Nintendo’s latest financial results are in. The company has now reported data for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015.
Here’s a breakdown of Nintendo’s performance:

One of the big takeaways here is that Nintendo has finally returned to a full-year profit. The company also beat estimates from the financial community. For the overall year, Wii U sales are up, though 3DS sales fell a bit. A large part of Nintendo’s success resulted from the popularity of amiibo.

Update: Target inaccurate, Amazon pre-order info – Rumor: Target stores to have pretty decent amount of Jigglypuff amiibo
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, Rumors | 2 Comments
Update (5/6): It’s unfortunately looking like numbers going around for Target’s amiibo stock are inaccurate. There’s a much more in-depth explanation on Reddit, but anything you heard yesterday was incorrect. We may see half of what was originally reported (ex: a store getting 16 units instead of 32), but even that isn’t confirmed.
In brighter news, it sounds like Amazon wants to get things right with upcoming pre-orders. Figures will be limited to one per customer, and reservations will be going live “during normal business hours (pacific time)”.
Did you miss out on Target’s incredibly brief online pre-order periods for the Jigglypuff amiibo? Well, we may have some good news for you!
It’s not officially confirmed, but one Reddit user has started informing users on the site about in-store inventory for Jigglypuff. This person’s own store is on track to have 24 units (along with 4 for Robin, 4 for Lucina, 12 silver Marios, 12 for Pac-Man, 8 for Charizard, 8 for Wario, and 4 of each Splatoon figure). Most locations seem to be getting anywhere from 12 to 32 units.
Numbers will vary by store, but Jigglypuff is definitely looking like it will be one of the more well-stocked amiibo at Target. That’s surely a good thing given how this figure will only be sold at Target in the United States.
