Nintendo hat kürzlich seinen Finanzbericht des vergangenen Jahres veröffentlicht, der besser als erwartet ausgefallen ist. Zudem sagt er mehr Profit für das kommende Jahr vorher, obwohl erwartet wird, dass die Zahlen der Nintendo 3DS Familie geringer ausfallen werden.
For "Nintendo 3DS" and "Wii U," in addition to maintaining the performance of already-released titles with strong sales potential, new titles will continue to be introduced in order to further expand the installed bases. Specifically, by sequentially introducing additional download content for blockbuster titles such as "Mario Kart 8" and "Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U," we aim to keep these titles played more actively. For "Nintendo 3DS," the exclusive "New Nintendo 3DS/New Nintendo 3DS XL" title "Xenoblade Chronicles 3D," and other first party titles such as "Rhythm Tengoku (temp.)" and "New Fire Emblem Game (temp.)" will be released. In addition, a number of key titles from third party publishers are scheduled for release. For "Wii U," in addition to titles such as "Splatoon" and "Yoshi's Woolly World," "Mario Maker (temp.)" which offers a new taste to the 2D Mario series will be released this year marking the 30th year since the launch of the original "Super Mario Bros." game.
Meanwhile, for "amiibo," which was launched last year, new "amiibo" cards and yarn-knitted "amiibo" will be added to the "amiibo" lineup. We aim to stimulate demand for "amiibo" by expanding compatible software titles and by releasing the Nintendo 3DS NFC Reader/Writer accessory for Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo 3DS XL and Nintendo 2DS.
In addition, a new source of revenue is expected from a gaming application for smart devices which will be released this year.
In dem Abschnitt über die grundlegenden Pläne für das kommende Jahr, erwähnt Nintendo, dass sie besonderen Wert auf weitere DLC-Pakete für Mario Kart 8 und Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS & Wii U legen, um diese Spiele weiterhin interessant zu halten. Zudem werden bereits Einnahmen aus Applikationen für Smartphones erwartet.
Wir dürfen also gespannt sein wie sich das kommende Jahr entwickeln wird und welche Überraschungen Nintendo noch für uns bereithält.
