My personal thought on the ultimate decision to partner with DeNA.

I don't believe Iwata ever said they would never enter the mobile market, more like they would never port their console/handheld games over and if they did enter it would be as a way to promote their dedicated hardware without devaluing their ip and not as a way to make a quick buck.

And they still said that when the announcement got made. I don't think they will port any game to mobile, maybe not even games from old consoles since they can still sell them at a higher price in the eShop.

In other words, I'm interested what this will bring, as it will certainly be something new

Agreed. I don't believe they would waste the time and resources to develop a partnership over something small and fleeting (like somethimg as simple as a new way to look up your club Nintendo account. Whatever it is it's gonna be big.
