Mario for iPhone and other popular Nintendo games are to be launched on Apple's iOS platform this year, the Japanese finally taking the decision to expand their portfolio of applications on competing platforms as well. The decision to launch our own games on various platforms for mobile terminals is based on a partnership between Nintendo and another game producer, so that soon we will finally have Mario on our terminals.
Nintendo intends create a special subscription for those who will buy his games, so that they are also available on Nintendo DS consoles, but for now there are no details on how everything could work in iOS. Although it will launch its own games for mobile terminals, those from Nintendo will continue to develop the consoles we already know, so we will see a Nintendo company that risks the sales of its own products to generate income from other platforms.
Nintendo Co. dropped its long-standing aversion to mobile gaming, saying Tuesday that it would begin developing games for smartphones based on characters such as Mario the plumber.
Nintendo games enjoyed a serious popularity in the 90s, and at the moment there are many people who would buy Mario for iPhone and iPad if it were available in the App Store. Unfortunately, it is not known how long it will take from the moment of this announcement until the games will be officially available in the App Store, but it probably won't take much time.
