Kelbaugh said he doesn't give much thought to the ongoing debate about whether or not Nintendo should make iOS and Android games. He has a job to do, and that's to create compelling content for gamers. The business decisions are up to Nintendo, he said.

" Watching this whole debate going on right now...I don't give it a whole lot of thought just because I'm concentrating on making a fun, great game and hardware's always kind of a revolving target I guess."
