He also revealed that Nintendo would enter the "smart device gaming business and aim to generate revenue and profit from it"

Android/iOS Mario and Zelda confirmed. I hope they have some kind of controller support, else I won't give them the time of day.

planning to invest in new attractions at theme parks that will feature Nintendo characters

Nintendo is trying to be the Disney of video games now. Sigh.

Just to clarify these two points you raise.

The Android/iOS games are not mainline franchises to date. They are working with the company DeNA to create them, and one game has already been relesaed and another announced. They are more like, social gaming. I think the idea is to use mobile platforms as a way to showcase the Nintendo quality of software, to hopefully get you to integrate your new account with your (hopefully) console purchases.

The attraction was announced earlier, and it's a partnership with Universal. It will be a "theme park" within the existing theme park. Basically the Mushroom Kingdom attraction in an already existing theme park. Nintendo doesn't actually plan to build Nintendoland... yet.
