Nintendo has confirmed that it plans to use smart devices to expand its platform business and establish greater ties with consumers. The firm says it will use a small team of developers to create attention-grabbing content for smart devices, including an unannounced application that is scheduled to release this year.
“I have not given any restrictions to the development team, even not ruling out the possibility of making games or using our game characters,” said Nintendo president Satoru Iwata. “However, if you report that we will release Mario on smart devices, it would be a completely misleading statement. It is our intention to release some application on smart devices this year that is capable of attracting consumer attention and communicating the value of our entertainment offerings, so I would encourage you to see how our approach yields results.”
they had better not use that lame wiiu holiday commercial that will not make people get the console.
How about a Nintendo News feed app with exclusive content like Nintendo Zone?
HURRY UP WITH MIIVERSE MOBILE. Jeebus Price. Feels luke it’s been forever already. And we’re in need of something like Nintendo Power. Nintendo direct simply isnt cutting my monthly cravings

Monolith Soft’s X my friend
I hope we get a Nintendo Network app, with the possibility to buy and download games to your Wii U (and 3DS) on the go! I’d also like to see more use of both Wii U and the Nintendo 3DS in apps and games, rewarding people who own both!
We’re getting that soon, see this http://www.nintendonews.com/2014/01/nintendo-will-offer-fans-true-account-system-not-bound-to-hardware/

– THE REAL ICEAZEAMA
Oh really?
Gibs me back my casual gamers, smartphone!
Miiverse, Eshop App and Nintendo Zone app.
Navi app, Navi-Flies-Through-Space App, Navi, Fox and Mario, Together in Space App, Nintendo-Space App
HEY! LISTEN!
A Nintendo app or an Eshop app would be nice on my android, make it happen, not sure why havent this being made already, Iwata needs to step down already..
More like Reggie he is responsible for what happens in the US in the first place. Fire him and hire someone with more drive.
its not Iwata its the investors that pushed for the Wii U to be low power, to push Mario and other remakes, and to make the system power PC over X86. Screw the investors. But hay Iwata is buying out 8% that move well push out sloppy investors and raise company value
iwata is above reggie, even in the us
noa – iwata ceo > reggie coo
PPL

Nintendo, just make same good games! God sake.
Bring VC to Mobile Platforms, but only allow the games to be played with a Nintendo Network ID that is assigned to a Wii U. Therefore if you wanted to play VC games on a mobile device you would HAVE to purchase a Wii U first
That’s actually a great idea!
So, it’s NOT bringing the Virtual Console to mobile, it’s bringing the Nintendo eShop to mobile so you can buy there and go home and play on your Wii U!
I honestly don’t see this working, but it’s a start!!!!
I’m already tired of talking smartphones and Nintendo, I bought so many smartphone games and I only played ONE! ONE THAT I REALLY LIKED! After that I haven’t put down my 3DS playing Pokemon Y, why? ‘CAUSE IT’S A FULL PRICED, FULL EXPERIENCE VIDEO GAME! WOOHOO!

Unquestionably consider that that you said. Your favourite reason seemed to be on the web the easiest thing to understand of. I say to you, I definitely get irked even as folks think about concerns that they plainly do not understand about. You managed to hit the nail upon the highest as neatly as outlined out the entire thing with no need side effect , other folks can take a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thank you
