Do you think Nintendo COULD successfully transition its properties to a phone? [roundtable]

I was just reading another goddamn financial analyst article about how Nintendo still refuses to put their franchises on smartphones and tablets (except for that Pokemon rhythm thing), and it got me thinking. How many of Nintendo's franchises WOULD smoothly transition over to a tilt/touch-based format? Would Mario lose his magic if all of the levels were auto-scrolling? Would F-Zero still be F-Zero with tilt control and automatic acceleration (that's rhetorical, since automatic acceleration should, OF COURSE, be a standard feature on arcade racing games by now)? Or could Nintendo work their design magic and successfully bring these franchises to mobile platforms? At the Squeenix premium? Let's ignore the possibility of virtual pads and buttons, since, after trying Zenonia 4, I would like to forget that they exist altogether. Wario Ware would, of course, be a shoe-in, since one could say that it was the precursor to many mobile game designs. Pokemon would work, as well. Nintendo could probably also somehow leverage their Wii Sports experience. And most of their puzzlers and downloadable titles would work. But I can't really see the Metroid magic being preserved in a Morph Ball Labyrinth game. (That said, Tilt'n'Tumble would obviously be a great fit.)

@JargonPlus, Nintendogs and Cats = been there, done that...6 years ago. Games like that do not have the same selling power like Mario. Sure those games sold great all those years ago. Just cause they were in 3D this time with graphics that are better was not enough to make people want those games all over again. Seriously, what did the NIntendogs on the 3DS do that Nintendogs on the DS didn't? I'm being serious here, cause I never played those games. I remember my kids had the NIntendogs software and I was bored, like really quick. Did Nintendo improve the AI GREATLY for the 3DS versions? If it was basically the same ole games, but just in 3D, no wonder they are not selling as good. People need to remember, Nintendo really appealed to the casuals 6 years ago, with the DS and the Wii. Sure Nintendo got people to buy consoles and videogames, who previously never bought those items before. Now, we are kindof back to square one. One thing, I actually believe the Wii U is going to sell better than what most of the analysts and editors of all these different gaming sites think. Now, its not going to be the Wii all over again, but lets say its close, I will not be surprised. I'm actually thinking this controller with the screen may make people crazy just like the Wii and it's motion controls. I will admit that I feel the way most of you do, along with the analysts and editors. You just never know what will make people really want something. This is something different, so who knows. Nintendo just needs to come up with different ways to entice people. The hardcore and the casuals. I don't think Wii Fit U will be the answer though. Hopefully, Nintendo has something up their sleeves, as far as 2013 and beyond is concerned. |
