Dr Mario world : Nintendo,line join hands to bring game to Android and IOS smartphone later this year

Popular gaming platform and console maker Nintendo has joined hands with messaging app Line and renowned game developer NHN entertainment to develop something that they have been calling " Dr Mario World." The new game will be the latest addition to Nintendo's "Dr Mario" tile-matching puzzle game series. More details about the game are not revealed yet, but Nintendo says the final game will be a free download so everyone will be able to play the game. However, the game will get in-app purchases, hinting at the possibility that gamers may have to purchase possible add-ons if they wished to progress in the game.

The Dr Mario World follows a similar mode to another of Nintendo's games, "Super Mario Run." The side-scrolling game was free to download but required users to pay for additional levels, a move which found only a few takers.

Nintendo, in its blog post, stated, "Nintendo continues to introduce unique entertainment products and characters like Mario to the world, establishing itself as a globally recognized brand that represents video game culture in the home entertainment industry. In 2016, Nintendo entered the mobile games business, creating even more opportunities for consumers to engage with Nintendo IP and reaching audiences beyond its dedicated video game platform business."

The puzzle game is slated to land by early summer 2019 for both iOS and Android smartphone users. The game will be released in approximately 60 countries/regions including Japan, and the United States. The game will be released in multiple languages which includes Japanese and English.
