Nintendo develops hardware to support their IPs just as much as they alter their games to take advantage of each generation of hardware. Each generation of console adds a new method of adding input to the game. Each generation they evolve both evolve their existing IPs to best take advantage of the new hardware and develop their hardware to best support the development of their IPs. For example the C buttons for the N64 controller were added to solve the cameras issues encountered during the development of Mario 64. This is lost on a lot people. The pairing of Nintendo hardware and software developed as a package to compliment each other is a huge part of Nintendo's success. Just look at the Mario service and see how many times its been reinvented using the same basic controls, running and jumping. All of those reinventions were developed in tangent with new hardware. I suppose my point is, putting Nintendo's IPs on mobile or another console destroys what has allowed the IPs to remain so successful for so long. It would make both Nintendo's hardware and software less valuable.
