In the near future, we plan to work together with LINE Corporation to release the Dr. Mario World application on July 10. We are also working with DeNA Co., Ltd. on the development of Mario Kart Tour, to be released this summer.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><em>Would you like to see Nintendo team up with other companies more often?
