In the digital world, content has the tendency to lose value, especially on smart devices. We finally found solutions to the problem. We will not merely port games developed for our dedicated systems to smart devices just as they are\u2014we will develop brand new software which perfectly matches the play style and control mechanisms of smart devices.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
So what about monetization? That’s what has ruined several mobile-remakes of classic games, including EA’s Dungeon Keeper. Iwata says Nintendo will never embrace a monetization scheme that is seen as hurting their brand or intellectual property and given how reluctant Nintendo has been in the past to embrace DLC, I believe him.<\/p>\n
Nintendo does not intend to choose payment methods that may hurt Nintendo\u2019s brand image or our intellectual property. It\u2019s even more important for us to consider how we can get as many people around the world as possible to play Nintendo smart device apps, rather than to consider which payment system will earn the most money. We would like to create several hit titles by effectively leveraging the appeal of Nintendo IP.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
