Topic: What Games Will We See on Mobile?

With Nintendo delving into the mobile market, we're eventually going to start seeing games developed for mobile. So what games do you think we'll see?

One thing I think is pretty much inevitable on mobile is a Mario endless runner. Certainly, Nintendo's flagship IP is going to make some kind of appearance, and an endless runner would be a great fit for it. It's also a genre they've never really done before. I wouldn't be surprised if this is one of the first 5 we'll be getting by 2017.

I honestly don't think Nintendo are going to release any games that devalue their dedicated gaming products. So I don't think we're going to see any straight up ports of Nintendo games. I also think that things like an endless runner Mario are both boring and pushing the "why would I get a 3DS" button a bit much.

So I'd expect things along the lines of what we'd usually see as downloadable games. Just built for mobile. With that in mind I'd say the absolute most we could get would be a Advance Wars for mobile.

Mario - As stated above, a runner would be most likely, though as only Miitomo will be F2P (the others will be paid), I don't think it'll be endless. Rather, I think it'll be level based (though an endless mode isn't out of the question).

Zelda - Tower defense. I can't stand the genre, but it's very prevalent on mobile, and Zelda would probably be their best bet (Pikmin, Fire Emblem, Star Fox, or Metroid may work too, but Zelda would have the biggest pull.

A puzzle game, maybe Dr. Mario, will probably show up, and maybe a new or remastered Kirby/Pokémon/Mario pinball game (if a remake, maybe they package all three together). Whatever the case, holding a tablet in portrait mode is a perfect fit for Pinball (I've been glued to the Android versions of Zen Pinball & The Pinball Arcade for awhile now).

Also, though it'd probably be a better fit as a minigame in Miitomo, I think they should release something that would introduce the general populace to the world of Nintendo. Maybe a claw machine game or shooting gallery (look up Popcork!), where you could obtain Nintendo figurines that you could decorate your Mii's room with (and would have descriptions of what they are).

I think a WarioWare game designed around mobile devices could be really cool. Not sure it will happen though. Also, Kirby Tilt 'N Tumble 2. Make it happen.

I think Brain Age and Game & Watch are two properties that will make their way to mobile though. A Mario endless runner makes sense as well. Not something I'd be interested in though.

I'm not expecting much since I'm still not sure about Nintendo games on mobile, but I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendogs was in the works for mobile.

God first.

@Megumi Is that what you think all F2P games are all like?

I personally want to see a Zelda CCG and a Mario endless runner.

DIdn't they say the other games will be paid apps? Of course things could change so nothing is for-sure until we see them actually announced and with a price point, but making a paid app is certainly a different approach from a F2P one. I'm sure they will still have IAP, but the games will have nowhere near the level of restrictions a F2P model would have.

As part of my NX concept, I've also made up my mind which mobile games Nintendo could make.

Note: NP/NU means Nintendo Portable/Nintendo Ultimate, the two consoles I dreamed up for my NX concept.

Nintendo
Check and buy latest Nintendo products and accessories, see upcoming games and get notified when they're out, and watch Nintendo Direct episodes and other live presentations from Nintendo.

My Nintendo
Manage your My Nintendo account, redeem Coins by purchasing Nintendo products or completing Missions, get exclusive rewards in return.

eShop
Shop and buy games for your NP and NU right from your smartphone or tablet.

Miitopia
Create your own Mii with Mii Maker and enter the world of Miitopia – where players around the world come together. Chat with others, share photos and videos of your adventures or write a post on the Townboard, or just have a good time, tour around, go shopping or give your home (or yourself) a new look.

Mario JUMP!
(Doodle Jump clone) Help Mario jump from mushroom to mushroom (or platform to platform) and avoid Goombas and Koopas and other enemies on his way. In-app purchase (Unlock Luigi, Peach and Bowser) available.

Donkey Kong Temple Run
(Temple Run clone) You've got your Bananas back, but now the Tikis are angry. Help Donkey Kong escape the Banana Temple by guiding him in the right direction and jump over obstacles blocking your way. In-app purchase (Unlock Diddy Kong, Dixie Kong and Cranky Kong) available.

My Pokemon
Have your favorite Pokemon, including fan favorites like Treecko, Charmander, Totodile, Pikachu, Riolu and Eevee, right on your smartphone or tablet. Poke it, feed it, dress it, train it - you're the Trainer. Pokemon can even evolve when they reach a certain level or are given a certain item. Transfer your Pokemon to Pokemon [NP] once they're ready. In-app purchases (food, accessories, other items, additional Pokemon) available.

Pokemon BATTLE!
Battle trainers from around the world and become the world's best Pokemon Trainer using Battle Passes (as in Pokemon Battle Revolution). In-app purchases (additional Battle Passes) available.

The Legend of Zelda
(Infinity Blade clone) You are Link and your job is to save Princess Zelda from evil sorcerer Ganondorf. Make your way through Hyrule in this point-to-point action adventure using your Sword, Shield, Bow and Bombs.

Animal Crossing
Find yourself in a new town, inhabited by anthropomorphic animals. Create your very own home, have a talk with your neighbours or just tour around and have a good time. Send Home and Character data to Animal Crossing [NP/NU]. In-app purchases (accessories, furniture, other items) available.

Fire Emblem
Clash of Clans clone with Fire Emblem characters. In-app purchases (?) available. (Haven't played any Fire Emblem games)

Kirby Rainbow Sweets
Bubble-shooter game in which you have to satisfy Kirby's unsaturable hunger for poppy sweets.

Star Fox
Guide Fox McCloud through the Lylat System and stop evil Andross from destroying it.

What is this forum, half threads closed, the other half too old to getting discussed? I didn't even look at the date btw.
