http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/01/20/ ... martphonesHere's an interesting update on this whole "Nintendo making smartphone games" line of thinking. According to the above article, Iwata says that they have no plans to bring Mario and "key franchises" to smart phones because it would cut into 3DS sales.
Did anyone else catch what he did there? He said "key franchises" more than likely consisting of Zelda, Mario, etc.. However, he doesn't specify, and this means that they could throw any amount of resources into smartphone gaming that they see fit. Meaning new IPs, or lesser know IPs could be seen on smartphones.
Maybe I'm just being over paranoid, who knows.
