Comment on Japan moves to ban Google, Apple from blocking app store competitors
mrbubblesort@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoI wish, but this seems specifically aimed at smartphones only. However, this could open the door for Nintendo to make their own eshop for Android or Apple, and I suspect that’s what the gov is going for because it would directly benefit Japanese companies at the expense of foreign ones.

Why would Nintendo want a shop on Android and Apple? They don’t own those platforms…

They do make games for phones though. I haven’t heard of any in a while but I remember some dust being kicked up about Mario coming to smartphones about a decade ago.
I’m on my phone now actually. Let me look.
Yep.
