Nintendo continues to move in an overall better direction, at least in my opinion. During the wee hours, Nintendo announced a partnership w/ Japanese mobile game developer DeNA to fulfill many gamers dreams: Mario on a smartphone/tablet.
Nintendo loyalists, you’re dreams are finally coming true.
This would be a part of their new platform along w/ their upcoming console the NX. This would allow all of Nintendo’s IPs (like Mario and such) to be eligible for development for all to enjoy outside of their own consoles. This would also be from the ground up so don’t expect simple ports from the 3DS but new titles on mobile devices.
While the console won’t see the light of day until next year, their new membership service which will offer access to their mobile games will kick off later this fall. No word on what to expect for pricing but how much would you pay for your favorite Mario game on your smartphone or tablet?
