Well… that’s going to further hit the profitability of Nintendo’s mobile games division. That division already has pretty mediocre-by-comparison returns. They are quite good for a mobile game, but a drop in the bucket compared to Switch products and not worth the time to focus on. Rumor has it that Nintendo is probably going to shut down that division and their mobile games soon. They are already adding the MK Tour tracks into MK 8 as part of the Booster Course Pass.

It's already heavily against Nintendo's DNA to produce for platforms that aren't their own[1]. They are very much like Apple in that respect. Given that the mobile thing would have had to be tremendously beneficial to avoid the knife. So you are very right, this is probably the end for Nintendo's mobile gaming efforts. [1]: The book "Super Mario: How Nintendo Conquered America" by Jeff Ryan was incredibly fascinating if you're interested in the history and "inside story" of Nintendo in their early days. Can't recommend enough. Narrated by the great Ray Porter, and DRM free on Downpour: https://www.downpour.com/super-mario?sp=19981 https://www.downpour.com/super-mario?sp=19981
