The director of Nintendo Mr. Satoru Iwata announced that the company develops a new one platform hardware, which he calls NX. The company has just acquired a new partnership with Japanese company Dena. Thus, new video games based on Nintendo franchises are expected to be released on mobile platforms.
No transfer (conversion) of existing games for Wii U or 3DS is expected, but new titles with popular characters and worlds, specially created to run on smartphones.
Collaboration will obviously be manufacturing devices under a new brand and a new hardware platform that the two companies named NX. Apart from the name, however, no company has revealed any other details about the project. They just announced that we will learn more next year.
The new platform was reported unofficially, with a headline statement Nintendo.
"Nintendo, together with Dena, will jointly develop a new subscription service, which will include the existing Nintendo 3DS, Wii U, and a new concept NX, for smart devices and PCs,” Iwata said and relayed Eurogamer.
All we know so far about the NX is that it is going to be a special game system, which sounds like the company's previous home or laptop consoles.
In addition, Iwata mentioned that the NX will be the focus of the announced subscription service recently, following the deal with Dena, and is intended to reach a wide range of devices, not just the Wii U and 3DS platforms.
The company's move into mobile gaming is completely understandable and perhaps a bit overdue. But the idea together with the know-how of the company is expected to bring amazing results Results for gaming fans. Wait until 2016.
