Nintendo’s partnership with DeNA was first announced in March. At the time, Nintendo said development would be handled “mainly by Nintendo,” while DeNA would be “primarily responsible for the service-oriented operations.” The partnership promises five new titles by March 2017, though some analysts predict the “bigger” franchises won’t be revealed until next year.
Miitomo isn’t the first Nintendo-connected title to appear on mobile, as separate from the DeNA partnership, The Pokemon Company revealed Pokemon Goearlier this year, in addition to releasing Pokemon Shuffle for iOS and Android, and Pokemon Trading Card Game Online for iPad.
