Super Mario Run wasn’t the only Nintendo-related announcement made at Apple’s conference today. Niantic also stopped by to reveal that Pokemon GO is heading to Apple Watch.
Here’s what we know thus far:
– This version of the game is based on activity goals set by the player
– During a walk, it registers the distance and calories burned
– Players can also collect items, visit PokeStops and attempt to catch eggs as they travel along
– This is shown on the watch’s screen with a simple user interface
– A summary screen at the end of the walk will detail all of the items collected during the walk
– Also shows how much you exercised
John Hanke, CEO of Niantic, also said that Pokemon GO has been downloaded over 500 million times worldwide. Players walked over 4.6 billion kilometers.
