    Why Nintendo is Making a Mistake by Bailing on Mobile Games

    Join us today at http://www.Patreon.com/KitAndKrysta for early access and tons of exclusive content! *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Hi, today we wanted to explain to you why we think Nintendo is making a big mistake with their current mobile game strategy (if there even is a strategy). We're going to rewind all the way back to when Satoru Iwata first got Nintendo games on mobile 10 years ago! We were at Nintendo when it happened and worked on mobile games when they launched so we have some thoughts on the state of mobile games now. Hope you enjoy the video!
