There's a really known franchise that didn't appear on Wii U (not a new game, at least):
Wii Sports.

Tennis, baseball, box, archery, golf, power cruising, etc.
All this games could work on mobile devices - along with new ones.

It's a very know franchise that has a lot of potential and on mobile it could do wonders!

Yup, this is exactly what I am cautious about:

More games on mobile = less games on console/handhelds and vice versa. They'll need to be able to balance the two to keep fans on both sides happy

It does, but the reason why Wii Sports was so popular (other than the fact that it was bundled with the Wii) is because it showed off the motion features of the Wiimote. On a phone, it wouldn't work the same way so though it could be popular, it wouldn't be to the extent that the Wii Sports had

To be fair, I really can't imagine they'd put really similar experiences on a phone as they do on their dedicated consoles. I'm imagining minigames or puzzles or really old retro games, not like a full-fledged Animal Crossing or Fire Emblem. I think they will be good games (probably the best on the smartphone market) but it won't be nearly the quality of their Wii U/3DS stuff.

I agree though. They have to be careful and they can't just blow their load early and waste this opportunity.

It's funny, because I'm thinking the exact opposite. More revenue from small, cheap mobile games = more funding for huge, high-quality experiences on handhelds/consoles. Even a game like Pokemon Shuffle could end up funding a 3D Metroid game in just a few months. The mobile market is crazy.

Does anyone mind if I say to the responce of the Ninten 'meltdowns'... : 3

Which game is that?

Possibly... The way I see it is that funding isn't really the main issue (they still have a lot of money in reserve) but the splitting of their workforce. Some of the DeNA staff will help develop games but Nintendo employees would also need to work for developing these games. The splitting of work = less games for consoles/handhelds.. Could be wrong though :P

Oh, uh... owo;;

... Mother 4 (fangame)

That's true. I've always thought that the reason they don't develop certain games is because they're worried that the cost to develop might exceed the profit from sales, so they're hesitant on 'lesser' IPs like Metroid or F-Zero, but if they have a more steady and secure income (like they will now that they're apart of the mobile market) this will encourage them to branch out and diversify their library more, and maybe hire more staff and development teams. It really could go either way though, we'll just have to watch everything unfold. Shouldn't be too long considering they said their first game would be released this year.
