Nintendo Announces Financial Results for the Nine-Months Ending Dec. 31, 2009

Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News, Wii | 1 Comment

On January 28, 2009 (Japan time), Nintendo Co., Ltd. reported financial results for the first three fiscal quarters and earnings for the period ending Dec. 31, 2009, and left unchanged prior forecasts for full year global sales and profits.
The nine month figures for net sales, operating income, ordinary income, and net income represented the third best corresponding performances in company history, but they all saw a decline from the results of the prior year. The net sales and operating income declines in comparison to the record-breaking previous year primarily stem from year-on-year decreases in Wii hardware and Nintendo DS software sales, a price cut for Wii hardware, and the significant impact of a stronger yen.

Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars might have DLC fighters, but not just yet

Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 7 Comments

Adding in a character like Phoenix Wright to Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars did not seem possible originally. However, it looks like there is a chance of it happening after all. Ryota Niitsuma, the producer of Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, told Destructoid that the finger-pointing lawyer, in addition to Ingrid from Capcom Fighting Evolution, could make it into the game through downloadable content. According to Niitsuma, Nintendo would need to approve any DLC.

Don’t get too excited yet, though. Over on the Capcom-Unity forums, Senior Manager of Community Seth Killian indicated that there currently are no plans to release additional fighters. He did acknowledge, however, that “it is technically possible.”

“To answer the question, it has a lot to do with Nintendo, but it is technically possible. It is not something we’re planning at the moment, however.”
