So they invested that much money in Wii U games development? I expect a ton of great Wii U games in the next two years!

To me this sounds like they spendt money trying things with the NX, back in FY 2015.

This isnt about game development.



how does that compare to previous years



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

Do we have any numbers for when Wii and Wii U were in development?

Fyi R&D is a loose term. Its used for whatever you can write off as a tax deduction. We use it work for anything we can call new feature development.
