We haven't seen yet a orchestrated launch of a mobile game before a connected dedicated-device-game. Interesting in this case are the numbers of Pokemon Sun/Moon. Competitiors like Bethesda already had a huge success with their mobile game advertising Fallout 4 and even made millions with the mobile game itself. Even if it is just a small success…Nintendo earns money and saves money for advertising. Win-Win.

In whatever way they make money, I just hope they use it to make some quality games and not even more shovelware. Very disappointed with their current output. 

Games like Zelda: BOTW shows that they are still making quality games. All these "shovelware" games are made by smaller teams just to have something for the WiiU and 3DS. Just wait until the 3D Mario devs, Retro Studios, Monolith Soft etc start revealing their new games for the NX.
