The Pokémon Company International announced earlier today that Pokémon Shuffle Mobile is currently in development for mobile devices and will launch later this year.
Pokémon Shuffle is a match-3 game that was released on the 3DS earlier this year. Players will battle wild Pokémon with their puzzle-solving skills by matching three or more Pokémon. Fans can even battle through difficult stages by using Mega-Evolved Pokémon.
Pokémon Shuffle Mobile will be Nintendo’s first mobile game after it announced it’s Mobile penetration plan earlier this March. Since Nintendo mentioned that they are targeting to release only 5 games by 2017, I understand why they play the safety card and release a 3DS ported game that was so popular. However I really hope that there will be new ideas for the remaining 4 games and not just port overs from their other platforms.
