Nintendo has been threatening to target mobile devices with ports of their successful titles, and soon you will be able to catch ’em all on your iPad: it has been confirmed that Pokemon Trading Card Game Online will be available for iOS later this year.
There are many reasons for Nintendo to start playing in the mobile game marketplace, not the least of which is to increase interest in the game franchises that may bring consumers to their console products. If that doesn’t result in success, at a minimum they will have their hands in mobile gaming and could always build on that as a next-generation plan.
The Pokemon Trading Card Game for iPad is basically a port of the free game already available on the Pokemon website, but it’s a step in the right direction.
