Nintendo have just released their annual report for the financial year which just concluded for them on June 30, and on the whole, it's more or less good news for them.
The Nintendo Switch is potentially nearing its lifespan, and several Wii U games haven't found their way over as ports yet.
I think it's better to leave games like AC: Amiibo Festival and Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash forgotten on the Wii U. Best case, they are mediocre games; worse case, they are very bad. It was a dark time for the Wii U, and the first only exists to sell Amiibo cards, whereas the second was put together in a couple of months with a shoestring budget, and it shows.
The rest of the list does have some really cool games, though. I would love to see a remake of Star Fox Zero with decent controls, and Xenoblade X doesn't require that much modification to work.
Same as Paper Mario color splash. One of the best wiiu games and getting even better with dual screen. Same reason why i prefer Splatoon 1
This article leaves out Nintendo's most controversial game to date devils Third.
I personally found the cover system really fun in that one compared to at the time most fps games completely lacking one.
Kirby is always ignored or forgotten by people, so good to see it mentioned here.
Play Kirby Canvas Curse on DS, and then play Rainbow Curse on Wii U, they're really fun and unique 'platformers' without any actual jumping.
Hanzala from eXputer: "The cruel hammer of Nintendo has fallen. Farewell, 3DS and Wii U, you surely brightened my life and many others; you won't be forgotten."
A new list goes over eight of the the most useless amiibo, ranging from the Shadow Mewtwo card to the Qbby figure.
This is the way to present numbers. Neat, no fuss, no BS. Microsoft and Sony should learn from Nintendo.
I wonder what's left for Wii U...
We have rumors of Darksiders 1 coming alongside a few others, but I'm hoping they'll have something to boost the numbers another mil or so before the holiday season is done and over with.
The 3DS, though, is doing just swell. I'm sure the recent release of Monster Hunter Generations will also provide a boost to it.
@Segata/LOLWUT: I wasn't thinking of indie games, but on reconsidering, those are good ones to list as well.^_^
Nice of Nintendo to give us hardware numbers for ALL their major platforms on the market. If only Sony and Microsoft could follow their lead.
* The Japanese in their culture are better at owning up to mistakes than we here in America....they seem to have a bit more honor...even at the business level.
It makes sense they would still report honestly even when the sales are bad in some cases.
It's a good example to set and I wish Sony & especially Microsoft would be more open and honest about the sales numbers.
I don't care about sales numbers though.......I could be the only person to buy a NX and I'll still enjoy it even if nobody else buys it.
