Kyoto Shimbun published a new interview with Nintendo president Tatsumi Kimishina. Kimishima talked 3DS, movies, confirmed that the sleep-tracking device is still in the works, and more. 

First, when asked about Switch’s success, Kimishima said it has surpassed Nintendo’s expectations. The method of play in which the system can be carried outside despite being a home console has been accepted by people. Once again, Nintendo wants to raise its sales forecast to over 20 million units this year, exceeding the FY2017 expectation of 14 million units. If the goals for FY2017 are reached, then Kimishima thinks Nintendo can change the business flow (from the slumping Wii U), so Nintendo wants to improve this momentum.

The next global mission in Pokemon Ultra Sun and Pokemon Ultra Moon has started. The new theme is “Win at the Battle Agency!”.

For the latest mission, the goal is to win as many times as possible at the Battle Agency in Festival Plaza, with 100,000 being the target. Everyone who participates will receive 2,000 Festival Coins if players win a collective 100,000 times between January 9 and January 22. Even if the goal isn’t reached, a participation prize of 1,000 Festival Coins will be handed out.

You can earn double the amount of coins by registering at the Pokemon Global Link by the end of the global mission. That means you can receive 4,000 when the goal is reached, and 2,000 even if it isn’t.
