What do you all think if Nintendo designed a phone

I think it would be cool, and also kinda weird at the same time. I mean, having a phone, and having it play Nintendo games would be awsome, but there has already been a system like this called the N-Gage. The N-Gage was not that popular, and it didn't have to many games. On the first model you actually had to take out the battery to insert a game. I mean how cool would you be with a Nintendo phone? That would be pretty cool, but also it could flop like the N-Gage (but im sure it would be more popular because its Nintendo of course :D)
 
THIS IS REAL

If that is what a Nintendo phone would look like I think I might die >< It looks WAY to big... but maybe its just the picture.

That would be a really cool idea. You know how any phone when you first buy it comes with ringtones and wallpapers? Well they would all be nintendo ringtones and nintendo wallpapers! I'm sure that would be awesome :D! Also, the phone would have classic nintendo video games that come with it (super mario world probably)! I think that would be cool if the phone were to look something like that. I really like the picture that was posted above. What's wrong with it? Looks all....Futuristic and chic C:

I honestly see no harm in it, but I do like the Wii design more than I like the DS Lite design. I doubt the DS Lite design is actually real, because that article has been released since 2007, and there has never been a single mention of it in recent times.

After all, over the years Nintendo has sold more than just games. They even have sold their own line of glasses, and as the company expands over time - they will, more than likely, explore other areas of the business world. That could include selling cellular devices. They are yet to fail us, so I highly doubt that marketing and selling cell phones under their name would be any less than beneficial to their company.

Funny idea, I suppose it would depend on the service capabilities, price, design and anthem reach. Or mostly in other people reviews about it once it comes out. I'd love to have a LoZ themed phone. =3

I can see cool TP designed ones already... with Midna/Link-WolfLink/Zelda/Ganondorf etc....

A Nintendo phone? If they pulled it off just right and didn't you know, screw it up, it might be good.

But I think they should stick to game, that's what they're good at.

Nintendo's a video game company. Not a general electronic company. SONY could make a cell phone, and so could Microsoft. Do you know why? They're not pure video game companies. If Nintendo made a phone, it would suck. Wasn't the DSi good enough? Nintendo can't make a phone because they have stuck with video games, and nothing else. Keep it that way.
