Tinder Goes Bandersnatch With Swipe Night Interactive Series
Popular dating app Tinder is throwing its hat into the streaming arena with a live-action interactive series called Swipe Night. The four-episode dating-themed drama will consist of four episodes and is set to premiere on Tinder on Sunday, October 6, 2019.
Here's how Tinder describes the series: "Swipe Night follows four friends - including the user in a first-person, starring role - on their journey to the end of the world after discovering there’s three hours left to live. It’s shot entirely in first-person, so the member is placed squarely in the middle of the storyline, making each of its four episodes a wild ride of self-discovery and new connections. As the story unfolds, members will face moral dilemmas and practical choices, as they decide what happens to them next. Their choices dictate more than just the story; they also impact who they match with and what they will chat about once the story ends. Critical choices will be added to members’ profiles following the experience, showing which decisions potential matches did - or did not - make."

Nintendo’s Mobile Game Ventures Never Amounted To Much
In 2015, the late Nintendo president and CEO Satoru Iwata took to a Japanese stage to make an announcement that could conceivably turn the tide of the company’s history. In one of the last major deals that Iwata made before his passing a few months later, the executive announced that Nintendo would be developing software for mobile devices. Nintendo was acquiescing to angry shareholders upset that the Japanese developer was not leveraging their properties in the high-revenue mobile market and, to observers at the time, potentially changing everything we knew about the company.
But that would not be the case. It has been over four years since that announcement was made, three years since Shigeru Miyamoto landed in San Francisco to lend his creations and credibility to Apple’s 2016 keynote, two years since Nintendo overhauled its sales tactics for the mobile market, and its mobile games have not changed the world. They have barely changed the company, which is both a consequence of Nintendo’s own plans for mobile and its lack of experience in the arena. However you look at it, the house that Mario built has failed to make the dent in the mobile game industry that everyone assumed it would.
