An App starring Mario, like Puzzles and Dragons, is one thing. Actually making a mobile Mario Kart title would be quite another, and monumentally stupid.

I guess Nintendo will be crying all the way to the bank about it then. 

This isn't some small little deal either, it's a capital investment, Nintendo now owns 10% of DeNA, and DeNA is a pretty huge company. DeNA even owns a small stake in Nintendo. 

It's going to be the big gun IP, just tailored for the smartphone format. Again they're also stressing they want to do this to introduce Nintendo characters to wider audiences ... so it's gonna be Mario, Pikachu, etc. 

Nintendo is not going to bring the premier experiences to the phones and tablets. You will get the pokemon shuffles, Dr Mario's, Mario Vs Donkey Kong, Angry Zelda's. I thought this was common sense.
