Splatoon 3 has been off to a strong start worldwide, but in Japan, the game has really been dominating. Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa spoke about why the game’s initial sales were higher than expected in the region during a financial results briefing Q&A this week.
Furukawa brought up the “market environment” that picked up during the summer plus the release of Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak as well as releases like Xenoblade Chronicles 3, Kirby’s Dream Buffet, and the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass.

Nintendo has shipped over 77 million amiibo figures
Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
amiibo figures have been an important product for Nintendo since the product started in 2014, and we now have confirmation that total shipments have surpassed 77 million. That information comes president Shuntaro Furukawa, who shared the news during a financial results briefing today.
Although Nintendo has slowed down on the amount of amiibo it releases, we still continue to see new figures. The Super Smash Bros. Ultimate line is still coming out with amiibo even though DLC support ended last year.
