Nyamyam says Tengami sales on Wii U “have been somewhat disappointing”

Update: Nyamyam also added the following on Twitter…
I think people are reading a little bit too much into Phil saying the Wii U sales were disappointing, as he doesn't give a reference point..
— Nyamyam (@nyamyamgames) December 30, 2014
..for what good sales would have looked like.
— Nyamyam (@nyamyamgames) December 30, 2014
Sales number X might be disappointing to Phil, but good news for another developer.
— Nyamyam (@nyamyamgames) December 30, 2014
Nyamyam hasn’t disclosed any specific sales figures for Tengami, but the studio says that the game’s performance on Wii U has been “somewhat disappointing”.
Co-creator Phil Tossell told Nintendo Life in a recent interview:
Tengami has done very well for us on iOS. No doubt the worldwide Editor’s Choice was a large contributing factor. I hate to think what might have happened had we not been featured. I’d say that the Wii U sales have been somewhat disappointing. Although we had much lower expectations than iOS, I think even taking that into consideration we’ve been disappointed with the sales so far.
Tengami has been out on Wii U for about two months. Hopefully the game’s sales can pick up over time!

What we know about the cancelled N64 title Doom Absolution
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 1 Comment
Back in the day, Midway San Diego and id Software were planning Doom Absolution – otherwise known as the sequel to Doom 64.
According to Unseen64, Doom Absolution would have been a multiplayer-focused game. The original intention was to develop a 2-player deathmatch mode.
Doom Absolution ended up seeing cancellation in 1997, though it was still in early development at the time. While not confirmed, the project may have been canned since the Doom engine looked dated and the team decided to work on the Quake 64 port instead.

Reggie on Nintendo’s performance and sales, high-demand amiibo, more
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Wii U | 15 Comments
Last week, The Seattle Times put up a few new quotes from Reggie Fils-Aime. The Nintendo of America addressed the company’s performance and talked a bit about sales, high-demand amiibo, and more.
You’ll find a roundup of Reggie’s comments below. You can find The Seattle Times’ full article here.
On whether Nintendo is now on a rebound…
“(Nintendo is) doing better this year than we did last year. The way I would frame it: Our goal is to drive an ongoing positive trajectory. Certainly with the momentum we’re seeing with our hardware, the momentum we’re seeing with our key software titles, that gives us a lot of confidence.”
