Hopefully just mobile games skinned with Nintendo, not Nintendo games put on mobile.

Sounds like what Sony does.

It will be. The games won't be made by Nintendo, they will be made for mobile, with mobile standards.

This will likely mean games like Pokemon Shuffle, Brain Age, and Nintendogs.

Angry gumba
Flappy fish
Turtle toss
Cut the vine.

I can see it now.

Did they specify whether or not this was coming to the west?

Also Animal Crossing

Also Animal Crossing

Possibly. I wouldn't buy though because that's just begging for Microtransactions. AC takes a lot of resources and assets to make. Since this is DeNa and not Nintendo, they won't have the resources from the previous games like Nintendo does. That's what makes AC so successful is that they re-use all the old assets while still using new ones.

No, I want the next 3D Mario exclusively for iOS.

If this comes to PC...................mine.

If mobile - I'll get it on my future iPad ;o
