Nintendo has Smartphone App in the Works

In a recent interview with Nikkei, Nintendo President Satoru Iwata has mentioned that a Mii app is on the works.

More specifically, in a question regarding his plans about smartphone games market, and despite his opposition to expanding Nintendo games to smartphones and tablets, he mentioned that they want "to develop products that will allow customers to identify with Nintendo products and make people pay attention to Nintendo games".

In addition, he added that "It would be fun for players to use their Mii characters as icons on social media. We are currently developing an application that will allow users to do that. The app will be announced around the time our full-year results are released".

It is a big step considering Nintendo’s reluctance to join the smartphone games world, and hopefully this Mii app will be the start of more amazing news to come.
