Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has officially stated that they will not be making or porting any games over to iOS. Nintendo is just being Nintendo stating that it will not make games for any other console other than itself.
While investors were pushing for iOS porting of games such as Mario and Sonic Nintendo fired back with development for iOS is under “absolutely not under consideration”.
Satoru Iwata States:
“If we did this, Nintendo would cease to be Nintendo. Having a hardware development team in-house is a major strength. It’s the duty of management to make use of those strengths. It’s probably the correct decision in the sense that the moment we started to release games on smartphones we’d make profits. However, I believe my responsibility is not to short term profits, but to Nintendo’s mid and long term competitive strength.”
If your jailbroken don’t worry we have tons of emulators on cydia that allow you to play just about any old school gaming system.
