Nintendo, the leading gaming giant from Japan, has announced a partnership with DeNA to start a new firm called Nintendo Systems Co., Ltd. in April 2023.
A number of Nintendo games, including Super Mario Run, Fire Emblem Heroes, Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp, and Mario Kart Tour, were co-developed by DeNA for iOS and Android, according to The Verge.
According to Nintendo, the collaboration will “strengthen the digitalization” of the company’s already wildly profitable industry.

Nintendo hasn’t put out a new mobile game with DeNA since 2019. The most recent was “Pikmin Bloom,” which Niantic, the company that created Pokemon Go, collaborated with to release on Android and iOS.
Both the companies joined hand back in 2015. As noted by Sensor Tower, the company reached $5.3 million in revenue in the six months following its release.
Although, Nintendo’s financial report revealed that its mobile and IP-related sales decreased by 7.5% year over year.
Even with a decline in hardware and mobile gaming sales, Nintendo will likely have a great holiday season as it strives “to deliver as many consoles as possible to consumers in every corner of the world.”
Additionally, it released Bayonetta 3 last month. According to the rumour, Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet will be available on November 18.
