On November 8, 2022, Nintendo (NTDOY) released its Q2 2023 earnings report. These reports, available via the Nintendo Investor Relations site, offer valuable insight into how the company has performed over this fiscal year. However, there was also an announcement that Nintendo and DeNA have entered a joint venture to expand “outside its dedicated gaming system”.

The document, which you can see below and read here, notes that the two companies have worked together for more than seven years. While Nintendo’s core business is its hardware-software model, it also wants to enhance experiences and services outside of this key focus. The venture with DeNA will aim to “strengthen the digitization of Nintendo’s business” which will also focus on Nintendo account.
