Nintendo president Tatsumi Kimishima has revealed that he’s open to hiring other partners for mobile video game development. Currently the Kyoto-based company is using DeNA for its mobile approach but Kimishima has stated that he open to other partners. Interestingly, Gung-Ho (Puzzle and Dragons) is rumored to be one such developer.
4) About mobile partner DeNA, he says he "isn’t dissatisfied". But he also says as there will be more Nintendo apps coming while existing ones will continue to be serviced, collaborations with other companies are possible.
( I think he was never more clear about the last part.)

Just make it stop. People whined about Mario Run being too costly for 21 short ass levels that’s online-only and completed in less than 67 minutes. Pokemon Go without Trade/Battle from day one killed the app and it’s popularity faster than the Black Plague killing 27 million people. Miitomo was decent and then a year later, Nintendo wants to scrap it and now making a new MK for mobile instead of Switch. Seriously Nintendo, the mobile market is not working out as intended so just stop. It’s a cesspool of freemium trash with IAPs and ads all over.

Still silent and self-racist much?
Yes but please do a Star Fox mobile game
That reminds me of another game. What happened to the Bravely Default mobile game? We haven’t heard that in a while.
Really? Never heard about this until you wrote it to me
That’s because it’s not happening. Never heard of such rumor.
They just recently made Bravely Second. I’m sure a third game is being worked on right now.
That could work. Hell, they can even port that garbage Zero to mobile without changing much.
