Nintendo has announced the formation of a new subsidiary company with DeNA, the company behind many of its mobile games.
However, Nintendo’s announcement of the joint venture notes that it will be focused not just on apps for smart devices, but “the joint development and operation of membership services for various devices.”
“Based on the expertise accumulated over the seven plus years and the experience of co-developing multiple services based on Nintendo Account, Nintendo and DeNA will advance their partnership and establish a joint venture company,” Tuesday’s announcement reads. “With the objective to strengthen the digitalization of Nintendo’s business, the joint venture company will research and develop, as well as create value-added services to further reinforce Nintendo’s relationship with consumers.”
Despite a number of high-profile releases in the mobile space, revenue from smartphone games has failed to meet expectations. The company reported on Tuesday that, for the first six months of its current fiscal year, mobile-related income totalled 23.5 billion yen , or just 3.5% of its overall sales.
