Several months after making the announcement, Nintendo and Japanese mobile game developer DeNA have finally joined forces to form Nintendo Systems. After an unsuccessful first attempt at entering the mobile gaming market, Nintendo, being a very popular video game developer and console manufacturer, now has another chance to tap into the incredible potential of mobile gaming.
In November 2022, Nintendo announced its joint venture with DeNA with the objective of providing the best entertainment services possible to consumers and creating brand new value-added services. On April 3, 2023, Nintendo Systems finally launched its official website, although there's very limited information about the deal and what the company will be bringing to the market in the future.
Nintendo and DeNA have been in partnership for about eight years (since 2015) and have worked together on various titles such as Mario Kart Tour, Super Mario Run, Pokemon Masters, Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp, and a few others. Hence, Nintendo Systems could most likely be behind the development and publishing of the Japanese company's upcoming mobile games.
In the past, Nintendo has made attempts at entering the mobile gaming segment, which kicked off with the release of games such as Dragalia Lost and Fire Emblem Heroes. Unfortunately, the company had to back out due to not being able to meet expectations of commercial success.
Regarding their latest deal, both companies made the following statement in a press conference:
Based on the registration details, it was revealed that Nintendo contributed 80% of the registered capital, amounting to 5 billion Yen, while DeNA contributed the remaining 20% in November to initiate the deal that would form Nintendo Systems.
