Nintendo could bring Game Boy games to mobile phones
The company's policies Nintendo have been heavily criticized by users and the media in recent times. And it is that, after losing a good sector of the players, the Japanese seemed to continue in their thirteen as long as not developing video games for the mobile platform, always focusing on their handheld video consoles, NintendoDS and desktop, the Wii U. Something that, however , could be about to change according to the latest rumors.
And it is that a new patent signed by Nintendo has been discovered that would be focused on carrying the games from his mythical Game Boy console directly to mobile phones Something he would do through emulation A technique that involves imitating with a program or application how this portable game console works on a device that has little to nothing to do with it. In this way, Nintendo could create an official application in order to emulate the games of Game Boyto recall classics and enjoy mobile games like Pokémon, Mario Bros., Rising Sun, Zelda and a long list of others
Apparently, the registered patent would be an improvement of an existing one, which could demonstrate the Nintendo's renewed interest in mobile phonesA suggestion that the general public has been making to the company for some time after the strength it has lost in recent years. And it is that in Nintendo they continue betting on their great and classic titles to sell video consoles and copies, but it seems an obsolete philosophy and that does not finish helping them out of the rut , despite the success of games like the latest Mario Kart or Smash Bros
Another curious point of the patent updated by Nintendo is another of the possible practical applications it would have. Thus, this company's emulation of games has been registered on seatback monitors such as those found on airplanes. An idea to spend some time entertaining during a trip and that may well be just that, an idea, since we must not forget that not all patents are carried out.
The concept of emulation is not new either.The first handheld game consoles from Nintendo (Game Boy, Game Boy Pocket, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advanced and NintendoDS) have already been emulated by independent developers who have Responsible for creating programs and applications for both computers and mobile phones. And it is that there have always been those who have wanted to take the Nintendo games with them when they did not have their consoles or money for them. Of course, it is a practice that margins the illegal when using copies of video games, and that is usually not supported by Google nor by Apple, who usually withdraw (especially this second one) the applications that emulate the Game Boy of your store.
In any case, it could be a renewed intention on the part of Nintendo to finally launch on the platform mobile and make your own cut by bringing the games officially to the app storesSomething that only time will tell.
