As part of today’s financial results, Nintendo included a section of text that acts as an outlook for the next fiscal year.

Nintendo mentions that it will look to maintain the performance of already-released games for Wii U and 3DS and bring out new titles for their systems. That means DLC for games like Smash Bros., brand new first-party experiences, and “a number of key titles” from third-parties. The new Rhythm Heaven is mentioned, so people are speculating that it’s coming west. I’m personally not ready to go that far yet!

Nintendo has a few other plans in store for this fiscal year. The company will introduce cards, the Yoshi amiibo, and NFC Reader/Writer accessory for regular 3DS systems. Nintendo is also counting on a new source of revenue in the mobile space.

Head past the break to read up on Nintendo’s outlook below.

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.
