TOKYO: Nintendo reveals that it’ll make mobile apps and partner with DeNA that is huge, the company also discloses it is working on a new gaming platform. In a presentation, chief executive officer Satoru Iwata didn’t say much about what this new gaming console really is.
“As proof that Nintendo maintains strong enthusiasm for the dedicated game system business, let me confirm that Nintendo is currently developing a dedicated game platform with a brand-new concept under the development codename ‘NX,’ said Iwata. “It is too early to elaborate on the details of this project, but we hope to share more information with you next year.”
Nintendo has never done easy. With its history of proprietary game formats, new control types, strange hybrids, and more, it’s still hard to swallow that it will be fine with releasing mobile games with a boring, standard touchscreen interface.
