Game on for Nintendo as it embraces the smartphoneReuters Nintendo Creative Fellow Shigeru Miyamoto announces a Mario Bros game for the iPhone, as a translator stands nearby. A decade later, the iPhone is still here but Nintendo's Wii is barely hanging on. "If we did this," he said in 2011 about the prospect of making mobile games, "Nintendo would cease to be Nintendo." Although the game was not developed by Nintendo but two affiliated companies, it showed definite potential. That millions of people will pay for a Mario iPhone game is as close to a nailed-on bet as you can get.
