Well if they do it'll probably be a few generations back in terms of features and functionality.

 

OT: I doubt it. Getting into the smartphone business requires a lot of money & patents. I don't think Nintendo wants to take that big of a risk if just releasing content on existing smartphone ecosystems works well enough.

That was exactly my argument against Nintendo doing this.  The counter argument I received was that Nintendo's hardware isn't doing very well, but I think that only supports my point.
