Ye
Honestly, not bad…
Nintendo is rising again after the Wii U calamity!
This is very promissing considering the WiiU was basically non existant this last quarter, if the Switch gets Pokemon Stars then you can garantee 10 million sales in a single month. At this point I imagine Nintendo telling Gamefreak to get a move on and make Stars a reality considering the massive proffit that Sun and Moon brought the company I mean damn almost 4 million 3ds sold in this last quarter that is insanely good for a 6 year old portable system.
Everyone’s saying Pokemon Stars, and I’m actually hoping for Z. I freaking love the Kalos region. And if they added more, that’d be awesome.
Gray, Z, Stars… It never happens nowadays. But they definitely have to do something for Switch, and ports of sun/moon are the most probable option.
“Gray” was Black/White 2.
it sounds better then it is, if it was not for mobile, pokemon, and some padding from 3DS then they would be hurting, pokemon itself already padding as they dont own pokemon. thank god for run, and pokemon go
Actually, Nintendo owns publishing rights of Pokemon just like how Sony owns publishing rights of God of War & the Nathan Drake series or how Sega owns publishing rights of Bayonetta. They have say so of where these games go. So they actually do own Pokemon.
they only do on nintendo systems.
Nintendo (publisher) & GameFreak (developers) are partners when it comes to Pokemon so both companies own a piece of Pokemon. All the smartphone games, video games, cards, merchandise, etc wouldn’t exist if the Big N & GF didn’t agree on them. DENA wouldn’t even be making stuff like Pokemon GO if those two didn’t agree on it.
And yet the share price is down 3.3%.
200,000 Wii U sales in the last qtr and they can’t even put out the DLC they said they would last year for MK8.
uuuuuh, and how old is mk8?

200k Wii U sales last quarter totaling 13.56m life time sales? Truly pathetic. Least Wii U makes the Gamecube look all the better!
200K wii U why I am not surprise. Nintendo really drop the ball. In fact I am right to say there were not software release for this system in 2016???? I just try to think which major software was release this year… if there is one It was so discret that I don’t even remember. I think the last software release I remember is Yoshi wolly… or Mario Maker???
Twilight Princess HD, Color Splash, Star Fox, and Soul Axium and the newest iteration of Skylanders comes to mind. Probably more. A quiet year but still had notable releases.
Ok I thought there were 2015 and not 2016. Thanks for the info.
Where is the huge loss of money because of federation force :(
