The news that the app will drop by the "end of the fiscal year" was tweeted out by analyst David Gibson, who is in attendance.At its financial results meeting back in January, Nintendo stressed that although we won't be seeing its games on smart-devices, it wants to have a mobile presence . It's still not entirely clear as to whether this will be a dedicated app or a browser-based service, and there's no news as to when or if it will be implemented outside of Japan. We've reached out to Nintendo for more information and will update this story accordingly.
