greatn posted:Square is just throwing up SNES and DS ports for the most part aren't they? Mobile ports aside, Square has actually done a lot of good stuff for mobile, including FF Dimensions (which was FFV 2.0 before Bravely Default came around), the entire Chaos Rings series (which is ironically getting ported back to Vita), and they've got a couple new things coming like Final Fantasy Mevius. And to their credit, they actually price their games like...well, games, instead of the app store's usual race to the bottom on pricing.

It is consistently amazing to me how bad mobile games are. I am sort of impressed that nobody has even accidentally been able to make one worth playing.

All I hope for is that that one dumbass's hope for "paying 99 cents to make Mario jump higher" doesn't happen and to Nintendo's credit it doesn't sound like it will, but there's always a little  inside

There are a lot of very good mobile games, the problem is that there are many, many, many more lovely worthless ones and itunes/amazon market/google play store have no real curated content. It's a battle of mindshare, the games lucky enough to be featured become popular and stay popular becuase they're listed. Smaller games have little to no chance unless there's a lot of word of mouth going around and that's a really flimsy thing to build a company around. At least with Nintendo they have ways to advertise and build awareness so their games stand a chance of not releasing and being immediately drowned out by the other 75 games releasing the same day.

For the amount of effort though, they could just drop Super Mario Bros. 1 for $10 and make $$$$$. Just having a $10 game that has the official Mario SOUNDS in it would be a huge deal.

abagofcheetos posted:the type of people that play mobile games do not give a poo poo about real games because if they did they wouldnt be playing mobile games It's a chicken and egg situation. You own a smartphone and presumably you like "real" games, you would be the potential audience for a "real" mobile game. There's no reason mobile games have to be f2p garbage though. Pokemon is actually great to have on a phone, doesn't require tactile controls at all and works well with a "play it for a few minutes when you have some downtime, then sleep it and come back to it whenever" style. Yeah Nintendo could adapt a "Pay $1 for a master ball" model but there's nothing about the platform that requires that, they could implement that in DS games easily enough (see pokemon shuffle).

They are focusing on original content, not ports. That include some remakes though as some games Nintendo has are basically touchscreen only anyway. So like, they aren't going to toss up Spirit Tracks for $15 and call it a god drat day. They'd probably put up some original thing with similar gameplay, Link's Courage Quest, with a new challenge room each day, where you can pay to instead unlock the whole game at once. And instead of just Donkey Kong Country, three would probably be something like a barrel launch challenge where you have to arrange the barrels properly and tap with good timing to launch Donkey Kong to the goal. DrPaper posted:Yes they easily can. Nintendo will be responsible for the actual game development though.

jivjov posted:Nintendo's DLC is much more substantial than pretty much anyone else's, and the base game doesn't feel gutted because of the existence of DLC. Maybe to blatant negative examples of DLC like in franchises such as Call of Duty, but tons of games release DLC content on par with the "substantial" additions Nintendo has added such as retro courses and new character models for Mario Golf and Kart. Then you have really unsubstantial grindy poo poo like in Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, or buying all of your favorite Fire Emblem characters with clashing art styles and reusing models. Hyrule Warriors DLC is pretty much on par with Tecmo-Koei's other DLC ventures in Musou games, only there's alot less of it. There's nothing that really sets Nintendo's early ventures into DLC above or below most games. The only difference is you really like Nintendo, and therefore see more value in being able to play as Toadette in Mario Golf and Dry Bowser in Mario Kart.

The only difference is you really like Nintendo, and therefore see more value in being able to play as Toadette in Mario Golf and Dry Bowser in Mario Kart. $12 for 16 more extremely well crafted course, essentially adding another 50% of the game for 20% of the price, while other DLC and season passes add like 20% extra game for 50% of the price, and those are the GOOD ones. Most of the time when you buy DLC for Nintendo games, you feel like you're getting almost another game for an add-on price, whereas most DLC from everyone else feels like an add-on for a price that should be a full game.

This isn't limited to mobile games, just about every online-focused game nowadays is about getting the player addicted to a payout cycle. Everyone who plays Destiny seems to actively despise the game, and yet they can't stop pouring 8 hours a day into it.

I see the Mario Kart DLC as above par - they increase the number of tracks in the game by 50% in addition to adding more characters for only $12. Another studio would either sell that much content as an expansion for a lot more money or nickel-and-dime you for everything in it. Half of the tracks are brand new and the other half are "retro" only in the sense that a similar track with the same name was in a prior game - they put a shitload of work into bringing them up to modern standards. You make it sound like they lazily drop assets from Double Dash or MKWii directly into 8.
