Nintendo UK - on no high profile title and their position for the holidays

These quotes from a MCV interview with Nintendo UK marketing manager Chandra Nair...

On Mario Kart 8 and Splatoon bundle
''Mario Kart 8 continues to be popular week-in, week-out, even after all this time. And Splatoon is still a relatively new title and something that kids have been pestering their parents for, so we anticipate that bringing these two fantastic games together in one value bundle should be a popular move.''

On having no high profile software title
“There’s this old-school expectation that a company has to launch their most high profile software title in November, otherwise it doesn’t have a system seller for Q4. This definitely isn’t the case especially since the Nintendo audience is so broad. We will always focus on releasing games when they’re ready and this has led us to having some of the highest review scores in the industry.”

Chandra Nair also commented on the importance of Project Zero: Maiden of Black Water and Xenoblade Chronicles X. The latter game, he believes, will ''break boundaries all over again''.

On their position this coming holiday
''We’ve also got Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash and Animal Crossing Amiibo Festival, which will continue to strengthen our family proposition in the run up to Christmas. On top of this, many of our customers can only afford to buy so many titles a year, so we’re in an enviable position whereby many of our Wii U owners have yet to play all the classics. There’s plenty to enjoy for Wii U owners and an array of reasons for newcomers to buy a Wii U now.''
