Along with the launch of Nintendo’s unified account system, Nintendo Accounts, and pre-registration for Miitomo, Nintendo released the first batch of screenshots showing off what players will be able to do in the game. The photos below showcase a player building their Mii, customizing its appearance, and taking shareable photos.
Additionally, a new feature was showcased where your Mii will ask you personal trivia, which will be shared among your social circle.
Nintendo announced that it's 'retreating' from the mobile games market.
They’re being dumb about it, that’s why. They really just need to dump the top ten best sellers on the GBA, upscale the resolution (or not, honestly) and they’d make a lot of money without really having to spend a whole lot themselves.
I’m sure it wouldn’t be impossible to rework some DS games to work as well. Rework Pokemon SS/HG for phones, sell it for 5-10 bucks and call it a day.
Nintendo is a hardware company thru & thru. The hardware game machines are their bread & butter, unlike Sony & MS. Going mobile means losing their control on hardware profit.
Mobile competition is stiff, they cant rely on their rip off tactics and profit on a platform they dont own. Stick to selling outdated hardware for premium.
Nintendo were once adamant that they would never release a mobile game... How long that lasted! Since then, gamers have gotten six games from the company, with Mario Kart Tour coming soon. With how lucrative these mobile games can be, Nintendo is working on consistently releasing new titles on mobile. Here’s a ranking of every app that they’ve released so far.
