Anything sold on Wii U this fiscal year will be a bonus.

Software plans for the year are attached to the article. Note: Dr. Kawashima's Devilish Brain Training is still on the docket for Europe.

Almost 400m for digital sales is pretty nice. The Amiibo money is good (but not something to be relied on) and 1.8m copies of FE Fates without EU is insane. Other numbers are shitty though...

Overall, kinda decent results, I guess? Hope the NX can turn the table, although I really won't bet on it.

Nintendo'll be coasting for most of this new fiscal year, as far as we can see.


Good to see they are staying above the red.

Dr. Kawashima's Devlish Brain Training has been cancelled for Europe since last month.
This sucks for me because i bought a 3ds years ago to play this title. But that's what you get for being a Nintendo fan.

It's still listed "TBA" on the release schedule, for some inexplicable reason.

Do we put any stock in Project Giant Robot still being listed, without even a release year attached? Is that just business-speak for "this is in limbo for now"?

What happened to Rhythm Heaven on 3DS?

Splatoon has sold over 4 million copies. That means it sold to roughly one third of all Wii U owners. Thats pretty good

What happened to Rhythm Heaven on 3DS?

Listed in Europe, so I don't know. Probably sneaks out in the E3 press kit (such as it will be) anyway.

Splatoon has sold over 4 million copies. That means it sold to roughly one third of all Wii U owners. Thats pretty good

A new IP getting a 30+% attach rate? Mind blowing.

Those sound like some ambitious projections for software...
