With Nintendo releasing its latest financial results today, president and CEO Satoru Iwata appeared for a press conference to follow up on the company’s performance.

Naturally, the topic of games was something that came up quite often. Iwata stressed the importance of upcoming Wii U titles for the holidays, stating that Nintendo’s performance hinges on the sales of new titles like Super Mario 3D World. After the results are reviewed, Nintendo executives will determine “what the company needs to do, over the long-term, about its platform.”

Iwata said:


Yesterday, a small indie team launched its “The Girl and the Robot” Kickstarter. The new game is a third-person, action-adventure title set in a fantasy world.

“The game brings the thrills of classic games such as The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Ico, and pairs them with the sense of wonder and adventure found in animated movies such as those from Studio Ghibli,” the project’s Kickstarter states.

Nintendo fans will be pleased to hear that the team plans to talk with the Big N about releasing The Girl and the Robot on Wii U. Nothing is set in stone, though I can’t see anything preventing a release on the system.

You can check out the official The Girl and the Robot Kickstarter here. $15,000 CAD needs to be raised by November 28. Over $3,000 CAD has been collected thus far.

Club Nintendo has received a Halloween makeover just ahead of the event tomorrow. You can check it out here. It’s nothing too major, but the front page has been updated, and the buttons now have an orange coloring.

Target is carrying on with its annual “Buy 2, Get 1 Free” sale. The offer will be valid between November 10 and November 16. Note that the ad above highlights PlayStation 4 titles, but all in-stock games will be included in the sale.
