Nintendo launches mysterious new company with a clear purpose in mind

Together with the company DeNA, Nintendo has founded a new company: Nintendo Systems. Details on the new joint venture are currently still scarce – but it is already known which tasks the group should devote itself to.

Nintendo joins forces with DeNA and founds Nintendo Systems

As early as 2022, Nintendo and DeNA officially announced that they would found a new company together. Now the starting shot has been fired. The company went into operation on April 3, 2023 under the name Nintendo Systems – that is the Nintendo Systems official website refer to.

There you will also find some other interesting information. Thanks to the information, we know that Nintendo owns 80 percent of the company, DeNA owns the other 20 percent. Good to know: Nintendo also holds shares in DeNA itself – a whopping 15 percent.

But more importantly, what is the purpose of Nintendo Systems? There are currently two bullet points on the website:

• Development and operation of systems related to the digital part of Nintendo’s business
• Planning, development and operation of new services

Nintendo Systems probably not working on new Nintendo system

Since DeNA is best known for its Nintendo mobile games such as Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp, Mario Kart Tour or Super Mario Run, it is reasonable to assume that Nintendo Systems will also focus primarily on the mobile sector. Although Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto already in a Variety interview made it clear that smartphone games are no longer the focus, at least for the Mario brand.

However, it is also possible that the new company will generally deal with the expansion of Nintendo’s online offerings on all platforms.

Most likely, Nintendo Systems will not work on a new console – even if the name suggests such a conclusion. More detailed information on the work of the brand new company will likely be made available in the coming months. We will keep you up to date.
