Nintendo's annual fiscal earning press conference happened early in the morning and we learned quite a bit about the state of the gaming giant. While profit's were down 61% from the previous year, they were only .5 shy of the fiscal years expectations bringing in around ¥16.5 billion, not quite making their ¥17 billion expectation and ¥41.8billion from the previous year. Nintendo did however succeed immensely on the digital front, raking in ¥44 billion, an ¥13 billion increase from the previous year. Some of the titles that moved move units the previous year, like Pokemon Alpha Sapphire and Omega Ruby didn't perform as well but other big titles like Splatoon, Animal Crossing Happy Home Designer, Fire Emblem Fates and Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess: HD, performed well considering the latter two just made the March 31st cut. Amiibo cards and figures sold a whopping 53.60 units combined.

Nintendo also revealed that two of their upcoming 5 scheduled smartphone games will be based around immensely popular franchises. Animal Crossing and Fire Emblem will be getting their own smartphone games due out later this fall! Both of which are immensely popular in the west and sound not only user friendly, but the perfect titles to create for smart phones.

Finally, the Nintendo NX is not coming in 2016. Contrary to the many E3 and Holiday season, Nintendo has stated they have no plans to release the console until March 2017 and will hold off of the launch of the newest Zelda title for the consoles release as well. This is, not entirely surprising news but it would hardly make sense for Nintendo to launch a new console having ended their previous console with one of their flagship games. So for now, it looks like Star Fox Zero is the last "big," release aside from Dragon Quest X. The only big 3DS titles to be released this year will most likely be Pokemon Sun & Moon as well but, from Nintendo's earning, it's clear we're going to see a strong focus in Amiibo's, smartphone apps, and amiibo figures and cards until the launch of the NX, next March.
