I have to admit if this was real:

 

Nintendo would have no problem selling 50-150 million of them at $60 a pop just for the controller, and then probably a ton of games at $4-$5 a pop. 

I think it would quickly become the no.1 individual selling smartphone accessorie. 

that thing exists, costs around 20-30 dollars and is nowhere near as succesful as you'd like it to be :P

Is it made by Nintendo? Does it play Nintendo games? No and no? Well yeah, thanks then. 

The bottom line with a Nintendo phone is this -- are they making the OS themselves? If so, forget it. It will never fly, no one but Nintendo fanatics would consider buying such a device and that makes such a device pointless.

A smartphone is the center of a lot of people's day to day lives, it's not a joke or a toy, it needs to function to suit people's lifestyles, the "please understand" nonsense that Nintendo gets away with in the game business would not fly in the cell phone market.
