I guess that they don't make a very large contribution to the bottom line yet. If your selling a million download only games a week and you getting 3 dollar commission on average, that means 3 million a week for around 13 weeks contributing 39 million while at the same time it would almost double the software shipment number from 18 million to 31 million.See my other post right above here :) Why not include digital only games when talking about total software sales?
Y'all talking about an ARMS 2 and here I am hoping they skip that and go straight to ARMS 3. The more arms the better!
/s.
Yeah, that could be, but wouldnt they seperate those things in their earning reports in that case? I just checked the .pdf from Nintendo and they do actually mention how much they made from digital content in Q1. Its 18.5 billion yen, or about 166 million US dollars.I guess that they don't make a very large contribution to the bottom line yet.

I see. That seems kinda strange to me. Why not include digital only games when talking about total software sales?
It means both digital and retails sales of games that have a retail presence. It doesnt count digital only.Yeah, that could be, but wouldnt they seperate those things in their earning reports in that case?

It also says "Software sales units include both packaged and downloadable versions of software" as a note to the 17.96 million units of software sales. I read that as both package/retail copies and download only versions.
I see. Thanks. I find it strange that they dont disclose this information. I guess the closest thing is the earning from digital content in general ("*4 Includes downloadable versions of packaged software, download-only software and add-on content").It means both digital and retails sales of games that have a retail presence. It doesnt count digital only.

LOL. People now saying ARMS didn't sell well. It's still selling and has amazing numbers for a 3d 1v1 fighter. I'd like to have seen some predictions ahead of time.

Richmond, UK – 30th July, 2018: BANDAI Namco Entertainment Europe and WITCHCRAFT announce a brand-new adventure/tactical RPG for PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC Digital - Digimon Survive.
Kirby really is impressing. Should be around 2.4-2.5 Million before holidays won't it?Updated Japanese numbers for Splatoon 2, Breath of the Wild and Mario Odyssey at next quarter, all of them will break 1m ww at 6 months period, maybe Kirby too.
For every title you see on going support from Nintendo you can expect good sales.Kirby really is impressing. Should be around 2.4-2.5 Million before holidays won't it?

Absolutely 0 chance of ARMS getting a sequel before the next system
Why not? Nintendo's made sequels on the same console before. There's no reason ARMS can't get a Switch sequel.
Genuine question, have they made sequels of multiplayer games on the same console before?
The Mario Party line comes to mind but yeah it is unusual for them to do so.
Yeah, it's good to see that the game is doing well.Lol I remember some people saying ARMS wouldn't be able to sell more than it's initial shipment. The game did get it's share of negativity, but I'm glad it was able to sell more than 2 million and it can only go up from there. Best character designs I have seen from Nintendo in recent times.
I mean, while I could theoretically see EPD Kyoto getting away with launching ARMS 2 in 2020 or so, it's more likely that they'll save it & MK9 for the next system.Why not? Nintendo's made sequels on the same console before. There's no reason ARMS can't get a Switch sequel.

It stopped getting character/stage/ARMS updates, yes. But since the end of said updates, we've gotten new modes & even an extension on Party Crash support.

But since the end of said updates, we've gotten new modes & even an extension on Party Crash support.Not traditionally, but ARMS stopped receiving updates months ago, and given that Nintendo's gone on record to say that their games need to have more constant updates, it leads me to believe that ARMS 2 is coming much sooner than everyone thinks.
Hedlok already has 6 arms, just give him two more!Clearly we need a crossover between ARMS and Splatoon.
ARMS 8.
I think what TheMisterManGuy is mainly saying is that Nintendo would stand to gain more by making a bigger impression up-front with ARMS 2 having a ton of more content (story mode, more characters, etc.) than they would adding more to the original game. With that said, I do agree that Nintendo may avoid splitting the player-base unless there's a huge mechanical change that they want to introduce.And I continue to assert that the only way ARMS 2 will hit the (current) Switch is if it introduces a new gameplay mechanic that changes the dynamics of the meta, even if I can't think of what it could be. If it's just new characters/stages and a few game modes, it'd be easier to introduce that as DLC and avoid splitting the player base.

Lol why? EPD is more than capable of making anything they want. They're not strictly a Mario and Zelda house.Arms seems like Pikmin in that EPD should probably just outsource those games because they're not as popular as Mario and Zelda and Animal Crossing and Splatoon.

I think its too soon for that.
Animal crossing didnt start with a huge selling potential but sales increased significantly with later entries. Zelda has been a 5 to 7 million seller for a while now but now were looking at a potential of 20 million. Pikmin had several entries by Miyamoto and they are still interested in that IP.
They need to work on some things for ARMS but the potential is there. I think it deserves a second chance with a bigger budget.
I don't see the potential personally but I guess they can give it another chance before deciding to mostly outsource it.

Since Yabuki has love for the IP I doubt that will happen. He probably has ideas on how to make the game bigger.
You may not see it, but there is definitely potential especially in the characters and the world.
I doubt it, Switch will have a strong summer inside and outside of Japan.
Kirby was already known it didn't appear suddenly.
What has been rumoured, hinted, speculated so far for this year is:
New Super Mario Bros. Deluxe
Mario Maker
Metroid Prime Trilogy
Nintendo Labo Vol.4
Fire Emblem
Nintendo 64 Mini
With the exception of Labo that will have its own spot and maybe Nintendo 64 Mini everything from these or unannounced that will come out until March will be at next direct.
I think Metroid Prime Trilogy, Mario Maker 2, and Fire Emblem Three Houses would be a great Q4 lineup and. New Super Mario Bros DX seems like something this year in my opinion.
It's weird to have two 2D mario platformer releasing in a short timeframe. I think there has been some bogus informations in the mix.
Mario Bros. being an enchanted port and not a brand new entry makes everything clear.It's weird to have two 2D mario platformer releasing in a short timeframe. I think there has been some bogus informations in the mix.
