Rumor: Nintendo offers conversion tools to bring smartphone games to Wii U
Posted on May 6, 2013 by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Podcast Stories, Rumors, Wii U
A new report from the Japan Times claims that Nintendo is now offering developers “professional-use conversion software” that allows smartphone and tablet games to be more easily made for Wii U. Nintendo’s ultimate goal is to increase hardware sales and offer a greater array of titles.
Given Nintendo’s new approach to smaller developers, this would hardly be surprising. The company just recently began supporting Unity on Wii U and launched the “Nintendo Web Framework”, enabling application development on the Wii U through HTML5, JavaScript, and CSS.
