Bad news for players iOS there with a dream of one day seeing people like Mario, Zelda, link and perhaps even Kirby on their iPhone or iPads, with the President of Nintendo Satoru Iwata saying Japanese news organization Nikkei that Nintendo making games for smartphones is ?absolutely not consideration? under when he was questioned on the issue, under the IndustryGamers. ?If we have, Nintendo would cease to be Nintendo, ? told Nikkei. ?Having a team of internal hardware development is a major asset. It?s the obligation of management to make use of these forces. It?s probably the right decision in the sense that the time where we have started to release games on smartphones we?d make a profit. However, I believe that my responsibility is not in the short term, but mid-Nintendo?s and strength. ? competitive long-term gains that being said, I don?t see why this means that Nintendo can?t release versions of its popular games on the iOS and its own systems devices. After all, Pokemon, which is very much associated with Nintendo, although made by Game Freak, is bringing out Pokemon, tell tap? for iOS to the Japan, which has raised many hopes fans that Nintendo has eventually been softening its attitude to have its games on other platforms, but it would seem that it is more unlikely than ever.
