But it will be very appealing, even a must have, for kids that don't own a smart phone. The mobile game tie-in to AAA games are inaccessible to younglings with no phones. Also the AAA tie-in mobile games are already made to run on Andriod and IOS so the mini portable unit that comes with the NX probably runs a branched version making these existing games ready to go. The big question is what other kind of mobile to console integration will Nintendo bring with the NX that doesn't currently exist now? 

I work in elementary schools.  From my experience, the "kids who don't have access to a smart phone" market is small, and getting smaller and smaller.  Kids have access to smart phones or tablets one way or another.  

Yes, then this could be another one of Nintendo‘s fantastic ideas that's just a little to late. That is exactly why the mobile NX component must bring something new with it's connectivity to the home console. Maybe the mobile NX is an actual functioning phone, like a cheap Chinese android phone, designed for kids. So parents could buy the NX for their child and kill two birds with one credit charge. A phone designed for kids would be a blue ocean market, and they get a game console with it.
