Nintendo Subscription Service, Going Mobile. About Time or Beginning of the End.

Y'all probably heard Nintendos announcement today, so let's discuss. I for one am worried. Nintendo is already benching franchises to work on a select few, and now they are focusing some of their efforts completely on mobile and spreading thin in my opinion. I think I also saw and infographic that shows PC platform support as well, maybe it refers to the new Club Nintendo? They've also been going after ROM sites, so are they possibly going subscription channel service like Playstation Now? 

I wouldnt mind Nintendo games on iWatch, like Nintendo did back in the '80s!

I think this is much ado about nothing. They said clearly in the announcement that this is games designed for mobile specifically and none of their current stuff. Translation someone will create Mario Crush Saga that will cost 2 cents to make and sell for .99 retail. This will be directed at the same non-gamer audience who play games on their cell phones while waiting for the bus.

Bottom line: Nintendo is going to make money off people who wouldn't normally buy their games by selling stuff the audience won't remember buying when they sell it to them again next month with another title. Angry Marios FTW!

Whats this? You brought a logical and reasonable response to my click bate? You're not doing it right! 
And what you're saying is true. I think Nintendo even said that it's their characters that are recognizable to the world, not necessarily hardware, innovation or software so it makes sense go mobile.

Nah, responding to one of my community friends is all. Plus I was being hella diplomatic on the subject matter. Could have been worse because I've been drinking.

"Nintendo is redefining the platform from being a hardware box you place in your home to being the massive servers in DeMA. Where does Nintendo’s platform want to go? It wants to go everywhere it can."

Somehow I get the feeling "dedicated video game systems" are going to go the way of the dinosaurs.
