Nintendo is finally developing smartphone games
Nintendo started experimenting with free-to-play games featuring paid downloadable content (DLC) last year. In addition, it recently licensed its characters to developer GungHo for a 3DS-only version of Puzzles and Dragons. Nintendo will take a ten percent stake in DeNA, which runs a popular Japanese mobile gaming portal and has created notable mobile spinoffs for games like Final Fantasy. It's also responsible for popular standalone mobile games like Blood Brothers. (In exchange, DeNA will buy 1.24 percent of Nintendo.) The companies said that "all Nintendo IP will be eligible for development and exploration" in the new partnership. They'll also create an online membership service à la Steam for smartphones, tablets, PCs and Nintendo systems, including the Wii U and 3DS consoles.

Pool I can see this working but they won't make any profits
Why not? I know there are millions of people who loves Ninteno's games, but they will never buy nintendo's consoles, so that's the main problem.
Their game = winner
Their console = failure
Only 90's kids will understand.

Unless Nintendo targets a different demographic, they're not going to see any dramatic change in profits being made.
