I don't really think Nintendo would just abandon their most succesful market, specially when it's still profitable (not Wii-DS profitable, but just regular profitable). Even if mobile games are dominating, Nintendo is mostly popular with handhelds. Even the Wii couldn't outsell the DS or the GameBoy. Unless they are not worht it anymore, Nintendo will keep handhelds going, even if they have to combine it with mobile strategies and hybrid hardware.

Fair enough, we'll see how it all turns out soon enough.

Lol.Nintendo has said time and time again that theu wont put "AAA" games on smartphones.So if they dont bring the handhels to the west, the audience that once played on the handhels wont move ober to mobile, they will simply fade.And handheld does very well on the west.So no, if they make another handheld, which they most likely will, they will bring it to the west.

Nintendo also said time and time again that they wouldn't bring anything to any smartphone at all. They also said they won't bury the Gameboy because of the DS, the DS is just kind of a third pillar. They also said they won't ever do DLC. Guess how all of that turned out? I'm not relying on the marketing jibberish of any company. I mean, it's not like I'm mad for them for lying. Of course they can't go out and say "lulz, we won't be supporting systems x and y from this and that date on!" - no one would buy their systems anymore and just wait for the future. So lying is really the only thing they can do. So I'm not mad, but I also don't trust them one bit.
