Again, almost no one will say that. Almost no one has said that yet and there's been plenty of time since the NX / mobile announcement for the doom merchants to pile on to that topic.

You are now anticipating massive negativity before it even happens.  It's almost like you see Nintendo as a victim of irrational hate and so you demand that there be irrational hate in order to validate your belief.

No one in forums will say that. But what about the mainstream gamer that see that news in some non-dedicated site, read only the title and go to their friend: "hey, dude! Do u know that company that makes mario games? they will make mobile games!" "awesome! so i can play super mario bros on my tablet? That's cool i really missed this game..."

Real story: my cousin saw that news, shared and tagged me on facebook, then my uncle comment on the post: "yay! i can finally play mario bros on my phone!". the only thing that i could do is like the post

That sort of mis-information on the part of ill-informed individuals is a long way from what you seem to be implying is an orchestrated campaign of negativity towards Nintendo. After all, the persons saying "woohoo Nintendo is gonna put its games on my phone / tablet!" may be reacting to a news article that is putting that move in a very positive light. Hence a positive news piece leading to a positive reaction, which is the complete opposite of what you've been trying to say in this thread. 

Find us an example of comments like "Nyah nyah, Nintendo is such a loser that it now has to abandon consoles and going go mobile only." I haven't yet seen a reaction of that nature to Nintendo's mobile gaming announcement. But you seem to be suggesting that those are the common online or mainstream media reactions people are having to Nintendo's initiatives.

You say all Nintendo needs to do to be relevant is release great games. But surely you will agree that Nintendo has done exactly that with Wii U, I certainly think they've released great games. And as a game developer they are about as prolific as any studio, so you can't really ask for them to release more games. So there must be something else Nintendo needs to do to regain relevance, or become more relevant, because just releasing great games isn't doing it.
