Also i believe that Iwata said he will try to bring mobile games to the 3DS for a low price, which i guess is alright for people who want all their games of one system and no ads, but i don't think they'll sell very well as people will just want the same FREE game on mobiles.

I can't see that doing so well, I mean if he floods the eshop with freemium mobile games, it will just drive away some of the hardcore users who don't want their shop spammed with bad free games, I despise what that's done to the Google play store and I wouldn't want Nintendo to cram theirs the same way.

Oh they aren't free. You will pay $10+ for them to play them on Nintendo handhelds (versus free or $1 on a phone). Apparently there is a market for it though. Angry Birds sold well on 3DS, Puzzles x Dragons is a million seller on the 3DS in Japan.
