Nintendo reportedly offering Wii U game conversion software to smartphone app devs

While we knew Nintendo was happy to hook-up its newest consoles to your smartphone, we thought that was only going to extend to social networking and shopping. Nope, it looks like the company is planning to go a step further, with a report from Japan Times suggesting that the games maker is offering high-level conversion software to app developers "so they can produce smartphone games that can be played on Wii U." A weak existing games library has been blamed for Nintendo's recent financial woes and it's hoping that the addition of some popular titles will offer enough of a reason to invest in a dedicated games machine. We just hope it's able to glean some fresh gaming gems -- the first Angry Birds title launched in 2009.
