Somethings worth noting:

Dena has their own platafform(know as mobage). In terms of features, we can expect something similar. Maybe you guys that have a smartphone can share yours experience with it?

Dena will not create something to replace nintendo network, they will replace club nintendo first and foremost. People expecting crosssave, cross-buy and same account on multiple consoles will get disapointed. Nintendo said however, that they were working on something better for nintendo network.

Dena will be like the publisher of nintendo games on mobile space. Nintendo is making the games first and foremost, but things like handling app-purchases will all be sided on Dena. Not sure of who will do the advertising, but considering that nintendo wants the app to work as a advertisiment, i think that advertisiment will be on Dena side.

Neither pokemon shuflle or pokemon go are the game on what nintendo is working. Those are works of the pokemon company first and foremost. So, we are yet to see what nintendo really have in store for us.

It was pretty clear that Dena and nintendo wanted different things while iwata was in charge. Nintendo wanted smartphones more like companion apps, but Dena really wanted the app as product by themselves. Not sure how this thing evolved since iwata's passing. By this i think that is at least secure to say that estabilished IP's will be used.

There is no way in hell Nintendo is launching a unified platform where you can play one game across multiple consoles without having cross buy/save/play and having the same acount to link them all together. That's not even speculation anymore. DeNA is already confirmed to be working on the MP, the MP is already confirmed to be more than just a rewards program, and Nintendo already confirmed that the MP would be the core part of the NX platform, and the MP is already confirmed to use one account. All of that is confirmed.

Will the MP replace the Nintendo Network? Doubt it. Buy it will absolutely be structurally integrated into it. The MP, for example, will likely use your NNID.

DeNA will not publish Nintendo mobile games. Nintendo will. DeNA is helping with the structure, and is likely helping Nintendo try and cultivate its own marketplace on mobile. Itawa absolutely never alluded to wanting their mobile games to be companion apps. That's a fan theory. Nintendo and DeNA are completely on the same page. They both want the games to stand alone as their own products. They just want those products to spread brand awareness for Nintendo's IP, which will be good for their hardware as a result. 500m people playing amazing Nintendo games tailor made on their smart phones is the advertizement.

What MP means?

 

But hey, there was no way in hell nintendo would launch a system in 2012 without all of that... how did that go again?
