Nintendo Increases Investment in Niantic, Developer of Pokémon Go

Plenty of Nintendo gamers may not have heard of Niantic before it was confirmed as the developer of AR-based Pokémon Go, which is coming iOS and Apple in 2016. Nevertheless the company has strong credentials - it was launched by Google co-founder John Hanke and has 13 million downloads behind it of previous AR title Ingress, which seems similar in concept to Pokémon Go.

Not only are Nintendo and The Pokémon Company active in the development of Go, but both companies have now boosted their investment in Niantic. The big N, Pokémon Company and Google are investing a combined $30 million into the company, with $20 million of that being up front. The press release gives the following purpose for the cash:

Niantic, Inc. will leverage the funding and strategic relationships to continue work on Pokémon GO, support its thriving global Ingress community, scale its platform and bring new games to market.

President and CEO of The Pokémon Company, Tsunekazu Ishihara, is quoted as follows.

Pokémon's strategic investment in Niantic paves the way for a social mobile experience the world has never seen before. The Pokémon Company is committed to partnering with companies like Niantic that share the same spirit of community and innovation.

It's worth noting, once again, that although The Pokémon Company operates independently, it is owned by Nintendo. From Nintendo's perspective this represents a significant investment, and a renewal of its intention to invest in smart device gaming - in addition to its partnership with DeNA.

Video: Early Pokémon Go Footage Shows Off AR Pocket Monster Catching

Pokémon Go is coming this year, though The Pokémon Company, Nintendo and developer Niantic have largely stuck with fancy concept CG commercials to date. The realities of the reveal trailer's pitch and the app itself will, naturally, be different, but the core idea of augmented reality (AR) gaming to catch 'mon in the 'real world' has certainly excited many.

Now off-screen footage has emerged (via Eric F on YouTube) which shows a segment of Niantic's AR talk at SXSW - the high profile public event was effectively called off, but a talk clearly went ahead without being live streamed online.

As you can see below, the footage shows the basic process of seeing a grass-type Ivysaur over an actual grass background, before catching it by tossing Pokéballs; different environments will yield different 'mon. There's also a brief glance at the overworld, which looks heavily inspired by a Google Maps style.

Nachdem nun Japan, die USA und inoffiziell auch die halbe Welt Pokémon Go spielt, schein der offizielle Release auch nicht mehr allzu fern zu sein:

Pokemon GO release in Europe and other regions supposedly “within days”

People in Australia, New Zealand and the US have been enjoying Pokemon GO for a couple of days now, but the game is still not available in most other countries. This could change soon, however – according to a report from the Wall Street Journal, “people familiar with the plans for the game said it would likely be available in other regions, including Europe, Japan and other Asian nations within days.”

Ich hab es zwar auch installiert, aber irgendwie raff ich noch nicht wirklich, was ich da überhaupt machen muss.

Afaik außer Haus gehen, Pkm suchen, Pkm fangen, mit Leuten vor Ort austauschen die das selbe machen, Leichen in Flüssen finden und ausgeraubt werden.

Ich frage mich eher, wenn so ein Pokémon in der Nähe angezeigt wird, kann ich das Vieh irgendwie Orten oder einfach auf gut glück in irgend eine Richtung laufen?

Zudem ist hier in der Umgebung überhaupt nichts zu finden. Keine Pokéstops, Arenen oder sonst igendwas.
