$39m revenue

So less revenue than 1m sales of any console game.

Yeah, Nintendo should definitely go mobile.

So you think a few million more in your pocket from minimal investment is bad?

They could have made more money by making it free and boosting sales of Mario games even more. Maybe they'll do that before the next SMB game releases.

As part of the marketing budget, it's fine. As an alternative to dedicated hw/sw, it's a joke. In terms of revenue for a Mario game, it'll struggle to beat Hotel Mario.
