This comes from DeNA's Q&A for their 4th Quarter earnings results of the fiscal year ending March 2021.

There were two questions specifically about Nintendo:

Q10 What are the plans for the future, such as new titles, in the Nintendo alliance?
A10 We do not have any additional information to share at this time, but we continue to have a good relationship.

And

Q13 Please share the significance behind the capital & business alliance with Nintendo.
A13 There has been no change to this important relationship. We will continue to make use of our strengths and make the good relationship with Nintendo even better going forward.

For context, they're making reference to one of slides from the earnings results (link: https://ssl4.eir-parts.net/doc/2432/ir_material3/158553/00.pdf )

This is what the slide says about Nintendo:

Business & capital alliance from 2015
• Joint development and live operations of game apps for smart devices
• Joint development of new core system compatible with a variety of devices

Didn't DeNA also do the back end and engineering for Switch Online and MyNintendo?

So pretty much no news, this is just the status quo.

Definitely My Nintendo (and Nintendo Account as a whole for that matter) but I don't think they are involved with the Switch Online.

What's also interesting about DeNa is that they own 1.73% of Nintendo shares which is worth over $1B; conversely, Nintendo owns 15% of DeNa which is worth $350M. Seems like DeNa got the better deal 👀

I'm hoping they continue their working relationship with Nintendo - I quite enjoy Pokémon EX (also I'm an investor of DeNa so quite biased 😂)
