Companies to develop new game apps featuring Nintendo IP for smart devices and a new multi-device membership service

TOKYO–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Nintendo Co., Ltd. (Tokyo: 7974) and DeNA Co., Ltd. (Tokyo: 2432) today entered into a business and capital alliance to develop and operate new game apps for smart devices and build a new multi-device membership service for consumers worldwide.

Leveraging the strength of Nintendo’s intellectual property (IP) and game development skills in combination with DeNA’s world-class expertise in mobile games, both companies will develop and operate new game apps based on Nintendo’s IP, including its iconic game characters, for smart devices. The alliance is intended to complement Nintendo’s dedicated video game systems business and extend Nintendo’s reach into the vast market of smart device users worldwide. Under the alliance, DeNA will also be able to strengthen its gaming business at a global scale by leveraging Nintendo’s IP. To ensure the quality of game experience that consumers expect from this alliance of Nintendo and DeNA, only new original games optimized for smart device functionality will be created, rather than porting games created specifically for the Wii U home console or the Nintendo 3DS portable system.

Rocket Company, the team behind the Medabots games, has a new 3DS title in the works for Imagineer known as “Escape Adventure: Ultimate Fort”. The entire experience is based on a jailbreak attraction featured in the Fuji-Q Highland amusement park, which has players using their wits and cooperate to make it out.

There’s not much information about the actual 3DS game. However, here’s what we know about the real-life attraction:

– In the attraction, players are put in a giant prison
– Different challenges along the way
– Areas are filled with all kinds of doors and rooms
– Over 100 missions
– Stages have hidden clues and gimmicks that must be solved in order to advance
– The main themes behind the Ultimate Fort attraction are maze, problem-solving, cooperation, and stamina
– Since some of the stages can take a while
The puzzles may be a little tough at times, which is why there’s an option for people to retire and leave the attraction
– The 3DS title might not be as lenient for players

Escape Adventure: Ultimate Fort launches in Japan this summer.
