CEO of Japanese gaming consultant firm, Kantan Games, Serkan Toto has spoken to CNBC about Nintendo’s upcoming venture into the mobile space. Toto admits that if they decided to release something like the Mario Kart franchise on mobile devices then it would be sure to sell billions, however such a move would be unlikely at present. Toto also says that the investors that he has spoken to are feeling much more positive about the company as they feel Nintendo is certainly onto something at the moment with the plans that they have put into place.
“Its core target group have all migrated to tablet and mobile, but everybody wants Mario Kart on their mobile, if they released that, they would make billions.
“Nintendo is a very Japanese, very conservative company. It doesn’t help that they are based in Kyoto, in a bit of a bubble, away from the metropolis.
“But investors I speak to are more positive. Even in the last 3-4 months, as their 1st application has been named and it has been dated, there is a trailer and a rollout strategy. So longer-term things are looking positive.
“Peers like Activision Blizzard and Electronics Arts in the U.S. have also struggled to tap the mobile space for profits, but Nintendo have some advantages here. Firstly they have chosen the right partner – DeNA, which have years of experience in mobile gaming,” Toto added.
I’m not :(
I was thinking about making a investment in ntdoy. I think it’s best if I do it now
it makes more sense toputthe core games to nintendo’s console and portable hardware than on mobile, spin-offs make more sense on mobile, besides i would rather play mario kart on a console or portable that has buttons than a mobile device that i have to buy a 3rd party controller just to play it.
Migrated to mobiles? lol And Mario Kart would be shit on mobiles without a controller. It wouldn’t make any billions because it would be terrible. Mobile gamers aren’t interested in good games. They like mindless shit that only required tapping a finger to play. The stuff you play while you take a dump or sit on the bus to work. Now, I’m not saying there’s no money to make. There IS money to make. But it’s meant to make people wanna buy actual Nintendo consoles. NOT STAY ON MOBILES. DUH!
shut up
I personally would hate to play Mario Kart on my tablet or phone. I’d feel like I was going to break either due to a lack of the fact that PHONES ARE HORRIBLE FOR GAMING!
Funny, because they weren’t too confident when Miitomo was announced!
These analysts’ lack of vision is incredible. You could have new games designed with phones/tablets in mind, both for existing and new IPs, but no. XP “Just put Mario Kart on a tablet!” smh
good stuff sickr loving the news. also Nintendo is doing a great job with there work even so hype about the Nintendo NX
You’re bullshittin right? Lol
i like to see more news at midnight i do because the UK is head of my time EST
I see…………….what the hell are you talking about?
Anubis?
Who?
Yes anubis. You’re arua is most certainly fucking there.
He’s watching…
Do tell…
I’ve been observing the activities of this site. You were once named “I’m a Boss Ass Bitch” and recently would argue with then one you refer to as “quatrabitch”?
Well, this just got interesting.
Ooh! Ooh! Do me! I want to see if you can name all of my previous names before this one!
Let’s see…
Rogue Master XenoRidley X3
Jaded Ridley X3 {I’m not whining, you suckers… *cough* ..poor souls! I’ve just been driven insane by Nintendo failing me one too many times this gen!}
Jaded Ridley Bowie X3 {R.I.P. David Bowie, the One & Only Goblin King!}
Xeno Ridley
Just to name a couple
Now that I think of it, there was a guy named “Vote Ridley for smash!!!” and “Ridley is too big”. That has to be you.
I never used those names. I used “Ridley 4 Smash!” once if I recall but never those. Besides, the second name sounds like an anti-playable Ridley person & I’m in support for a playable Ridley in Smash one day, not against it.
Ah yes, my fucking mistake.
That name has been fucking tainted by shenanigans I wouldn’t dare to dig back up. The Quadrabitch is nothing but an old bitter fool. Who wishes that I become his pet for his entertainment purposes. I’m not having that shit. Our Supposedly rivalry will continue until one of us is ultimately defeated. This prolonged war has been going for almost a 2 years now. Nothing but fierce battles with me winning every one while the Quadrabitch withdrawals everytime like the little bitch that he is.
All he wants is servants for his little mindless “cattle”. You are smart enough to not fall for it. If anything, I can mess with him if you want.
Do as you please. But stay out of my fucking way. I’ll be the one to seal his fucking fate.
But you probably don’t even have the balls to withstand the amout of fuckery that he spews out. YOU should become my “servant” and learn the teachings of the bossian bitch clan.
Waaaay too much fire emblem. I seriously need to chill the fuck out.
I don’t think you know what I’m really capable of.
Let’s see your flame technique. If it can surpass that of flame god and the goddess of salt. Then so be it.
Hmm….very well.
Listen here you fucking bitch! I don’t give a fuck you are or where the fuck toy came from, but you better take your down syndrome orangutan outta here! Bitch
How’s that? Don’t worry, this illusion will fade away is about 18 hours. Do you fucking understand me? Talk to you…er me tomorrow!!!
Now you know my power, can I be your ally?
Bitch please. You call that fucking power? Lol oh goodness. Someone take this bitch to flame school. I didn’t even feel fucking intimidated. Using down syndrome as a insult makes you nothing but a low trashy insignificant bitch. Ally? Please I don’t need a fucking dick rider.
Hint: The key to flaming is to use what that person said and reflect it back at them.
Sike bitch! I don’t side with no one hahaha! You would only get in the way, silly human.
-||Too late boy, I destroyed Aeolus the Sonyan Assassin long ago||-
-||You silly dog, in need of more “food” again are you?||-
Shut Tue fuck up quatrabitch.
-||Go fetch the stick, shoo shoo||-
How dare you speak to me like that you robotic bitch.
I see you watching me.
I sense a familiar arua. I know it. Lol you can’t fucking hide from me.
As to be expected for we are in the same realm.
I see. Same realm or whatever. I can sense it. But whateves, nothing but a bunch crazy bitches around here.
Heheheh, you have no fucking idea.
Oh trust me. I’ve been here since the wii u rumors and shit. I’ve commented a couple of times under anonymous. During those days, nothing but a bunch of ill witted scandals roamed this ratchet land.
the comments section used to be utter chaos here. I’m amazed h calm its been back then). However Nintendo commander has always been a thorn by my side. That pesky little toaster.
Aeolus. Man I wish I had the chance to tear that bitch to shreds. But oh well.
Don’t get me started on that rat lol. You hate him more than Nintendo Commander or something?
I hate everything and everyone equally. Including you.
I’ve been waiting to hear those words! You’ve been warned…
Oh please. Your warning means shit. I’m not fucking scared of anyone. Soon we will have a face off. Soon!
I fear no one. Trust me, I’m not the one you want to argue with. Take down commander first, he’s your top priority buddy :)
Serkan Toto needs to shut the fuck up. It’s bad enough Konami & Sega are getting high off the mobile cash cow.
Yeah Nintendo is absolute shit
You literally post the same comment in every thread. Why do you come here again?
No I don’t have you been reading all or at least a lot of comments and I will keep telling you why I come go this website since you have shot memory I cone to this website to know about the very few games I actually want to play on the wii u and the several games I want to play on the 3ds and not much else interests me from Nintendo I don’t care about the majority of shut they do or make or whatever just the games little child now do you understand
shut up
Stay out of the conversation little child
what did i do?

It could be smart to make a barebone mobile version of mario kart, that somehow would encourage to consoles with ads or something.
“Nintendo is a very Japanese, very conservative company. It doesn’t help that they are based in Kyoto, in a bit of a bubble, away from the metropolis.”
Yeah…cause them being in Japan is a bad thing…you would them rather be in the USA where the country with the worst debt it, and where they would be out of their element failing miserably, right…dumbasses.
This is so true it hurts. Japan’s market may be in a recession, but compared to us, they’re swimming in yen. XD
well the companys do have there resources in there local budget for this year
