Comment on Japan moves to ban Google, Apple from blocking app store competitors
mrbubblesort@lemmy.world 20 hours 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.
