According to claims from the Bloomberg portal, Nintendo plans to return the focus to games for consoles and will no longer run mobile applications.
In the last four years, Nintendo has set a precedent and delivered its franchises to players who do not own the company's console. Super Mario, Animal Crossing, Fire Emblem, and Mario Kart received their mobile editions. Some were very successful, and some quickly fell into oblivion, such as Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp and the long-lost Miitomo.
This inconsistency in quality and performance seems to have led Nintendo executives to conclude that it would be wiser to focus on games that will boost Switch console sales. According to the Bloomberg portal, during the coronavirus pandemic, Nintendo recorded a great demand for Switch consoles, primarily due to two Switch exclusives: Animal Crossing: New Horizons and Ring Fit Adventure. Earnings from these games and console sales exceeded Nintendo’s mobile hits (not counting Pokemon GO), so the company decided to return the focus to console games.
Of course, this should not be taken immediately as if Nintendo * will never * make a game for mobile platforms again. It just means that such a thing is no longer in the plan for the near future. Who knows, maybe the successor to the Switch console is Nintendo’s first cell phone?
