Nintendo's Miyamoto Confirms Mario Games Will Move Away From Mobile

Shigeru Miyamoto, the legendary video game designer and Nintendo fellow, has stated that mobile apps will not be the primary path of future Mario games. Despite two moderately successful iOS games, Nintendo is pulling Mario away from the mobile market. Miyamoto explained that Nintendo's core strategy is a hardware and software integrated gaming experience, and the intuitiveness of the control is a part of the gaming experience. Nintendo fans are eagerly waiting for the next mainline Super Mario game, but Miyamoto teased to stay tuned for future Nintendo Directs.
