This is fantastic news.

Once again Nintendo shows that nobody will ever be able to beat their IPs.

Also lol @ anybody thinking this somehow shows that Nintendo should just go third party. If anything it shows why they should KEEP making consoles. After so many people play this they'll want to play the next one, which can only be gotten on a Nintendo system, which means they'll have to buy it. 

Iwata even alluded to trying to leverage mobile to convince people to buy Nintendo hardware.  If everything works out, the NX could be a nice success.
