<p>Ojiro “Moppin” Fumoto – best known for the award-winning mobile title <strong>Downwell</strong> – has joined Nintendo.</p>
<p>Fumoto made the announcement via his Twitter account, and his profile now features the text “Downwell / Nintendo”.</p>
<p>While “serious” gamers often look down on smartphone titles, Downwell is one of those rare cases of a mobile game being <em>really</em> good. Despite its simple controls, it delivers one of the most intense and challenging gameplay experiences you can have on a smartphone, and boasts some striking pixel visuals which call to mind the twitch arcade classics of yesteryear. It’s since been ported to Windows, PS4 and PS Vita.</p>

<p>It will be interesting to see how Nintendo uses Fumoto’s unique talents, and it’s good to know that the company is hiring such fresh talent. </p>
