Nintendo came up with a game in which your relatives become heroes of insane trials.
Nintendo has decided to turn family photos into a crazy set of mini-games. On May 28, the company will release Pictonico for iOS and Android. Users will be able to upload personal pictures and undergo dozens of short tests in the spirit of the old Nintendo arcades.
Judging by the description, the developers bet on absurd humor. In the promotional materials offer to “freeze the mouth of a noisy son”, send friends to jump with a parachute or dress up grandfather in the ballerina for the sake of another photo. In social networks, many immediately compared the novelty with Face Raiders and WarioWare.
The WarioWare series appeared in 2003 and became famous for short “microgames”, where in a few seconds you need to perform a strange action – for example, pull the hair out of the nose or dodge an object. Face Raiders for Nintendo 3DS allowed you to upload photos of friends and turn faces in pictures into flying opponents. Pictonico brings together both ideas and adds a modern culture of Internet memes. The full version will offer about 80 mini-games. Only three will be allowed to try for free, and access to the entire set will cost about $ 14.
Against the background of the announcement, users immediately began talking about security. The main question is whether it is safe to upload personal photos. Some fear that scammers can take advantage of the project and create fake apps like Pictonico Premium to steal data.
Reddit also discussed whether it is possible to download prohibited content. Users suggested that Nintendo will build an automatic image verification system to detect explicit images. The company has already said that the photos will not be transmitted through the platform page, and after the first Pctonico connection will be able to work without access to the Internet. Cybernews asked Nintendo for more comments.
Last year was a record for Nintendo. The Switch console has officially become the best-selling game console in the history of the company. At the same time, Nintendo warned that the prices of the current model will rise, because memory chips have risen in price - the demand for them has increased dramatically against the background of a boom in artificial intelligence.
