Nintendo's continued focus on mobile applications is no surprise, as the company looks to expand its reach beyond dedicated gaming platforms. In a recent Q&A session following its financial earnings report, Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa emphasized the importance of mobile in the company's overall strategy.
AI-Driven Mobile Gaming: A Key Component
Furukawa highlighted the ongoing development of new game applications for mobile devices, emphasizing their significance in increasing touchpoints beyond traditional gaming experiences. As the company transitions to its next-generation console, the Nintendo Switch 2, it remains crucial to leverage smart devices and continue conducting research and implementing initiatives.
Global Reach and Engagement
Mobile apps have enabled Nintendo to tap into previously inaccessible markets, allowing the company to reach new audiences worldwide. This global expansion has also facilitated connections between fans and beloved Nintendo characters and intellectual properties (IP). As Furukawa noted, cumulative downloads of Nintendo mobile apps have exceeded 900 million, with unique users for released apps reaching a staggering total.
