Was going to post this and more. We can say for the entire year. 

 

Only 30 percent with hardly releases and the releases were new IP and spin offs mostly. Especially 3ds didn't have that many noteworthy games 

Without splatoon and Mario maker they probably would have lost money.  I wouldn't be surprised if splatoon on its own provided about 200m in profit. 

Nah,  they both definitely helped out alot, Probably did about 15-25 percent of all nintendo profits (splatoon+smm) 

 

There are many other factors to consider that made them money. Like... 

DLC: mk8+ssb definitely made them a ton of profits alone

Amiibo: sold 20mil+ this year

Games that weren't expensive to make because of reused material! Triforce/ac/fe/ml/etc
