If anything this should make them invest more heavily into the mobile market. But I think they should stay focused on dedicated gaming hardware, for now at least.

I see mobile as being Nintendo's replacement for the dwindling handheld market and for their handheld and console hardware to coalesce under one platform to take over for their overall hardware offerings. Mobile will probably account for a significant portion of their revenue while Nintendo can leverage the platform to funnel people over to their hardware. It'll be a symbiotic relationship; Nintendo hardware can be used to boost the brand value of their IPs/create new IPs through great games that they can tailor to their hardware while they can both advertise and further profit off of the value of those IPs through mobile.
I don't think it will effect too much because they already had plan for mobile market.
I'm on anniversary vacation in Nashville with my wife. I have never seen so many people doing one common thing in my life. There are more people here breathing than doing Go, buy not by much. I've never seen anything like this. Go to any major city location and try to tell yourself this is going to go away quick lol.
I don't see how this could possibly affect Nintendo to the negative side. They can just form more and more partnerships to create more small mobile studios. Doesn't take many resources to make a smart phone game.
