I was just thinking -- as any NES-era child does -- that perhaps the greatest
benefit of Pokemnon Go (ive never played a Pokemon game) is that it convinces
Nintendo to port its classic IPs to mobile. As a very disappointed WiiU owner,
mobile seems like a brighter future for Nintendo than the console wars.

Nintendo 3DS is continuing to do so well right now I don't think they have a
big incentive to port to iOS/Android. I personally was just deciding whether
or not to buy a 3DS (my first *DS) and the content available for it but not on
mobile was the biggest selling point.

Making the games available on mobile could very well eat into their platform
profits. Unless they start failing in that area I don't see them investing in
it in the short term.

Although it would obviously be a big cash cow if they chose to either way. But
they wouldn't be able to sell games for $39 like they do now on the Nintendo
eShop.

And they didn't even make proper Pokemon game. What I mean by that, this is
something expected, since AR gaming on Nintendo's platforms is nothing new.
What led to popularity is the iOS/Android platform.

This game is bollocks, I didn't even installed it after I saw _total_
permission request over Google Acc.

And what shocked me the most, is how lazy this game was done, I am not saying
that infrastructure behind it is bad, I do not know about it anything, but the
lack of combat and everything else makes me feel this is rather bad attempt to
recreate Pokemon experience we all know and love
is good, but I'd 
 love to see what Intelligent Systems could do with a native iOS plot.
