  I recall Nintendo claiming they wanted to move away from mobile again a while ago but I didn‘t really believe it back then and I‘m still skeptical now. They‘ve received more criticism for their predatory mobile games lately so maybe that got something to do with it or it‘s simply not making enough money anymore to bother with it and they‘d rather get the devs working on something else.

    nintendo and DeNA crates a joint venture team last year, so i highly doubt theyre pulling out of mobile, theyre just relying less on it.

  I always wondered this myself.

  I think I remember reading a while ago that apps need to be updated occasionally to comply with .apk guidelines.

  This is presumably dependant on which permissions the .apk requests. So a simple calculator app wouldn’t need to be updated, but the calculator plus app, which tracks my blood pressure, how many glasses of water I’ve drank, and my semen count, would need to be updated occasionally to comply with Google’s privacy policies.

    I see your post has a few upvotes. Therefore, I will trust you implicitly on this matter. Thank you!

  Maybe Switch 2 will be announced around than with a new AC as a launch title?
