Finally at home to take a look at them numbers, you guys probably already saw this, but I want to vent and don't want to post on the results thread.

DS finally dead, it only sold around 20k units the whole fiscal year, did Nintendo ever announced the official discontinuation of the hf?
DS on software is still rather impressive however, nearly 4m of units shipped 10 years after release is nothing to sneeze at.
Wii as well dying off, less than half a millon for the whole fiscal year, still pushing a lot of software however close to 12m for the whole fiscal year.

I'm going to focus on Wii and DS as you've probably know everything regarding their successors, I'm happy to answer questions so don't be shy!
Software, some Nintendo published Wii games are still selling somehow.
Mario Kart Wii shipped nearly 1m units since March 31st 2014 (all updates are since then) why is that game still selling!?
Both NSMBW and SSBB shipped over 500k units in the same timeframe as well, titles as Wii Sports Resort and the first Galaxy both shipped around 300k (I believe all these titles are Nintendo Selects so there's that I guess) even Wii Sports and Wii Fit Plus shipped a couple of 100k units, its very impressive for games that old to keep selling.
Not much to say on DS, some games like NSMB and Mario Kart are still selling but those are only on the tens of thousands, not quite as impressive.

  • Mega-May lineup revealed! A new Megaman game hitting the VC each week... I don't know if these are considered good or bad in the MM community...

Aw snap!

I'll certainly be keeping my eye on that! 


I´m looking foward to megaman battle network 3, one of my favorite games of all time

Sony hasn't told us how much the PS2 did until they discontinued so we can't really know, but its unlikely.

I suspect the difference is higher than 1m in favor of the PS2.

Dang, that would have been cool if the DS could surpass the PS2... TwT

I know I'm a bit late to the hate party on Splatoon. but with the Mega Update in August, it sound like to me this private room update came about with the negativity around the idea of no private matches or custom settings. The VA seem to stress the custom settings a bit.


The worst part is no VGC Splatoon tournaments till August. =(

Believe me, you have no idea how badly I want to host a Splatoon tourney.

The fact that we have to wait till August for friend lobbies is pretty disappointing.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

Let`s hone our skills for August then guys!!! x )

I really do wonder what the developers have been doing during these 2+ years of development.

If you see what Playtonic could make in just 3 months with a 6 man team... It boggles the mind really.



HORI is making a Splatoon GamePad protector. Looks pretty sweet.
