It’s not too late for the swipe game, though.
A few years ago, Nintendo was pushing the mobile version of the classic card game as a way to make the game more attractive to players who don’t have a Nintendo Switch.
“We were trying to create a mobile game that’s a little more attractive, that’s different than what people can buy on a Switch,” Nippon Ichi Software president Toshihiro Sakurai told the Wall Street Journal at the time.
While that idea hasn’t been realized, the app’s popularity has been steady since then, as evidenced by the surge in popularity for Nintendo’s own “swipe game” app, which debuted back in February. “
And, the swipe is still there.”

Now, with the swipe app having been officially announced as a feature on Nintendo’s upcoming Switch game, we asked the company what it was like to bring the concept to life on a smartphone.
