:
destiny bond
spikes
ice beam/shadow ball

*Thinking of something to awaken the Jungle” It seems as though everyone is talking about the Wii U’s appearance at E3 2014, and rightly so: the next Zelda will be announced, and that’s going to be a big hit. Do you think they will pair some surprising 3DS announcements as well to make the presentation an all-around masterpiece? If so, what?

It must be Hoenn! They wouldn’t use a Pokemon 3DS for nothing…right?
pokemon black 3 and white 3 cunfurmede
Oh Heyzeus Christe
I hope so! Unless it’s a red herring :/
Pokemon Bank was a red herring…
Maybe they would use it for nothing… iOS confirmed
The 3DS is red and the folder is red. Red herring!
Also, why would the approval be in English, isn’t Nintendo’s HQ in Japan?
