As a seasoned gamer with memories of playing Super Mario Bros and Zelda games etched deep into my gaming DNA, I find myself both saddened and intrigued by Nintendo‘s Q1 2025 earnings report. The 70.6% drop in profit from the prior year is indeed a stark reminder of the transient nature of success in this industry.
Tears of the Kingdom last year and the premiere of The Super Mario Bros. Movie during the same period appear to have had a lasting effect on their performance.
In spite of a staggering 70.6% decrease in annual profit compared to the previous year, Nintendo chose not to adjust their forecast. This drop can be attributed to the exceptional success Nintendo experienced last year, which has led to a less productive year this time around as the Switch console nears its end-of-life. The company’s mobile and intellectual property sales also struggled due to a lack of major film releases. The upcoming Super Mario Bros. Movie could positively impact long-term investors of Nintendo, but it may also present challenges in the short term.
In simple terms, it seems that FY 2025 might serve as a period of adjusting our anticipations, leading up to the release of the Switch 2. Notably, there was no hint about the Switch’s successor in today’s report, so we must remain patient and discover what Nintendo has planned for us somewhere between now and March 31, 2025.
