If you live in Japan, the land Nintendo calls its home, you soon will be able to pick up official ring tones and
animated images of your favorite Nintendo icons for your cell phone. Beginning October 17th NTT DoMoCo customers
(KDDI(au) and Vodafone customers must wait until October 20th and November 1st, respectively) will be able to receive
official Nintendo downloads onto their cell phones for a fee of about $2 per month.
This is great news for Nintendo fans (in Japan), but where are the cell phone games? Dr. Mario, for example, would be
perfect. Hopefully it is just a natural progression – first the ring tones, followed by the games that inspired the
tones. Seeing Mario on non-Nintendo hardware has happened before – anyone remember Mario Teaches Typing?
