After two years of difficulties, the tides begin to change. Suddenly, Nintendo reported an $86 million profit for the second fiscal quarter of 2014 and Satoru Iwata triumphantly returns from his leave of absence after getting a tumor removed.
But these small victories are short lived once Iwata opens his mouth and explained why the U.S. and Europe have to wait for the New 3DS.
