So it seems like there were two trains of though when it came to Nintendo going mobile
- Abandon dedicated hardware and go completely mobile/third party; mainline Pokemon, Fire Emblem, etc on iPhones and Android devices, etc
or
- Release mobile games using Nintendo IP on mobile platforms that tie in to the "mainline" games on dedicated Nintendo devices. So you will get games like Pokemon Shuffle but not necessarily a new Pokemon. You may get one of the older nes mario games but not necessarily Super Mario 3D Land.
Am I correct that the latter is now happening? This is somewhat hard to follow.
