Nintendo Should Adopt Third Party/Mobile Gaming, Says Peter Molyneux

LONDON, Uk. June 18 - Nintendo can be a gateway to bring non-gamers into the gaming space, Molyneux told GamesIndustry in an interview, but the 22Cans founder believes the company's "hardware is starting to get in the way of that".
Commending Nintendo's mainstay characters Donkey Kong and Mario as "the birth of gamers", Molyneux sees the Wii U as being "very chunky" and a product that "doesn't really feel like it's cutting edge". Nintendo should go third party, make software for mobile devices, noting that the studios that are creating gamers aren't Sony and Microsoft or the big publishers, but companies like Supercell and Rovio.
Molyneux also admits that Nintendo is "more intelligent" than he is, "they've probably got a plan, and you should never underestimate Nintendo. We'll probably be sitting here in a couple years saying, 'Oh that's what they were doing'."
