Haven't they learned their lessons? Their focus at young children will not work in the long run. Everywhere these children goes they see other children playing games on other consoles with flashier graphics.

Yeah because only kids played Pokemon Go...

We haven't seen yet a orchestrated launch of a mobile game before a connected dedicated-device-game. Interesting in this case are the numbers of Pokemon Sun/Moon. Competitiors like Bethesda already had a huge success with their mobile game advertising Fallout 4 and even made millions with the mobile game itself. Even if it is just a small success…Nintendo earns money and saves money for advertising. Win-Win.

In whatever way they make money, I just hope they use it to make some quality games and not even more shovelware. Very disappointed with their current output.

Games like Zelda: BOTW shows that they are still making quality games. All these "shovelware" games are made by smaller teams just to have something for the WiiU and 3DS. Just wait until the 3D Mario devs, Retro Studios, Monolith Soft etc start revealing their new games for the NX.

I thought Pokemon Go was a mobile game only

It is. Those kinda games are what Nintendo does best. Games that can be played by anyone. There are several more mature games on the WiiU, but they usually dont do very well.

I don't think it will work though.

Yes there has been a boost in pokemon games and 3DS hardware sales because of pokemon GO, but that's minimal in comparison to the overall decline of this gen.

I don't think that just putting Nintendo games on smart devices will change things.

I'm predicting another decline in sales for the Next Nintendo generation. And a big shift to mobile games. Also, most "mature" IPs like Metroid are going to disappear or be retooled as games for broader audience (like Federation Forces).

This is the trend Nintendo is in, and they're going to stop.

That's why this isn't the only part of their initiative to create more exposure of their IPs. I think you know by now what else they are doing besides mobile so this is part of the their plans. Plus we don't know crap about NX yet nor the games they'll make besides BotW to go along with games like Sonic 2017, DQXI, and Just Dance 2017 that are already confirmed for NX, so predictions are useless. Considering what happened to the DS, Vita, PSP, Xbone, and Wii, predictions are useless until we see how these devices affect the industry.

The PS2 had a lot of games that were focused on graphics
