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.

Nintendo’s latest financial results are in. The company has now reported data for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015.
Here’s a breakdown of Nintendo’s performance:
Nintendo Q4 Results:

Net Income: -¥17.672 billion yen
Nintendo Full-Year Guidance:
Net Sales: ¥550 billion yen
Operating Income: ¥20 billion yen
Net Income: ¥30 billion yen
Nintendo Full-Year Results:
Net Sales: ¥549.780 billion yen (?)
Operating Income: ¥24.770 billion yen (?)

Additional Information Q4 (Software/Hardware Shipments, Digital Sales, Cash & Equivalents):

One of the big takeaways here is that Nintendo has finally returned to a full-year profit. The company also beat estimates from the financial community. For the overall year, Wii U sales are up, though 3DS sales fell a bit. A large part of Nintendo’s success resulted from the popularity of amiibo.

Tasukete Tako-San: Save me Mr Tako creator wants to bring the game to New 3DS
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, New Nintendo 3DS, News | 0 comments
Tasukete Tako-San: Save me Mr Tako is coming to Wii U, but a 3DS version hasn’t been announced thus far. Thanks to the announcement of Unity support for the New 3DS, that could change in the future.
Creator Christophe Galati indicated to Always Nintendo that he is “really hoping” to make Tasukete Tako-San: Save me Mr Tako for 3DS at some point. Wii U was chosen as his main option because “3DS wasn’t a viable option at the time”, though being able to run Unity on Nintendo’s newest handheld would remedy the situation.
Galati’s full words are as follows:
Yeah, when I heard that news I was really happy. The whole reason for choosing to bring Tako to Wii U was because 3DS wasn’t a viable option at the time, but since this game is obviously a tribute to Game Boy games, I definitely envisioned it as a handheld experience. I’m really hoping to bring it to 3DS eventually.
