It seems like a long time ago Nintendo learned that the future of casual games is mobile. The bad thing is that it is being asked, but they have already launched Miitomo and have promised that they will launch more games for iOS and Android. Of course, not before making it clear that titles such as Mario or Zelda would not be carried to the different application stores, perhaps the ones we would most like to have on our smartphone.
He was commenting on what is being done to beg because, at the moment, they have only released one game and the next thing they are talking about is launching physical controllers, that is, game controllers compatible with phones and tablets. This was recognized by Shinya Takahashi, the general manager of plans and entertainment of the Japanese company, at the annual meeting with shareholders.
Nintendo will create controllers for mobile video games
Takahashi said Nintendo is planning to invest in physical controllers for smartphones and tablets, knowing that there are many already available, because releasing their own would allow them to develop specifically for your own controllers.
Physical controllers for smart device applications are already available on the market and we may need to develop something ourselves as well. I think the Nintendo way of thinking is to look at whether action games are not really impossible (without a physical controller for smart device applications) to create and how we can make that happen to create that game.
On the other hand, and this seems more interesting to me, Nintendo president Tatsumi Kimishima said that the company will continue to invest software related to iOS games. They already confirmed in March that they would launch 5 games, one of them a Miitomo that seems to attract less and less users. Two other of the five promised games are also known: Animal Crossing and Fire Emblem. Nothing is known about the other two yet.
It seems that Nintendo will bet heavily on games for mobile devices, but personally it seems to me that they are taking a long time and not going in the right direction. With controllers like the Nimbus available, what would you release that would enhance the gaming experience? Right now the only thing I can think of is that your remote included a touch surface, but all the smartphones I know have a touch screen. We'll see if they surprise us, for better or for worse.
