Moffitt says Nintendo magic can’t be replicated on a phone
CNET conducted an interview with Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of sales and marketing Scott Moffitt (who’s still around, by the way!), and while there weren’t too many interesting quotes worth posting here, there was one interesting excerpt I found interesting.
Moffitt said the following about Nintendo games on smartphones/tablets:
“We draw the line at creating a playable game on those devices. We have a firm position. When you have the marriage of hardware platform dedicated to gaming and Mario, there’s magic that can’t be replicated on a phone.”
I have to agree with that. Honestly, can you imagine playing something like Zelda on a smartphone? You just wouldn’t get that same kind of experience as you do on a dedicated gaming device.
