Two brand new consoles arrived last month, and are off to phenomenal starts. Yet in spite of the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One launches, Nintendo’s own business “is doing just fine”.

Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime shared some terse but clear words when asked about Wii U and state of the company’s business.

He told The New York Times:

“Our business is doing just fine, thank you very much, despite the competitive launches.”

Reggie’s comment came about as part of a larger article regarding strong sales of the new consoles. However, the piece also covers the Wii U’s struggles.

DFC Intelligence analyst David Cole shared the following statement about Wii U:

“It has been really amazing how disappointing it has been. They clearly need to take a real hard look at themselves and what they did.”

None of Level-5’s Inazuma Eleven games have launched in North America. But that may be changing in the future, if a new trademark is any indication.

Level-5 registered a trademark for Inazuma Eleven in the US way back in January 2010. That filing has since expired, but a new trademark has popped up recently. The latest trademark is similar to the previous one, but with an additional provision for use with animated entertainment and online distribution.

Not quite sure what Warner Bros. is up to here. It seems too early for a new Batman game announcement…
