A graphic in that story indicates that Nintendo are moving towards a device-agnostic, subscription-based approach to game releases. Sort of Netflix, but for games. Challenges would certainly exist from a controller point of view, but if they can provide a controller standard to work across multiple devices it could work. Of course, this is mostly rumour at this point. Interested in seeing what the Nintendo NX turns out to be.

> The graphic in that story indicates that Nintendo are moving towards a device-agnostic, subscription-based approach to game releases. Where are you seeing this? I only saw a progression of the Super Mario Bros. games over the past 30 years. Nothing (that I could see) hinted at moving in this direction. If you're referring to the hand drawing the board, this is more in reference to forthcoming Mario Maker title for the Wii U: http://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/i7YeZxnWhEFX6ST-sLdUBGmLoZivzNP5 http://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/i7YeZxnWhEFX6ST-sLdUBGm...

    Are we looking at the same thing? [1] I'm not seeing this at all. The only thing I see is about the history of SMB. [1] https://www.nintendo.co.uk/games/oms/mario30/index.html https://www.nintendo.co.uk/games/oms/mario30/index.html

        My misunderstanding -- you were referring to my link, not the root link. I see what you're referring to now.
