The third quarter of 2015 will end next month, but it does not mean that Nintendo will stop revealing more exciting news from their game development studios for the rest of the year.
In a recent announcement posted on their official website, the Japanese gaming and entertainment company stated that there are more games to look forward to in the later part of 2015, and most of them will be exclusively released for the company's Nintendo 3DS and Wii U game consoles.
"Nintendo has games, amiibo and systems to satisfy all kinds of players, whether they're looking for back-to-school gifts or getting an early start on their holiday shopping," Nintendo of America Executive Vice President of Sales & Marketing Scott Moffitt said. "No one can match the quality or uniqueness of what Nintendo has to offer for the rest of 2015."
