Nintendo outlook for the next fiscal year
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, New Nintendo 3DS, News, Wii U | 0 comments
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.
