5 Best Nintendo Games that Might Follow in 'Pokemon Go' Footsteps

These 5 Nintendo hames may be the next top augmented reality mobile games after 'Pokemon Go'

The launch of Pokémon Go has undeniably led to a phenomenal success. The game is jointly owned by The Pokémon Company, which 32 percent is owned by Nintendo, and Niantic Inc. Although it was not directly developed or published by Nintendo, people still consider it as Nintendo's first official venture into the mobile market.

Because of this, people are being optimistic for the possibility that Nintendo will soon turn some of its published games into mobile games. Five of the highest picks are the following:

1. WarioWare

WarioWare would be a natural fit for a platform built on inexpensive, bite-sized experiences due to its natural form that is split into two directions: a series of traditional side-scrolling platform games, and a series of party games.

The platform games are derived from the Super Mario Land series of games for the Game Boy. Some of the platform games are the WarioWare: Snapped!, WarioWare: Twisted!, WarioWare: Touched!, and WarioWare D.I.Y. These games are especially directed at younger players.

2. Art Academy

Art Academy is an art training software for Nintendo DS which can teach and help anyone to develop their art skills and techniques that can be applied with real-life tools and materials. It was first released in 2009 and became available for retail-able DS Game Card in 2010.

It features very realistic range of art tools which can be used whichever way the user deems to. Although Art Academy does not feature any actual gameplay, it does, however, feature a mode which requires any user to progress in order to unlock higher levels.

It has two modes of play: Lessons and Free Paint mode. Art Academy can become a hit especially now that the phone and tablet-based art community is growing and comparable alternative applications are lacking.

3. Animal Crossing

Animal Crossing is a community simulation video game series in which the human player lives in a village inhabited by animals. Developed and published by Nintendo, this game allows the human player to carry out various activities such as fishing, bug catching, etc.

The game revolves around the player's chosen character or Mii, which can be customized with accessories after earning points from mini games.

Points can be earned as well when Miis meet another Miis and when they send personalized messages. It also has a map feature wherein players can see which countries they have met most Miis. There is also a music player that features tracks of music from the game.

5. Tomodachi Life

Tomodachi Life is a life simulation handy video game developed and published by Nintendo for Nintendo 3DS in 2013. The game takes place on an island which the players can customize from their 3DS, 2DS, 3DS XL, and other devices.

This island is inhabited by Miis that can be given their own voice, with the use of vocal synthesizer software, and a unique personality based on slider inputs. These Miis can perform various functions such as eating, changing clothes, falling in love with another Mii, and many other leisure activities.

Like humans, Miis can also develop several kinds of relationships with other Miis such as friendship and rivalry. The players earn points in order to unlock more items from stores such as clothes and food.
