Ninendo's Gamble on Mobile Was Inevitable But Still Courageous

Nintendo announced a landmark decision yesterday, partnering with DeNA to bring Nintendo's beloved franchises to smartphones and tablets, breaking Nintendo's longstanding tradition of restricting its games to its own consoles. Apart from announcing a brand-new game console codenamed NX, the company confirmed in tandem, in a statement with GameSpot, "a core system compatible with a variety of devices including PCs, smartphones, and tablets, as well as NintendoÄ‚ËĂ˘â€šÂ¬Ă˘â€žËs dedicated video game systems." It's a controversial move that has had Nintendo fans split between doomsayers and profit-minded supporters. I believe this decision is inevitable and will likely be the cornerstone of Nintendo's future success.
