[chuddy_2001uk]

Yep, Nintendo has officially entered the mobile phone market.

Nintendo enters the market next month, but don't expect to be playing Metroid or anything.

According to Nikkei Net, the company announced today that it will launch its new subscription service, Nintendo Mobile, on October 17. Nintendo Mobile will pass on offering actual games but will provide subscribers with various game-related content for their mobile phones. The service's initial offerings will include downloadable wallpapers, as well as sound effects from the Super Mario Bros. series (most likely ringtones)

They also plan to use the service to release the latest info on their games and such. Service charges are 210 yen, which is about $1.95 per month.
