Nintendo hasn’t been shy about saying that their mobile offerings haven’t generated as much cash as they had expected. In a recent interview with The Nikkei, upcoming Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa says he wants one major blockbuster to change their fortunes in that area. It’s not clear what game he’s alluding too, but they clearly have something in the works that they are confident will generate lots of cash.
“In an interview with Japanese business daily Nikkei, Nintendo’s new president Furukawa says he wants his company to grow its smartphone gaming business to 100 billion yen ($911 billion) – with one blockbuster. Last fiscal, that business generated less than 40% of that number.”
Just put Zelda CDi on mobile and BAM instant money.
😂😂😂I wonder whats for DINNER
Hmmm… Yes, I would love that.
… I would love that, indeed.
Make more money to put Metroid on mobile.
Zelda or Metroid on mobile then
i thought that fire emblem heroes is still making loads and loads of money
Well, they said Mario Run wouldn’t do it any worse than Pokémon Go…
It does, but not enough for them. They’re trying to expand its marked though
Just focus on switch games. Animal Crossing Pocketcamp was great at first.. then I became bored with it and didnt have time to keep up.
Have you played FE Heroes? Once you get into it, it’s fantastic!
Well, they said Mario Run wouldn’t do it any worse than Pokémon Go…
FE Heroes is so lit lmao, so if we can get another Nintendo game on mobile if it’s calibur it be chill af. My non-Nintendo friends play FE now because of this game and it’s awesome that they do as they used to barely play any video games.
This guy will kill Nintendo with this mind set
He means a game that forces people to go out and purchase mobile phones (if they don’t already own any), just to play it. MOBILE PHONES.
Last time I checked, mobile games were just there casual titles for fun or jerking money out of your pocket beat by beat. Heck, people don’t make a big deal out of it because they conveniently have these devices or there’s enough big budget games on consoles and handheld systems, so you don’t feel like you’re missing out.
Here, it sounds like he wants something akin to Super Mario Odyssey, ARMS, BotW, or your average Pokemon game on a mobile phones.
No one makes mobile games to sell phones.
What he wants is to be a major mobile title software company, which there are making billions.
But mobile-exclusive games?
Yes. Niantic is already#2.

Just don’t forget where your real audience is Nintendo…
||Don’t you dare put Metroid on them or else you will see something far beyond that of the FF-Virus…||
I concur with Quadraxis. Keep Metroid far, far the fuck away from mobile. … Pinball games might be okay, though. lol
Hey, just to letcha know 100 billion yen is 911 Million, not 911billion.
