Nintendo denies smartphone rumor, leaves wiggle room

Selling Nintendo consoles is key to company business. "There are no plans to offer mini-games on smartphone devices," clarifies the Japanese console giant, but doesn't rule out demos or video apps. Japanese newspaper Nikkei had reported on January 28 that Nintendo was looking to put demos and mini-games on smartphones as a way of whetting players' appetites for fuller gaming experiences on consoles. That snippet sneaked out ahead of the company's quarterly earnings release on the 29th, and Nintendo took the opportunity to release a statement denying Nikkei's news. "Nikkei's article contains information previously stated by Mr. Iwata during past press conferences, including statements which relate to Nintendo's willingness to make use of smart devices to promote our products," read the update.
