NINTENDO: OUR GAMES ARE NOT ON SMARTPHONE


Nintendo will continue to focus on its hardware and software platforms and will not release its games on smartphones. The company's president Satoru Iwata said he remained committed to video game consoles despite disappointing sales of the Wii U. The comments came after the makers of the Super Mario games  revealed a drop in profits. Plans for a new health business were also announced. 

Mr Iwata was speaking at a business briefing where he was outlining the company's future plans. "Lots of people have said we should go onto smartphones over the last few years, telling us our business would increase. But our approach is not to put our games on smartphones," he said. He did say that the company would license character rights to other firms and that mobiles had a place in helping customers "understand the wonder of Nintendo games".
