Nintendo is finally developing smartphone games
Nintendo started experimenting with free-to-play games featuring paid downloadable content (DLC) last year. In addition, it recently licensed its characters to developer GungHo for a 3DS-only version of Puzzles and Dragons. Nintendo will take a ten percent stake in DeNA, which runs a popular Japanese mobile gaming portal and has created notable mobile spinoffs for games like Final Fantasy. It's also responsible for popular standalone mobile games like Blood Brothers. (In exchange, DeNA will buy 1.24 percent of Nintendo.) The companies said that "all Nintendo IP will be eligible for development and exploration" in the new partnership. They'll also create an online membership service à la Steam for smartphones, tablets, PCs and Nintendo systems, including the Wii U and 3DS consoles.

Sounds pretty cool, just hoping it's not loaded with microtransactions somewhat like Clash of Clans is
