Nintendo set to unveil its first mobile game tomorrow

Nintendo will be unveiling its first video game for smartphones tomorrow, October 29. This news comes a day after Nintendo reveals its Q3 2015 results, indicating that the company needs to find new ways to bring in new business. And mobile games might just be the sweet spot Nintendo is looking for.

“We will talk about details tomorrow,” said Nintendo’s new chief executive, Tatsumi Kimishima. Nintendo has, in the past, been reluctant to jump in the mobile game space, but they’re rushing into it with open arms now. The company earlier announced that it would be launching five mobile titles by 2017, with the first to hit mobile ecosystems this year.

There’s no telling what Nintendo could announce. At this point, Nintendo says they will be entirely new games built from the ground up after expressing its disappointment in ports from one platform to another.

Keep in mind that this doesn’t mean Nintendo is giving up on consoles. On the contrary, the company already has a next-generation system under development, and we might even see some more details on that during tomorrow’s mobile game announcement, Kimishima indicated.

This could be a great new journey for Nintendo if executed correctly. We’re excited to see what they have to unveil tomorrow!
