Nintendo’s released its latest financial data, which means it’s also reconfirmed the release dates\/windows for its major upcoming games.<\/p>\n

After the announcement of Star Fox<\/a> this week, it’s actually looking okay, with Nintendo maintaining its cadence of one game per month. We’ve got Yoshi and the Mysterious Book<\/a> coming up this month, Star Fox in June, Rhythm Heaven Groove<\/a> in July, and Splatoon Raiders<\/a> in July.<\/p>\n

More games are heading our way, including Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave<\/a> and Pok\u00e9mon Winds & Waves<\/a>, but these don’t have firm launch dates just yet.<\/p>\n
