EscapeVektor developer Nnooo has created WiiWare, DSiWare and games for the App Store. Creative director Nic Watt claims that because consumers who buy Nintendo platforms are mainly interested in video games, while Apple consumers just want newness and cheap prices, developers – including Nnooo – have more success with creating WiiWare and DSiWare.
“In terms of sales, we have not seen anywhere near the volume of sales for Pop on iOS devices as we have on WiiWare and DSiWare.”
“The main advantage as far as we are concerned is that the people who buy Nintendo platforms actually care about buying and playing games. They are actively engaged in gaming and want new content and experiences. In comparison I feel that too many users of iOS are freeloaders who just want as much as they can get for as little expenditure. They are not looking for quality experiences or for longevity. They just want novelty and cheap prices.”
This is the best news this entire week :)
makes u all giddy inside doesn’t it
I think so too =D
dame freeloaders
Love this article, mobile gaming sucks compared to actual handhelds :)
Amen, bulby1994!!!!!!
yeah and fuck the fools who said blockshift is better than pushmo because it free.
App Store = More garbage.
That is FULL RIGHT
Am I the only one here who hates doodle jump?
I never understood why everyone likes it. Its like that minigame in Wario Ware DS where you sent that nose up to space, except, not fun.
Meh. Only ever got a few minutes out of it when I go somewhere without a charged 3DS.
Glad someone else realizes the fatal Apple flaw besides their hardware pricing.
Nice! Finally a good article xD
And this is why android and iOS will never “overthrow” gaming. Because people dont care for it. They’ll buy Angry Birds for the price of a can of coke but they’ll never invest in full blown games
lol can of coke getting tears in my eyes good one
Its true, Angry Bird cost 69p-£1, the price of a coke can or a small bottle.
And this is why I DON’T buy games for my iPhone. They’re EXACTLY like the internet games we used to play when we were younger: fun, and addictive, but not enough to be a legit game. And some legit internet games can be better with Steam or something. LOL
Keep telling yourself that. People don’t care for it yet all of these developers and virtually every major company is onboard them developing games.
You have to one giant fucking idiot if you do believe that.
The truth is that ipad/iphone games mean crap, if you want play real and serious games in it, the only fucking idiot here is you. Go back to your cave, troll.
That has no relevance to what was just said. Crawl back into your hole you gutless fanbitch.
Aeolus “It starts” troll are mad? lol
nintendo gamers are the realest must badass gamers out the three consoles. & we can easy beat any other 3rd party game far easily then others. From are childhood exprince growing with games. If anybody got a problem with what i said get six pokemon & holla at me. Oherwise be a whiny little bi*ch & cry over the internet
right on homie and tellem pk black and white 2 comes out soon ha
man you make my heart all fuzzy.
glad i could help im guessing
Well thank you. Hope to play online Wii U monster hunter 5 with you one day. You all know monster hunter 5 is coming to the Wii U, $ 50 for that matter. Pachter sir, I know you heard that lol. Let’s buy these third parties in abundance so developers keep rolling :).
Sounds like a plan, i see you in mh5, for the wii u.
You’re not a deluded nitwit at all.
Thanks, sadly i can’t say the same about you, & you’re shadow clones.
Why do so few people talk unintelligently on this site?
u tellem developer man they just want cheap devices and they are lazy in the process wow lol

Fuck you Morgan Webb for saying the Wii U is trying to compare to IOS, Fuck all of those haters of the 3DS and Wii U, Nintendo is about gaming and not gimmicks. Every “gimmick” has always meant success.
Case and point…..
GameBoy spawned GameGear in competition
Gameboy advance and DS spawned the PSP in competition
3DS is directly competing against Vita.
Wii remotes spawned Kinect and PS Move in competition.
The greatest factor in all this Nintendo has better quality and also more success. Seriously who is lining up to use their Kinect or PS Move..?
Nintendo isn’t a gimmick and they are innovators. So again I say enjoy hating Nintendo for being the innovators that they are.
mogan web a nasty ass harlot. That only virgin gamers like because she a sopose to be female gamer. please i seen beter looking & gaming women on pshome with more knowlage of gaming even tho half of them females there are guys lol
know he didn’t yes he did is aleous or what ever that slut name is on ps home i never use she’s a bitch
pretty sure of it. Explain why he act so flamboyant &
Obnoxious & spead like disease on mynintendonews. Hell he may have started that undercover dude thing on home lol
yeah; and fuck you Beamdog you guys don’t have hope unlike Nnooo did. For those who don’t know what im taking about heres a link:
http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2012/04/mdk2_dev_will_never_develop_for_nintendo_again
There games are not even good to begin with, who cares if they leave.
For future reference, Morgan Webb is the female Micheal Pachter. Everything she says is wrong and should be ignored.
Oh thank you! Finally someone grabbed their balls and speak out loud about this issue. Phone games can be successful, but not every game will get that success, and it mostly depends on how expensive it is and a little bit of luck. People on those phones will be happy to get the free version and never pay again since they are not really into gaming. People who play on consoles/dedicated handhelds are the ones interested in gaming and will pay for these games.
Thats because that shovelware game has been in the WiiWare and DSiWare sections since around both consoles’ launch.
It makes sense and this guy knows what he’s talking about. The problem with ios games is that they get boring quickly and lack effort. You can’t demolish the gaming community you can’t destroy something that’s been happening for dozens of years. ios games are more of a fad then something that is revonlutionary.Once people realize that, R.I.P ios gaming apps. -Dark Pit.
True Dark Pit skin over Pit in SSB4 I hope! :D
The only way for me to be an actual character in the next SSB is that Pit’s final smash is the great sacred tresure and mine would be Daybreack fully commp;eted. Also the wepons, I use the siver bow and Pit uses the first blade.
Pretty much what I’ve been saying for about a year now. Glad to hear someone else agree.
I miss Aeolus…
He wouldn’t be on this article. It’s good.
I actually replied you idiot. Read near the top…
You actually didn’t before he left that comment idiot.
people who go out of their way to buy expensive things always do this
This is ultimately the BEST comment I’ve ever read from developer Nooo!
it Nnooo, funny company name by the way.
lol just goes to show you that those who spend hundreds in things can be freeloaders to XD
Thats true, the Mobile Game Market sucks!!!

This is the Type of News that makes me happy. Let’s boggie :). Told you iOS game buyers want cheap thrills like Reno hookers. This is great for Indie developers that want to develop for the Wii U and 3DS.
This is hillarious!
hopefully this’ll continue on the Wii U. Love to see creative indie games taking advantage of the controller :D
I have an android, and being a handheld gamer, it sucked. The only time I ever play games on it is when i play my rom pokemon crystal, games like temple run don’t appeal to me :s
Very satisfying to read, since I prefer gaming on dedicated consoles.
Hurrah! Nice to see someone in the know, SAYING WHAT MOST OF US HAVE BEEN THINKING FOR A WHILE
you mad, apple?
The mobile gaming bubble could burst like the Wii bubble seemed to. There will be a time when something else grabs their attention and they just stop caring about mobile games. Perhaps the bubble will stay intact for longer than the Wii’s lifespan, but it will happen – I think.
