The company are planning to release a total of five smartphone games by March 2017, with fans anticipating that the later titles will include more familiar Nintendo brands, such as a mobile version ofSuper Mario.
Miitomo uses Miis to communicate with other users, and it will work with your new Nintendo Account. And people will want to buy these too, because their Mii avatars they will go out into the game world and communicate with other Miis on their own even when the player isn't logged into the game. Though the game was expected to be released before the end of the year, Nintendo today announced that Miitomo was scheduled for global release in March 2016.
The WSJ also noted that Nintendo's mobile gaming partner DeNA "will focus on operation of the games", and that the company is "saving its most famous character, Mario the plumber, and others for a later date".
According to the details shared by Nintendo at the investor briefing, the Miitomo' smartphone game will give gamers the ability to create avatars to facilitate social interactions with one another. Nintendo stock plummeted almost 10 percent on the Tokyo Stock Exchange in the minutes following the announcement of a delayed entry into the mobile market, before recovering slightly as of press time. Yet, it's weird that its first game isn't an instantly recognizable brand that could quickly make Nintendo tons of money and have instant recognition, like Donkey Kong or The Legend of Zelda. Before his death this summer, previous Nintendo president Satoru Iwata said that the company doesn't intend to port existing games onto mobile platforms for fear of an inferior play experience.
Kimishima also said that Nintendo's new online customer account system would be called Nintendo Account, and transfer data between mobile and home games. Another mobile game was Pokemon Shuffle, which was a free to play 3DS game, it is a puzzle game with micro-transactions and will feature weekly events.
