Nintendo delayed its early 2013 Wii U titles to ensure they were 'delicately crafted' games

By Brian Crecente on Apr 30, 2013 04.30.13

"We originally planned to release a few first-party titles for Wii U during the first half of this year, but no big titles are scheduled for release before Pikmin 3 in July because we decided to take time to add the final touches to ensure that consumers fully feel that they are valuable titles," Iwata said. "The brand of a franchise would be completely degraded without customer satisfaction. This is why we delayed the release schedule of such games." Iwata said the delay was also caused by the fact that Nintendo had to pull developers off of their games to get them to help finish the Wii U's release titles. Those launch games, he said, required more development resources than expected. "In short, the development teams of Pikmin 3 and other future games were understaffed during that...

Animal Crossing: New Leaf will support sharing with QR codes in North America

By Dave Tach on Apr 26, 2013 04.26.13

Animal Crossing: New Leaf, the portable installment of the franchise headed to North America and Europe this year, will allow players to share their creations with QR codes in North America, director of product marketing Bill Trinen told EGMnow. The QR code functionality, which lets players share their in-game designs, were available for the game's Japanese launch last year, and will not be region locked. "Yes, the QR codes are available in the North American version of the game as well, and will be compatible with the Japanese version," Trinen said. "So this means the QR codes from the Japanese version will work on the U.S. version." Last week, Nintendo revealed a North American Nintendo 3DS XL bundle that includes Animal Crossing: New Leaf. The game is set to launch June 9 in...

Nintendo Wii U and 3DS digital sales on the rise, Animal Crossing: New Leaf major contributor

By Alexa Ray Corriea on Apr 25, 2013 04.25.13

Sales of digital content on Nintendo's platforms are on the rise, with recent release Animal Crossing: New Leaf a major contributor to Nintendo's download service, according to the company's recent financial report. Download sales in the last fiscal year have more than doubled from the previous year and surpassed their record high of almost 12 billion yen from March 2010, reaching just over 16 billion yen, the report says. Nintendo also cites the launch of add-on content and the availability of titles digitally as major contributors to downloadable sales growth. Purchases of Animal Crossing: New Leaf, launched last November in Japan and South Korea, have also been mostly digital due to short supply of the physical version at retail, and because the game is "one that you can enjoy...

By Alexa Ray Corriea on Apr 19, 2013 04.19.13

A new tool for the Nintendo 3DS will allow players in Japan to take in-game screenshots and upload them to social networking sites, according to a listing on Nintendo's Japanese site. The Nintendo 3DS Screenshot Tool allows players to take screenshots while playing Animal Crossing: New Leaf or Tomodachi Collection. Players then direct the 3DS browser to Nintendo's mobile website and log into their social networking service. From there they can choose which screenshot to upload and post the photo directly to the service. Currently the Screenshot Tool only supports posting to Twitter and Tumblr. The 3DS must be connected to the internet in order to use the tool. Polygon has reached out to Nintendo to ask if the Screenshot Tool will be made compatible with more games and social...

Iwata: Nintendo plans to increase profits with the help of Monster Hunter 4, Pokémon X/Y, Animal Crossing: New Leaf and more

By Tracey Lien on Jan 31, 2013 01.31.13

In a briefing of financial results held today, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata gave a presentation outlining the reasons why the company's third quarter earnings took a hit and what it plans to do to return to "Nintendo-like" profits again. Iwata said Nintendo performed well in its domestic market of Japan, but its performance in the U.S. in 2012 was partly to blame for its lower-than-expected earnings. Citing a list of the top 20 games sold in the last calendar year in the U.S. Iwata said Nintendo performed the least favorably, to the point where the downward revision of its financial forecast "is largely attributed to the slow growth in the U.S. sales." Of the 20 titles on the list, only five were for Nintendo platforms. Games that performed well in Japan like Animal Crossing: New...
