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. 


I'm talking legal support/marketing/manufacturing from Nintendo. There obviously are about a dozen iPhone controllers, if Nintendo themselves stepped into that market, they would do well.
