As Emily Rogers just said, games like Style Savvy, Brain Age, Nintendogs, Art Academy, Pushmo, etc could benefit greatly from this, that way their big guns wouldn't be devalued.

Pretty sure the report said no ports, just new IPs. |
Not just new IPs. They will also use existing IPs, but the games will be developed for mobile separately, no ports of already existing games.
DeNA now owns 1% of Nintendo and Nintendo owns 10% of DeNA.
And Sony owns 13% of DeNA, lol.
Sony is also apparently making the Super Mario CG movie.
Might as well just support Sony platforms while you're at it.

They'll have to be new games. Almos every Nintendo game recquires good controlls to play, just imagine a Mario game without buttons. Nintendo will have to develope a new way to get precise mevement on the games without buttons.

Emily Rogers can say what she wants, it sounds like that isn't going to be the case though. Iwata specifically said no Nintendo IP is off limits for smartphone during the presser.
Nintendo is doing this to make money.
They are going to make a ton of money off things like Animal Crossing, Mario Kart, New Super Mario, Amiibo, etc. on iOS/Android and they know it.

An App starring Mario, like Puzzles and Dragons, is one thing. Actually making a mobile Mario Kart title would be quite another, and monumentally stupid.
This is the beginning of the end?

True. You don't bring your big titles in your main competitors machine. The games will be similar to puzzle games.

I guess Nintendo will be crying all the way to the bank about it then.
This isn't some small little deal either, it's a capital investment, Nintendo now owns 10% of DeNA, and DeNA is a pretty huge company. DeNA even owns a small stake in Nintendo.
It's going to be the big gun IP, just tailored for the smartphone format. Again they're also stressing they want to do this to introduce Nintendo characters to wider audiences ... so it's gonna be Mario, Pikachu, etc.

Again though, there is a big difference between introducing characters/IPs and actually bringing the games themselves to smart devices.
