While announcing NintendoÔÇÖs latest financial results, president Satoru Iwata shared a brief update regarding the companyÔÇÖs mobile development plans.

Sankei reports that the producer of Mario Kart has been appointed to be in charge of mobile game development. ÔÇ£It should help you understand the level of commitment from NintendoÔÇØ, Iwata said.

A name isnÔÇÖt specifically mentioned, but we assume the article is referring to Hideki Konno, who has been producing Mario Kart games since the DS entry. Konno was also the producer on Mario Kart Wii, Mario Kart 7, and Mario Kart 8.

Sankei also mentions that todayÔÇÖs news shows how Nintendo intends to tackle mobile games with the same developers they use for console games.

Nintendo announced in March that it was teaming up with DeNA to create gaming apps for smartphone devices. The two sides are also working together a new membership service for Nintendo.

Con este movimiento pretenden ayudar a comprender el grado de implicación de Nintendo en los juegos para móviles. Aunque no se ha dado el nombre, se cree que es Hideki Konno, a cargo de la serie desde Mario Kart DS.

Nintendo tiene intención de usar a los mismo desarrolladores que usa para sus juegos de consolas.

Antes de finales de año podremos ver qué sale de todo esto...
