Mario and Luigi are coming to a phone near you!

Mario and Luigi are coming to a phone near you! After years of resisting calls to become a part of the smartphone and tablet gaming revolution, Nintendo is joining the party rather than risk getting left behind. All characters from Nintendo’s many famous franchises are eligible for development, and the move will allow them to tap into the large and growing audience of mobile gamers. Fans can expect new and original games to be made, and some speculate that Nintendo may be planning to release “freemium” games that offer users bonus items or unlock levels for a small price tag.
