It's been a long time coming, so some backlash was expecting as many didn't want to think Nintendo would do work for mobile platforms.

Yeah, about a year ago, or even in more recent times, one would be forgiven to think that Nintendo were not conceding anything related to smart devices and mobile games.

Basically; the nerds (people like us) were saying "no, no and no" and the business world was saying "yes, yes and yes", Nintendo seems to have woken up and realized that they are in this to make money, not only pursue their own creative interests, this is a fact that most developers and publishers in the world have had to deal with for a long time. The more I think about it, the more happy I am about the whole thing, an added bonus could be that Nintendo helps lift the quality of mobile gaming and perhaps even helps battle some of the more unsavory business practices this arena is currently hosting.

We'll see, I guess.
