    I hate it when a stupid phone is considered a game system. I got an Iphone, and I don't even think of it as a game system either even though I have games on it.

    I really really hope these hints and such for iOS and nintendo are not true.

    I have an iPhone and I think im over the romance of it, especially game wise.

    What they should do is develop their own phone and include some old classic Nintendo games, manufacturer a small number just to see if it's a viable option. If they create games for existing mobile OS's then they would have to modify it to work on multiple devices which could take a long time. 
     
    I would love to see a Android phone created by Nintendo :)

    It's not that hard to imagine considering emulators have existed on the iPhone since like 2008.
     
    It would still suck, though,  playing games like Mario with on screen buttons/sticks is shitty.

    Heh, typical Nintendo. I like that at least one company is taking the toy makers approach instead of the electronics conglomerate route.

    I wonder how the experia play's sales are doing.  Probably people looking for a phone just want an iPhone or maybe an Android if they are a nerd.   The best way for Nintendo to monetize seems to be via an app, not by creating their own phone.

    The Game Boy brand bears MUCH less weight than the DS brand at this point.
