All of Nintendo’s upcoming mobile games will be free-to-play

Nintendo likes to take half-steps forward, where it progresses slightly but makes some silly mistake that undermine the whole thing, but fortunately, it looks like its foray into mobile gaming won’t be one of those instances. We already know that the company will be releasing five mobile games between now and April 2017, in partnership with DeNA, but how it intended to monetize those games was unknown until today. During an earnings call earlier today, Nintendo clarified that all of its upcoming mobile games will be free-to-play. Now all we need to worry about is whether the microtransactions that support the games will be sensible or not.
