At Nintendo they don't seem willing to make the leap to mobile platforms And it is that, despite the requests of millions of players and followers of their consoles and franchises, they still do not see clearly the potential of carrying titles like Mario Bros., Zelda or Pokémon to smartphones However, for a few months the ideas of this company seem to open up a little more to this already established market and growing.Thus, now the development of our own application is confirmed to enjoy the Mii universe on mobile phones.
It has been the Nintendo president, Satoru Iwata, who has been in charge of confirming it. Of course, for the moment without many details about it, and letting it be understood that it will be an application well differentiated from games, so users will have to keep waiting to enjoy those titles on mobile. The application will focus specifically on the characters Mii, those avatars or representations of the player that he uses in the Nintendo universe as well as in his games to represent himself or any figure he has decided to create with the customization options offered by the company.
In this way, it is only known that the application will make it possible to have the Mii of the player on the mobile, and take advantage of their own creations to share images and emoticons with their faces through social networks Or at least that is what emerges from the words of Iwata However, little else is known about an application that could have already begun its development but would wait for late this year to be officially announced and presented.
Thus, the steps of Nintendo towards this platform seem to continue to be slow and unsteady. Despite the legion of gamers who consume content on their smartphones and tablets , Nintendo keep dragging your feet. Of course, it seems to be testing the ground. And it is that, during the past year, it has already published a couple of games and applications about the Pokémon universe. Although they were nothing more than adaptations or interactive experiences without really being new games, at least it represents a first contact with this platform.
And the smartphones and tablets are already part active in the universe of video games Either because of the titles that some developers propose for these platforms , or as support for the services that large companies such as Sony and Microsoft offer through of your game consoles: Remote play, control, service management, companion applications”¦ Issues that do not seem to attract the attention of Nintendo, which has never proposed an application to bring the experience of its games to mobile phones, or to enjoy its contents.
We will have to wait a few more months to discover the true possibilities of the Mii app that Nintendo is developing, hoping it will be more than just a simple tool to share photos of the user's Mii through Facebook, Twitter or Instagram
