Nintendo released its first mobile app, nothing to do with Mario, no skin

It is clear that Nintendo, the traditional game giant, has lost its way in the wave of mobile internet. Until now, we have not seen a genuine, "Nintendo" tag on the iOS or Android platform. Now that Nintendo has finally launched its first app on the Android platform, it's disappointing that the app doesn't have a dime relationship with the game.

The new app, launched by Nintendo and the Japanese communications operator DoCoMo, can bind 3DS to an Android device, then let 3DS connect to the network using Android devices, and then no more. And the app only supports a small number of new handsets released by DoCoMo, including Samsung Galaxy S5 and Sony Xperia Z2, with 7 of them.

At present, want to play on the mobile phone "Mario Car" seems to have to wait. The app is more likely to be a marketing activity that works with carriers than it is on the mobile device side.

However, Nintendo really has to speed up, after all, Nintendo's target user base has always been casual gamers, and with iOS and Android crazy growth of mobile gaming has embezzled a large number of the original Nintendo market. Moreover, the continued presence of High-quality hand-made tours like the Monument Valley makes little sense for non-core players to stay on Nintendo's devices. However, Nintendo has always been able to revive, let us wait and see.
