The problem with this is Nintendo wouldn't have any control over software licensing fees. For example if say Capcom wanted to make a game using this controller, I don't think Nintendo could make any way that they collect a licensing fee like they would on a platform they own. Apple/Google own these OS' so that would be out.

If NX fails though I could see Nintendo doing this and just throwing their entire weight behind mobile. In 3-4 years by the time something like that would become clear, the standard smartphone/tablet processor will be pretty beefy too.

If the game is made for the NX home console, there is your licensing fee. The fact that the game also is playable on your mobile device doesn't make that fee disappear. And the Nintendo controller would be required to play the game on a mobile device.

Maybe you would have to buy the NX micro console to get the controller that you would use on your phone. Otherwise the game would be unplayable.
