Well there is the other point that a lot of Nintendo's games simply wouldn't work that great on mobile.

The top grossing mobile games are not ports of old button based titles. I played Megaman 2 on iPhone ... it was a terrible experience.


they dont have to be top grossing, just sell enough to make a profit which im sure they could do.


To be honest I don't think it'd be that big of a cash cow for them, unless they were willing to make games from scratch. Nintendo doesn't need an extra $10-$20 million a year, they need a sound business philosophy that secures a viable future for them. 

If I were Nintendo I'd seriously take a look at expanding more into the movie business. If done correctly, there's no reason IMO that a "Nintendo Movie" with Nintendo characters (maybe some third party ones) couldn't do as well as a "LEGO Movie" just did. And I think Zelda could be a big live action series of films. 

It's just like 20 years ago, Marvel movies were horrible, but today they rule the box office, just need the right producer/writer behind the movies. 

They could then expand their toy/merchandising business from that. They need to get away from being just a video game company, and I think they are looking to do that.
