Their stock went down a little when they announced they don't actually own Pokemon. Still the prospect of doing something mobile with Mario, Zelda, and their other big name properties should keep them going strong for a long time.

Eh, yes and no. They own a a majority stake in Pokemon Co. and both Gamefreak and Creatures, who both own Pokemon. They also own all of the trademarks, copyrights, etc.

The ownership is complicated, and honestly, I think they are now underestimating the impact Go will have long term.

Aside from Mario Party and Warioware, I don't really see what you can do with these franchises, especially Zelda. I don't see a way to make a good Zelda game feasible on a phone.
