Just look at Super Mario Run, Animal Crossing Pocket Camp, Fire Emblem Heroes, and the upcoming Mario Kart Grand Tour; all of these are examples of games developed using first-party resources. |
Mobile games rely on ongoing, continuous revenue generated from micro-transactions. Nintendo says that they only plan to release 2-3 mobile games a year. So aside from those occasional mobile games, the vast majority of Nintendo's output can go to Switch games.
