Agro Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 http://blogs.wsj.com/japanrealtime/2015/10/29/nintendo-unveils-first-smartphone-game-live-blog/ Here is Kimishima talking since you've probably never heard him before. TL;DR Version of Thread: Nintendo has new account system that uses the cloud across Ninty hardware, PCs and smart devices. Mobile games coming out starting next march, first is Miitomo, which i guess is mobile Tomodachi Life?You probably don't really care about everything else. Important things: - Nintendo’s new membership service will be called “Nintendo Account” — it will connect hardware users, as well as PC and smart device users, Mr. Kimishima says. - Nintendo will use a cloud-based data service to transfer game data between mobile games and console games. - Launch date of Nintendo’s smartphone games has been delayed. Launch will be March 2016, not year-end. On the reason for the delay of the smartphone app, Mr. Kimishima says, is the need for more lead time to fully promote and explain Miitomo. The company is busy promoting other titles in the pipeline right now, he says. It will start promoting Miitomo after the year-end holiday season. Says this will have little impact on earnings. - Nintendo eyes global launch, depending on the game. Senior Managing Director Shigeru Miyamoto says DeNA will help operate the smartphone games, while Nintendo will focus on ways to guide users to its hardware. Curious about how the DeNA and Nintendo partnership is going. Senior Managing Director Shigeru Miyamoto says DeNA will focus on operation of the games. Which suggests game design is all Nintendo. Unlike what everyone was saying, no mobile game announced. Huh. - The new smartphone game will be “Miitomo”. It will be free to play, with attractive add-ons that people can pay for, Mr. Kimishima says. Other smartphone games will be pay-to-download, he says. - Looks like Miis go ahead and communicate with other Miis without your knowledge. This will help people who are hesitant to talk about themselves to communicate with others, and reveal a side of your friends you never knew, Mr. Kimishima says. - Miitomo is the first of five smartphone apps that Nintendo plans to release by March 2017. - The five smartphone apps won’t soon comprise half of sales, Mr. Kimishima says. As previously stated, Nintendo’s goal is to use smart devices to increase the value of its IP, which will help sales of both software and hardware, he says. In Progress. Updating.
