The game genie has spoken: mobile Nintendo games are coming!

This week Nintendo announced they would be partnering with Japanese mobile gaming company DeNA to produce content for cellphones and mobile devices. While many are excited for a world where they can buy Nintendo games on their phone and stock prices have gone up, I'm a lot less hopeful. Mobile games tend to focus on microtransactions and cash shops. They have to, to offset the cheap (or free) entry price. They've already been edging into that territory, and so far I'm just not impressed.
