DeNA held its Q2 financial results briefing today. With its close partnership with Nintendo, a number of tidbits were shared about mobile plans, and the company clarified its approach to Switch.
First, in general terms, DeNA is reallocating resources to the Nintendo partnership. That would suggest the two sides will continue working together beyond 2017. Additionally, DeNA views the joint development of Nintendo apps as its “highest priority”. The company would like to become profitable outside Japan as well.

Rumor: DeNA handling actual development of Super Mario Run, no NX reveal this week but news next week
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Mobile, News, Switch | 26 Comments
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.

Kimishima: Next mobile app will feature a character “that fans are very familiar with”

Update: Going to leave this here. The third mobile game may feature a top IP as well, according to Dr. Serkan Toto.
By the way, I heard the third app from Nintendo/DeNA in 2016 will also be a game featuring top IP. (These are separate from Pokemon GO.)

Thus far, we’ve only seen one mobile app from Nintendo. Miitomo, a title centered around communication, was unveiled last October with plans for release by March.
Miitomo isn’t the only mobile game Nintendo and DeNA are working on. As for what else we can expect? Nintendo president and CEO Tatsumi Kimishima teased today:
“The second game won’t be another communication app, and we plan to adopt one of our characters that fans are very familiar with.”
DeNA says Miitomo has “that distinct Nintendo feel”, emphasizing entertainment, communication important

Head past the break for a roundup of Moriyasu’s remarks. You can find a bit more of the interview here.
