Nintendo said Tuesday it was teaming up with a mobile gaming company to develop games for smartphones in what could be a turning point for the Japanese giant which has long refused to enter the soaring market. The maker of the iconic Super Mario and Pokemon franchises plans to buy 10 percent of Tokyo-based DeNA for 22 billion yen ($181 million) with the pair set to create games based on Nintendo's host of popular characters. They did not release any details about which characters would be made available to play on smartphones or tablets. Nintendo and DeNA also plan to develop an online membership service accessible from mobile devices.
