Analyst and Kantan Games CEO Dr. Serkan Toto shared some interesting tweets about Super Mario Run as well as the reveal of NX a few minutes ago.

Regarding Super Mario Run, DeNA is handling actual development – not Nintendo. DeNA is primarily in charge of the engineering and creation. However, the company isn’t designing or directing it. Nintendo watches over QA and is essentially the creative team. Shigeru Miyamoto is personally overseeing Super Mario Run’s progress as we know. To clarify further, Super Mario Run is being designed and directed by Nintendo in Kyoto while DeNA takes care of engineering in Tokyo.

Toto has also heard that the NX will not be revealed this week, despite some rumors indicating otherwise. While that may (or may not) be true, it also seems that Nintendo will talk about its platform as part of its Q2 earnings next Wednesday – which certainly makes sense. Toto is more confidence in his source about Super Mario Run than NX.

Pokemon GO now features some new functionality with the Pokemon GO Plus device. Those who search for Pokemon are now able to choose from different notification modes.

Scanning for both PokeStops or Pokemon simultaneously is the default setting as always if you want to try to catch as many Pokemon and collect as many PokeBalls as you can. But as Niantic points out, you can also individually enable/disable each of these notifications based on your preference. Also, when walking with a Buddy Pokemon, you can choose not to receive notifications – instead by taking note of the distance of your walks. And last but not least, Pokemon GO Plus will remain paired with the main app if you choose to use it while interacting with Pokemon or Gyms.

Pokemon GO players have come across a new change within the mobile app. It seems that, as of a couple of days ago, the “Sightings” nearby list turns off, and Pokemon do not spawn when going above a certain high speed.

Forbes asked Niantic for a comment about the situation, but no response has been provided thus far. It’s currently unclear if this is a bug or an intended change. However, we do know that Niantic made it so Pokemon GO warns players about using the app while driving with an update released a few months ago.

Nintendo appeared at Apple’s conference in September to announce Super Mario Run. The new mobile game will debut first on iOS in December.

When the game was revealed, Apple put some special functionality on iTunes. Users have been able to receive a notification when Super Mario Run is made available. According to Apple CEO Tim Cook, 20 million users have done this so far.

We also have a couple of other random notes from Cook’s visit to Nintendo. The company said that he stopped by for an hour, and also met with president Tatsumi Kimishima.

Nintendo and Apple are pretty close now, especially given that Super Mario Running is debuting on iOS first. Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO, actually stopped by the big N’s headquarters today to give the mobile game a look. Shigeru Miyamoto and Takashi Tezuka – two of Nintendo’s biggest developers – were present.

Cook shared the photo on Twitter a short while ago:

Who would have thought we’d be seeing a photo like this a few years ago?
