Colin and Chris talk about the week’s big handheld news.
Niantic announced that the enchanted passageway to Diagon alley will lose its powers on January 31. However, there is still some time before that happens and fans can still enjoy the upcoming events.
Dr. Mario World, one of Nintendo's online mobile games, is officially shutting down on November 1st of this year, just over two years since its release.
The only nintendo mobile game that is worth anything is Pokemon Go. The rest should just shut down.
Nintendo announced that it's 'retreating' from the mobile games market.
They’re being dumb about it, that’s why. They really just need to dump the top ten best sellers on the GBA, upscale the resolution (or not, honestly) and they’d make a lot of money without really having to spend a whole lot themselves.
I’m sure it wouldn’t be impossible to rework some DS games to work as well. Rework Pokemon SS/HG for phones, sell it for 5-10 bucks and call it a day.
5-10 bucks?? are you INSANE?? Nintendo will sell it at the very least, for 40 bucks.
knowing Nintendo.
So why did they sell Super Mario Run for $10 on mobile? Or the Pokemon Crystal, Gold, and Silver which cost $10 individually on the 3DS?
Aren't they releasing a Pokemon MOBA in just a bit. Does this mean Nintendo is not making the games, but allowing 3rd parties to use their IP's to make mobile games
Pokemon is a separate company, only partly owned by Nintendo.
And are you referring to Pokemon Quest? That's already out, I've tried it and it's even more lame than Pokemon Go, though I expect it will be a hit with the 6 year olds as it requires no skill at all, even less than Pokemon Go, and that's a pretty low bar.

Thank you, Pokemon Unite is what I was talking about they just had a Nintendo Direct about it, and it is coming to Switch and Mobile.

Nintendo is a hardware company thru & thru. The hardware game machines are their bread & butter, unlike Sony & MS. Going mobile means losing their control on hardware profit.
Mobile competition is stiff, they cant rely on their rip off tactics and profit on a platform they dont own. Stick to selling outdated hardware for premium.
