Nintendo US Chief Reggie Fils-Aime says that cheap disposable smartphone games are one of the biggest problems for Nintendo today.

Mobile games such as Angry Birds have been a phenomenon with those who have little time and money to spend on gaming.

Speaking to Gametrailers, Mr Fils-Aime was questioned whether 3DS games provide good value compared to the inexpensive App Store downloads.

He said: "I actually think that one of the biggest risks today in our industry are these inexpensive games that are candidly disposable from a consumer standpoint".

Reggie highlighted Angry Birds as a diamond in the rough, creating unrealistic expectations from consumers when it comes to the price of a game.

"Angry Birds is a great piece of experience but that is one compared to thousands of other pieces of content that for one or two dollars I think actually create a mentality for the consumer that a piece of gaming content should only be two dollars.

"I actually think some of those games are overpriced at one or two dollars but that's a whole different story".

3DS titles are currently expected to retail for around �34.99 on the High Street, with online retailers offering them for around �5 less.
