Miitomo is coming later this month to iOS and Android.
Nintendo announced that it's 'retreating' from the mobile games market.
They’re being dumb about it, that’s why. They really just need to dump the top ten best sellers on the GBA, upscale the resolution (or not, honestly) and they’d make a lot of money without really having to spend a whole lot themselves.
I’m sure it wouldn’t be impossible to rework some DS games to work as well. Rework Pokemon SS/HG for phones, sell it for 5-10 bucks and call it a day.
5-10 bucks?? are you INSANE?? Nintendo will sell it at the very least, for 40 bucks.
knowing Nintendo.
So why did they sell Super Mario Run for $10 on mobile? Or the Pokemon Crystal, Gold, and Silver which cost $10 individually on the 3DS?
Aren't they releasing a Pokemon MOBA in just a bit. Does this mean Nintendo is not making the games, but allowing 3rd parties to use their IP's to make mobile games
Pokemon is a separate company, only partly owned by Nintendo.
And are you referring to Pokemon Quest? That's already out, I've tried it and it's even more lame than Pokemon Go, though I expect it will be a hit with the 6 year olds as it requires no skill at all, even less than Pokemon Go, and that's a pretty low bar.

Thank you, Pokemon Unite is what I was talking about they just had a Nintendo Direct about it, and it is coming to Switch and Mobile.

Nintendo is a hardware company thru & thru. The hardware game machines are their bread & butter, unlike Sony & MS. Going mobile means losing their control on hardware profit.
Mobile competition is stiff, they cant rely on their rip off tactics and profit on a platform they dont own. Stick to selling outdated hardware for premium.
Nintendo were once adamant that they would never release a mobile game... How long that lasted! Since then, gamers have gotten six games from the company, with Mario Kart Tour coming soon. With how lucrative these mobile games can be, Nintendo is working on consistently releasing new titles on mobile. Here’s a ranking of every app that they’ve released so far.
