If you are wondering about specific financial terms of the deal, it will take some time to quench your thirst because the terms are not disclosed up till the time of this writing.
If you remember, last year in December some reports were claiming Nintendo yo be failed to develop smartphone games fast enough to meet demand. The report also said that the company was trying to partner with new companies to catch up.
The report also claimed that Nintendo had meetings with Puzzle & Dragons developer GungHo about a potential partnership, though at the time there was no any kind of mention of Cygames being in the mix.
A point worth to mention here is that the company is already working with DeNA on mobile games, and it owns a 10 per cent stake in that very studio. While DeNA owns more than 20 perc ent of Cygames, so all the three companies –Nintendo, DeNA, and Cygames– are linked to an extent.
