Nintendo will release some amiibo figurines as “limited-time offers”
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News, Wii U | 15 Comments
Not all amiibo figures will be freely available. During Nintendo’s financial results briefing yesterday, president Satoru Iwata mentioned that some amiibo will be offered as “limited-time offers”.
Iwata said:
The amiibo figure lineup for “Super Smash Bros.” will continue to be released even after this year-end sales season, and we hope that this will help to update store shelves. As store shelf space is limited, some amiibo will remain stocked on the shelves as staple choices while some will be limited-time offers which will cede their positions to new ones once they are sold out.
Iwata did not elaborate beyond this. It’ll be interesting to see which figures are limited!

Update: Bumped to the top. Added two more images. We also have a reconfirmation about the following amiibo compatibility (thanks Chandler B):
– Mario, Peach and Yoshi work with Mario Party 10
– Yoshi also works with Yoshi’s Woolly World
The images above were taken at a promotion area for amiibo inside Walmart. The third image includes silhouettes for Pikmin and Tom Nook. Might this be a sign that they’ll be getting their own figurines at some point in the future?

Nintendo has $4.5 billion in the bank and $9.67 billion in assets; generated over $220 million in profits in Q2
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News | 37 Comments
Things are looking up for Nintendo. Wii U sales rose in the last financial quarter, and the company is currently profitable.
Gamnesia also points out that, at the moment, Nintendo has ¥487,559 million ($4.5 billion) in cash and deposits. Throwing in short term investments like budgets for games on the horizon and other factors means that current assets are valued at ¥1,045,765 million ($9.67 billion).
The good news doesn’t end there! During the second financial quarter, Nintendo saw a net profit of $132 million. The company experienced a loss of $90 million in the first quarter, so Nintendo ended up gaining roughly $222 million in quarter two.
