Nintendo and mobile games company DeNA have officially launched their joint venture company called Nintendo Systems, which was first announced in November 2022. The new website for Nintendo Systems has been unveiled, revealing that the company aims to create a system that makes it easy to deliver Nintendo entertainment to consumers.
Led by a team of engineers from both Nintendo and DeNA, the companies hope to reinforce Nintendo's business and "create value-added services," according to Nintendo's Japanese website. The partnership between Nintendo and DeNA has been ongoing for eight years, dating back to 2015. They have previously worked together on various titles including Super Mario Run, Mario Kart Tour, Pokémon Masters, and Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp.
In a message posted on the new Nintendo Systems website, the companies wrote that "the technology surrounding the Internet is changing at a dizzying pace day by day and is becoming more complex. Under these circumstances, Nintendo Systems will leverage the relationship of trust between Nintendo and DeNA, which has been cultivated through a partnership of more than seven years, and use Nintendo's originality and DeNA's knowledge of technology as the driving force to create new innovations for the world."
However, there is no information yet on what specific projects the two companies are currently working on together. No games or software have been announced at this time.
Nintendo's Tetsuya Sasaki, who joined the company as a software engineer for the Entertainment Analysis & Development Division in 1995, is the president of Nintendo Systems. He is credited for his work on titles like The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, Animal Crossing: Wild World, Wii Sports, and Mario Kart DS.
It remains to be seen what innovations and products will come out of this new joint venture, but with the track record of Nintendo and DeNA working together, it's sure to be exciting for fans of Nintendo entertainment.
