Could the endless runner angle be the "change" in the Mario series Miyamoto was talking about for NX?

It's a game developed for phones, to play one handed while you eat a hamburger like he said. Also brand awareness, Nintendo is thinking that a lot of phone users are going to say "ok this is really fun, now I want to play a real mario game" and that could work, it works for pokemon.

I doubt that. We'll see when SunMoon numbers are out.

And that's the thing. You catch smart phone gamers with smart phone like games. Give them tastes of it on the iphone to get them wanting Pokemon Go. Then release Pokemon Go 2 with updates on NX. Same with Mario Run. They'll still have their LoZs and Xenoblades, but need something for the casuals. How else do they expect to sell 12 mil in a single year.
