Nintendo is developing a smartphone app which will enable users to use their Mii avatars across social media, company president Satoru Iwata has told Nikkei.
“We intend to develop products that will allow customers to identify with Nintendo products and make people pay attention to Nintendo games,” explained Iwata.
“For example, some Nintendo game consoles incorporate Mii, which creates a digital avatar to represent players. It would be fun for players to use their Mii characters as icons on social media. We are currently developing an application that will allow users to do that. The app will be announced around the time our full-year results are released.”
However, Iwata remains unconvinced by the profitability of bringing Nintendo titles to smartphones.
“In the past, I have opposed making smartphone and tablet versions of Nintendo titles,” he said. “Prices for content aimed at smartphones and tablets are falling quickly. I am still wary of the category.”
