As a Nintendo alumnus since Doki Doki Panic, having worked on most Super Mario and Mario Kart titles, Hideki Konno is heavily involved with some of Nintendo's hottest properties. Nintendo's serious intentions for producing quality experiences for phones and tablets are being backed up as Konno has been appointed to head up their mobile game development.
"Regarding the number of the titles, you may want to know that we will release approximately five titles by the end of the next fiscal year, which is the end of March 2017", said Iwata in Nintendo's financial report; "We aim to make each title a hit, and because we want to thoroughly operate every one of them for a significant amount of time after their releases" he continued.
It's difficult to tell what type of titles Nintendo's cooperation with DeNA will result in, but the desire to specifically craft games optimized for mobile from the ground up is probably the right approach, rather than shoehorning existing titles and slapping on a touch interface.
What franchises would you like to see, and how should they be handled for bite sized touch-focused gaming?
