Ehh... OK, they did not make anywhere close to what they expected, which means they did not make a lot of money (from Nintendo's perspective). There's not much sense in investing into mobile development, when you can make more money elsewhere.

Secondly, being number one on the online marketplaces, means nothing on Nintendo's scale. The thing is, virtually nobody is making money there. Nintendo is using the mobile marketplace to promote their premium content on Switch/3DS, where their bread and butter is (although, lack of interest on mobile may indicate lack of interest for their console games).

I'm aiming to develop games for mobile (if someone capable of programming is interested in making mobile games on the basis of profit sharing, feel free to PM), and been looking for business opportunities there, and that's what the mobile market looks like. It could be that the investors expect Nintendo to perform like Supercell, that makes hundreds of million of Euros profit on constant basis with their handful of games.

...Except they did make a ton of money. Like millions and millions. Not meeting expectations can be the difference of a few million (Nintendo historically has been pretty out there with expectations). It's funny too because Fire Emblem Heroes did really well for them, only Mario Run did not meet expectations. That's literally it. I don't see them abandoning mobile any time soon, Pokemon Go for example did in fact cause Pokemon sales (hardware, games, merch) to grow exponentially.

Anyway, I wish you good luck with your game.

Yes, that's what Pokemon Go did, and that's what Nintendo expects from their mobile strategy.

SMR did not meet expectations, but that's a game that should've made tons of money. FE did not have high expectations, but that's an IP Nintendo want's to make better known to public. Basically this is about where they direct their resources. SMR was a Miyamoto game, and Nintendo's no.1 team can make more money doing something else. In the end, mobile is only a small portion in Nintendo's revenue.

Thanks! Once we have the first game out, I'll PM you a download code (may take some time).
