Performance is temporarily getting better, you can’t get a true feel for Mario on smartphone or tablet, and this would also lead to a decrease in brand value over the long term.
TNS - NCSoft CEO admitted that AI is rapidly becoming a core part of game development, but he added that it cannot replace what makes games fun.
To be fair, there are also human made games that release and lack any fun at all either.

Nintendo software exist solely to sale Nintendo hardware as Nintendo is primarily a hardware company.
I don't see people who game on Sony hardware asking for Sony franchises to be put on smart phone. Why would people want this of Nitnendo? Wouldn't an iPhone/iPad version of Little Big Planet make money?
It's true, their hardware sucks. Their games are great. So dropping Mario titles on a tablet or phone would likely depreciate their brand value.
To play the devil's advocate, ea, capcom, square enix etc. Release some of their classics on smart phones and it didn't harm their brands that much.
You could argue that classic pokemon games would play perfectly on a touchscreen without any compromission. Still am very against abandoning the traditional buttons for touchscreens for gaming in general.
i agree with nintendo it will decrease their brand value 4sur...
Their stock price would double if they did this and they would lose no value. Hardware sales might go down, but the software sales would come back in the triple making more money then the hardware sales.
Look how big the smartphone market is and throw in official Nintendo games on their digital stores and BOOM! Huge gains.
This would be my idea for Nintendo go 3rd party, but still make hardware cause people will buy your hardware no matter what cause its cheap and family friendly, you wouldn't worry about your kids breaking a 3DS, but with Galaxies and Iphones that is a different story.
Keep making hardware and go 3rd party, but give scarps like old Pokemon games and Mario as your third party support.
