More money, more problems, more solutions. In this episode of the Random Nintendo Podcast, we analyze all the news out of Nintendo’s annual financial report, breaking down what went well for the company, what went wrong, and what’s next. From slowing 3DS sales and continuing Amiibo woes to a new theme park deal with Universal Studios and updated details on Nintendo’s smartphone plans with DeNA, there’s certainly a lot to cover. We also weigh in on the recent Splatoon Direct, giving our takes on Nintendo’s unusual rollout strategy for the game’s many modes and hands-on impressions of last weekend’s Splatoon Global Testfire. Plus, we share impressions of the one-of-a-kind Affordable Space Adventures for Wii U.
