Nintendo ridiculed social games: no future

Nintendo’s North American President Reggie once again made an astonishing statement when he accepted the technology website AllThingsD.com. He is looking forward to the future of the game industry and asserts that social games such as Facebook eat up the old books and have no future.

Since the beginning of the interview, Reggie has been able to continue without any bragging opportunities and talk about the great successes of the Wii and 3ds. Let's allow us to sum up the first half of the dull content in this sentence, that is, the two games. The big harvest of the machines and their games this year. The more interesting interviews were made by Reggie in the second half when talking about Zynga (a social gaming company) and social games.

For Reggie, the social game, said: "... when I look at the gaming experience of social games, there are indeed many types of entertainment value. Some are strong and some are not, but in the final analysis, will they evolve? It's the same game. There's no future for eating old books."

Interviewers questioned this statement: “The Mario Kart 7 has just been launched. Do you say that eating old remarks is unfair to social games?”

Reggie, a person you can't get him out of the game, does not answer this question and continues to talk about how Nintendo will continue to innovate and evolve games while social games cannot.

When talking about the game's free mode, Reggie emphasized that Nintendo is not interested in free, but will explore a new monetization model in this new form.
