Nintendo Deepens Its Augmented Reality Partnership With the Developer of Pokemon Go
Nintendo (OTC: NTDOY) announced an expanded partnership with Niantic Labs on Tuesday. Niantic is the developer behind the hugely successful Pokemon Go, and it's also developed other successful augmented reality (AR) apps, including Harry Potter: Wizards Unite.
The two companies are working on an AR-based installment in Nintendo's Pikmin franchise that's set to launch on mobile platforms later this year. Similar to Pokemon Go, the new Pikmin game will encourage players to get out and explore real-world environments in order to interact with AR characters.
