Nintendo plans five mobile games before 2017, Mario Kart producer in charge

Alongside all the fun of the financial reports from yesterday, Nintendo has revealed some more details about their mobile gaming plans. Speaking at the investor meeting today Satoru Iwata has stated that the game is working on just 5 mobile games to be released before 2017, with one due out this year.

While this seems like a small number, Iwata says its not without some thought. They plan to take their time with each game and make sure each game ‘is a hit’. To that end it’s also been revealed that Hideki Konno, the Mario Kart series producer is spearheading the development of these titles. “It should help you understand the level of commitment from Nintendo” Iwata told Japanese news outlet Sankei.

Kong certainly has the pedigree, what can he do with smartphones? Let us know the comments.
