Nintendo seems to have understood that the market for mobile devices is very juicy and they cannot afford to give it up, more in its delicate current state as a result of the little success of its WiiU console and the uncertain future of the next Nintendo NX. The Japanese company would be working on new controls for smartphones and tablets, possibly they are the perfect accessory for future Nintendo games on these platforms, it is not ruled out that Pokémon GO is the beginning of a wide catalog of company games for mobile devices.

Tatsumi Kimishima, president of Nintendo, has already announced that the Japanese company is studying the possibility of getting involved in new projects in the future that will require the participation and support of its partners, and not just their human resources. An affirmation that opens the door to the manufacture of hardware for mobile devices that would allow them to expand their possibilities before the new Nintendo games, their titles do not adapt well to touch screens, so they require physical controls to be used, This is where the possible controls that the company is developing come into play.
