Nintendo would get slaughtered, a lot of you underestimate how competitive the smart phone market is. Nintendo is small potatoes with mediocre marketing and would have no app support. They can't even get video game developers to support them, how are they going to build an app ecosystem to match up against iOS and Android as a complete outsider? Ubuntu, lol?
No chance.
Beyond that there is a pricing issue here too, I don't think many people want to pay more than a $1 for a mobile game period.
The only way Nintendo could have a chance is if they partnered with Google or Samsung or Apple or Sony (yeah I said it) or some other big phone provider to create a sub-branded phone that has full app support, but even that would be problematic because how do you resolve Nintendo games at $39.99 versus $1 of free apps? It would be like McDonalds having a $30 hamburger on their menu, people would just order the Big Mac instead.
