Nintendo should slowly enter the mobile market with well known franchises like Mario, Zelda and Pokemon.
Re-release the games from the GB, GBA & DS era - $0.99-2.99
Re-release the games from the NES, N64 & GC era - $3.99-5.99
Release games for PS4, Xbox One & PC - $39.99-59.99
According to VGC's numbers:
New Super Mario Bros. U sold 4.32 million, if released on PS4, Xbox One & PC, they could potentially have sold 10+ million.
Mario Kart 8 sold 3.01, if released on PS4, Xbox One & PC, they could potentially have sold 10+ million.
Super Mario 3D world sold 2.39, if released on PS4, Xbox One & PC, they could potentially have sold 5+ million
New Super Luigi U sold 1.81, if released on PS4, Xbox One & PC, they could potentially have sold 5+ million
You get where I am going.
But, most important of all, merchandise! Just look at Angry Birds.

You know nintendo already makes a lot of money of merchanidise, they were doing it before angry birds, and they will be doing it after angry birds is long forgotten.
Also nintendo going software only would narrow down the list of games they make to zelda, mario, and pokemon essentially. Similarly to how sega has no use for it's lower sellling IPs anymore now that they don't need to sell a console or keep a fanbase happy. Nintendo also keeps ALL their profits from their own games, and doesn't have to spend as much money making them for multiple higher end systems. Selling 4.32 million on wii u might actually net them more profit than 10 million on PS4/ONE/PC.
