NintendObserver’s select content on the fiscal year ending March 2016.
"We are planning with the expectation that NX sales will compensate for much of the impact on sales from reduced Wii U hardware sales."
"We will be putting out applications that use IP from actual games, so it will be a decent value for the fiscal year ending March 2017."
"The launch of NX is not the only project which requires funds, and we want to prioritize using it on projects that make use of our IP."
"Our approach is that we should wait until we can provide a fully realized experience rather than rushing to launch in the holiday season."
"How the game is played connects to the future of the IP."
"I believe that Miitomo reaching 10 million unique users in the short time since its release shows that it has achieved the level we had planned."
"Selling at a loss at launch would not support the business, so we are keeping that in mind in developing NX."
"Of course, Mr. Miyamoto, our Creative Fellow, is also supporting the business for smart devices from a company-wide perspective."
"Consumers playing Miitomo are gradually creating their own Nintendo Accounts."
"We selected two titles of different categories and IP to reach as many consumers as possible."
"The positive aspect of lowering the projected sales of Wii U hardware to 800,000 units is that it allows us to focus on the Nintendo 3DS system."
"As president and, then, the chairman of Nintendo of America, I personally observed the great efforts and contributions that Mr. Lincoln made during the past 17 years as the team’s CEO and the chairman."
"The purpose of introducing an executive officer system is to separate business decision-making and oversight from business execution, and to delegate authority for executing business."
"We expect that the launch of new applications using the Fire Emblem andAnimal Crossing IPs will expand our membership even more."
"We are working to provide a high-quality experience optimized to smart devices."
"We plan to greatly reduce the amount of Wii U systems produced and shipped for the fiscal year ending March 2017, compared to the fiscal year ended March 2016."
"More than half of these downloads came from the American market."
"Even after the start of the calendar year, the Splatoon series amiibo have continued to sell well, with sales approaching one million units in Japan alone."
"The 13th Splatfest, held from April 23rd to the 24th in Japan, saw around 790,000 participants, a record number."
"Nintendo platform titles hold the top nine spots, including two Wii U titles and seven Nintendo 3DS titles."
