Nintendo is expected to announce this week that playable demos and mini-game versions of full console titles will be made available on smartphones, according to Japanese news agency Nikkei. The plan is to introduce iOS and Android users to games that can only be experienced in full on Nintendo devices, according to a summary made available by industry consultant Dr. Serkan Toto. That may well mean mini-game collections or even playable demos designed as tasters. Much more likely -- and far more straightforward to implement -- would be a bespoke video app to distribute the firm's regular previews broadcast under its Nintendo Direct banner.
