Nintendo’s first mobile game Miitomo is launching in March along with My Nintendo service

A new age for Nintendo is about to begin.

The Japanese gaming giant announced today that its first mobile game, Miitomo, will launch on iOS and Android platforms this March. This is a big event for Nintendo, which hopes to make an impact in the $30 billion dollar mobile business with the help of its partner, Japanese mobile publisher DeNA.

Nintendo’s move to mobile is part of a new initiative for the company that also includes a new system, the mysterious NX, and Universal theme park attractions based on its popular characters.
