I don't think anybody should be freaking out about Nintendo becoming Sega, abandoning traditional hardware consoles and just making mobile software. As Iwata stated, they are just making mobile games (that would be like a modified demo of a real nintendo game) so ppl around the world can appreciate Nintendo IPs more and realise how great Nintendo is.
Also, Iwata announced that they are developing a new gaming platform called 'NX' which would stand for 'Nintendo cross-platform' if you know that they merged their console and handheld divisions together. This means that Nintendo is not abandoning hardware business, but doing more with it.
Also the partnership with DeNa is for helping with the mobile games and to help Nintendo understand third parties more, so they can properly gear up for their next console which will be a handheld and home console as its codenamed 'NX' (nintendo cross-platform). I do hope that they do their next console to bring back third-parties (FINALLY!) so a nintendo console won't have to be a secondary console alongside a ps or xb or whatever. I think they should announce this in 2016 (as they stated) confirm it and release it in 2017 so that way the wii u and 3ds will have their regular console lifespan (5-6 years).
I do have faith in nintendo and they won't abandon the hardware business. They started it if u remember after they saved video games in 1985.
Nintendo just have to make sure they beef up the new handheld with also a faster processor, definetly keep 2 screens with the clamshell design...add better cameras and a higher res. touch screen and a better touch screen and a much better internet browser...they could have an option of a cellular data option too...but they must keep it as its own style but if they r ever gonna compete with the handheld market but they have to add features that a phone or tablet can do...if they do that they'll be in business as they have the games everybody loves and the functiionality of a tablet so it's like a 2 in 1. This is what will make nintendo sell
Option 1. In their next handheld add a better processor...keep the clamshell design(because how well it keeps the screen safe)with 2 screens. Add better graphics to it. Keep Physical games and also have digital games. Add a better resolution on the screens(not particularly hd but that would be nice) and finally add another analog stick. They could keep the 3d and I wouldn't mind
Option 2. make a handheld with a tablet design similar to the gamepad but not that big but same screen size tho...this would put nintendo more into the tablet market but their advantage is that they have their exclusives that no one else has. Could add a cellular data version of it too...the problem with this is price...as tablets R more expensive
This is what personally I think they should do. I do really love nintendo and their consoles and games( even the old ones e.g gamecube and n64) so I do want them to carry on with great gaming.

Re: Super Mario Maker's Packaging Sure Looks Pretty
@97alexk That was the concept art, not the actual cover art
