I don't know. I think it would fail miserably. Nintendo would need one serious shitload of patents. So either they have to pay big time for each and every device sold, or they would need to buy one giant ass company, like Google did with Motorola. But even then, they lack the know-how and experience to really go into the smartphone business. I very much doubt they are able to create a device that could compete with the rest of the market. If they go low-end, the device will get destroyed in reviews. If they go high-end, it will be expensive as fuck, from what they would lose a big ass chunk of their fanbase - kids.
It could go either way. I would buy a Nintendo phone instantly. But when it comes to mass market, I think it would fail miserably.
