Pokemon Go is perfect for mobile gaming but 3D games are impossible to be playable in the long run on mobile platforms. But, Nintendo is still new in this area.

Pokemon Go is perfect for mobile gaming but 3D games are impossible to be playable in the long run on mobile platforms. But, Nintendo is still new in this area. They made a revolution with Pokemon go and I expect them to push forward.

Going to agree with you on that one. As a gamer, I find it hard to embrace mobile gaming but with Pokemon go things went in a different direction.

  Nintendo didn't develop Pokémon Go - they just licenced out the IP to Niantic. http://pokemongo.nianticlabs.com/en/ http://pokemongo.nianticlabs.com/en/

    The Pokemon Company licensed out to Niantic, Nintendo is just a big shareholder of that. Aka, Nintendo did not do anything there.

      Incorrect. They actually had a finger on this product. "The concept for the game was conceived in 2014 by Satoru Iwata of Nintendo and Tsunekazu Ishihara of The Pokémon Company as an April Fools' Day collaboration with Google, called Pokémon Challenge." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_Go#Development https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_Go#Development

  I'd recommend Severed http://severedgame.com/ http://severedgame.com/ It's totally designed for mobile but ends up feeling like good console game. It's easily my favorite iOS game to date

  If Nintendo is a big shareholder in The Pokémon Company, then they aren't completely independent now, are they?

  So Nintendo are making nothing from Pokémon Go? I thought -- from reading in various places -- the project was a collaboration between Niantic, Google, and TPC; and that the latter had Nintendo as the major shareholder (minor shareholder + using a shell company that they're major shareholder of)? Am I completely mistaken?

" 3D games are impossible to be playable in the long run on mobile platforms" So.....people putting hundreds of hours into 3DS and Vita games are what, wrong?

Revolution by putting stale 90s kids' franchise to Ingress?
