New Delhi: Super Mario creator Nintendo has finally decided to develop new games for mobile devices. In partnership with developer DeNa, which runs a popular Japanese mobile gaming portal and has created notable mobile spinoffs for games like Final Fantasy, Ninetendo will be only creating new original games for smartphones.
The companies emphasised that the games will be optimised for smart device functionality, rather than porting games created specifically for the Wii U home console or the Nintendo 3DS portable system.
A report report in Engadget noted that the company started experimenting with free-to-play games featuring paid downloadable content (DLC) last year. Nintendo will take a ten per cent stake in DeNA, in exchange DeNa will buy 1.24 per cent of Ninetendo.
They will also create an online membership service à la Steam for smartphones, tablets, PCs and Nintendo systems, including the Wii U and 3DS consoles.
