While 3DS and Wii U hardware sales didn't quite meet Nintendo's expectations, the company enjoyed strong sales from titles such as Pokémon Omega Ruby / Alpha Sapphire, Super Smash Bros. for 3DS, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, Mario Kart 8, and The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask.
Looking forward, Nintendo said it will continue to grow its successful Amiibo toy-line, further monetise blockbuster titles such as Mario Kart 8 through additional downloadable content, and garner additional revenue from upcoming titles designed for smartphones and tablets. The company hopes this will result in a profit of USD$419 million for the current financial year.
