So is Nintendo getting money for doing nothing then?

Whole Pokemon Go idea was Iwata's idea, also they definitely giving some help to Niantic same like Pokemon Company, but most likely at least 80% job is done by Niantic itself.

Nintendo also releasing Pokemon Go Plus device, and most of profit will be taken by Nintendo of course.

I hope this is the way they go with their mobile business. Let other people do most of the work while they focus on real games

Of course they are not making money since other people are stealing their trademarks like this little shit here



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

Well Nintendo did say they want to expand their IP awareness, and they talked about more licensing their IPs so we can expect more Nintendo games done buy 3rd party, but they will also have some mobile games made internally.
