"Just become an Apple/Android dev" is consistently one of the worst arguments people make with respect to Nintendo. Mobile games, by and large, are garbage because of the platform, not the devs.
Pokemon Go and Super Mario Run only enjoyed popularity because of the reputation both franchises built on console/handheld. Take that away, and Nintendo do becomes just another Zynga - rehashing simple games because the platform doesn't support anything better and the customer expects it practically for free.
