Nintendo preparing for Mobile Gaming

Filed under Consoles


After years of watching the mobile gaming sector grow, gaming giants Nintendo have finally decided to get involved with mobile gaming, announcing that their first mobile game will be released later this year.

“Regarding the individual video game titles, when it will be launched, we will be making the announcement when each of those games are ready. At least, however, we believe that there is no means of collaboration if we can’t launch anything, at least once, or some sort of output within this year.”

It was inevitable that this was going to happen sooner or later. There’s so much revenue to be made, but it does take the ‘traditional’ aspect of the company away. Seems a bit weird imagining Mario on your iPhone (legally), but it was bound to happen sooner or later. Unfortunately for massive fans, the first Nintendo mobile game won't be a Mario one. It's apparently a messenger service, which makes absolutely no sense. Then again, a lot of what Nintendo does never makes sense at first!
