Report: Nintendo to make minigames for mobile devices The Japanese business daily Nikkei has reported that Nintendo will create smartphone-based minigames for its more popular titles.
Following a rough quarterly earnings report this month, president Satoru Iwata told investors that the company was actively discussing ways to use mobile platforms like iOS and Android. Some more details from these internal discussions are expected by the end of the week, reads the report.

Besides the minigames, the company will also include playable demos of console titles, as well as exclusive videos and information. All of the content will be free.

Of course, the end game is to have gamers love the content so much that they go and purchase it on a respective Nintendo console.

This article is definitely false. Thursday Nintendo will state what its plans will be on mobile but they are more geared to Nintendo Direct videos, no games what so-ever.
