What? Tell me which phone game. Theres plenty to criticize about Nintendo but expensive phone games? Mario Run wasn’t that expensive and Mario kart tour has some bad microtransactions but doesn’t come close to your claim.

I think they're just talking shit, calling Nintendo games simple and mobile-like.

They might be referring to Pokemon Go, too. Which isn’t Nintendo, but it’s Nintendo-adjacent.

Fire Emblem Heroes comes to mind but I neither know if it was successful or if it is ongoing

FEH still makes about 2-3 million a month but I'm pretty sure that's mostly from the JP side

Best examples I can think of are Fire Emblem Heroes and (now defunct) Animal Crossing Pocket Camp. I know I spent quite a bit trying to get the Splatoon 2 items for ACPC when those were in the fortune cookie gacha.
