Gaming company Nintendo has decided to partner with Japanese game developer DeNa (read DNA) to mark its debut into the mobile gaming industry and analysts predict that Nintendo can make up to $25 million a month with this move.
The companies have planned to mutually buy stake in each other's organizations and it has been decided to use the Nintendo IP, which would be developed specially for these smart devices. Moreover, it was also remarked that though games won't be routed directly from Nintendo's consoles but would feature original characters from original Nintendo games.
According to AnimationXpress this collaboration would not only help Nintendo to secure a place in the new medium of gaming but also enable DeNa to strengthen its already strong position in the mobile industry.
Furthermore, in the absence of more details from Nintendo it is expected that the service would first be launched for Android and iOS platforms. The exact plan as to when and if the service would be made available to users of Windows hasn't been commented upon yet.
Moreover, with Nintendo possessing a reputation for capturing consumer attention with its innovative games, it has been remarked by HuffingtonPost that the trend is all set to continue with maybe an interesting amalgamation of Mario with Candy Crush Saga. Moreover, it has been announced by DeNa that this endeavor is all set to generate monthly revenue of twenty five million dollars.
Nintendo is probably the last surviving strand in the field of handheld gaming. It was always felt that that, this deliberate shying away from the new tradition of mobile gaming would help it pioneer the gaming industry. However, the move comes in the backdrop of dwindling sales of Nintendo's home console Wii U.
