According to a recent report in the Wall Street Journal, Nintendo is moving away from gaming and towards products aiming to provide more service-related functions. While Nintendo has not come out with exactly what they will be offering, their new business strategy focuses on more casual gamers and even non-gamers. They did, however, reveal that they will be adding features to their popular DS portable that would be useful in spots like amusement parks and train stations (used with a wireless connection) as well as a “television-programming feature for the Japanese market… to check television listings, run searches by keyword and genre, and highlight each family member’s favorite programs.”

Does anyone else get the feeling that maybe Nintendo will become your next apple or microsoft, or sony? Of course, in terms of gadgetry and other devices other than game products.
