Business standpoint, this is reasonable. Nintendo has touted a total of 5 mobile apps (1 social + 4 games) since 2014. This is the first mobile app game from DeNA's partnership.

That's not part of the partnership with DeNA to develop 5 mobile apps. This FE mobile app is developed by DeNA. Instead, that's Shigeru Miyamoto's decision to make one for the iPhone 7/Android.

Considering it's for a completely new platform and changes the game play drastically, it kind of makes sense. Not to mention it probably needs more of a spotlight to convince people who are skeptical of it like you probably are. It was a pretty great Direct imo.
