Nintendo reportedly not interested in heavy mobile monetization, The Pokemon Company “more willing”
Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Two Nintendo-related mobile games are due out within the next few weeks. Pokemon Masters is up first on August 29, followed by Mario Kart Tour on September 25. DeNA is involved with both, but one could end up generating more revenue than the other.
The Wall Street Journal’s Takashi Mochizuki said in a brief but interesting report today: “Nintendo doesn’t like the idea of players shelling out on in-game purchases and isn’t interested in making lots of money from a single smartphone game.” That’s according to “people familiar with the Japanese company’s strategy”. On the other hand, The Pokemon Company is “more willing to make money through the business.”
We’ll have to wait and see how these two mobile games perform in the weeks and months ahead.
