Nintendo games officially landed on ipad: once insisted on never doing a hand tour

Sina Science and technology news Beijing time August 19 morning, Nintendo's Pokémon Company will launch Nintendo's first game in the Apple App Store later this year. The ipad game will be based on Nintendo's previous game Pocket cards (Pokémon Trading card Game).

Pokémon Company is the developer of "Pokemon" series games. "Pokemon" series was born nearly 20 years ago, and the company has launched 47 Pokemon games in the past 18 years. This April, the latest edition of the "Pokemon y" sold 12 million copies.

Therefore, in all Nintendo's games, "Pokemon" games first entered the App Store is very natural. For Nintendo, the move was significant because the company had previously refused to develop games for other mobile platforms. However, Nintendo has been losing money for 3 consecutive years, the first time since 1981.

It is also reasonable to launch a card game on a mobile platform. Earlier this year, as Blizzard launched a card game on the mobile platform, "The Legend of the Furnace Stone," attracted many players attention. And based on "Star Wars" and other well-known brands of card games have also received a good download and revenue.

As a result, Nintendo has two reasons to do so: the Pokemon series has a lot of loyal players, while other gaming companies have shown that card games can do a good job on the ipad platform.

In fact, the player can now download the PC and Mac version of the game. The goal of Nintendo's move is clear: to remind players that the game is still there. Putting the game on the mobile side can also bring more players, but that's not what many fans expect from the Nintendo experience. Nintendo's current development effort is still focused on the Wii U platform.

If Nintendo has changed its attitude towards the App Store, it needs to act quickly, industry insiders say. The "Pokemon" game, "Mini Monster", which was inspired by the App Store apps list last week, is still the top 50 on iphone and ipad downloads.
