That Mario vs Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars is out this week on Wii U and 3DS for £17.99. I seem to remember reading that if you buy one version, you get the other for free to use yourself or pass along to a friend. If that's the case, would anyone be interested in going halves with me? I want the 3DS version, so it'll be the Wii U one going spare.

Yep, just checked the Nintendo page for the game, and the code can be passed to another user.

Those Nintendo mobile phone games will probably look a little something like this.

In all seriousness though, you only have to look at that Pokemon puzzle game that's on 3DS. Something like 7 out of 10 of my streetpasses are people playing that, so I'm guessing it's making them a mint. Getting that on smartphone is going to fill the coffers even more.

yeah, could have done with someone sending me a personalised breakdown of all the Nintendo news today

I think I read that the mobile stuff means there's going to be a unified Nintendo account thing, like a proper one this time. Which, while nice, I'm a little dubious will mean cross buy, but I hope so

Bugger gave all my stars away :P

But there is a good few bits there, the Zelda add on for Mario kart 8 and some gba games, great for those with stars to spend. Wish Nintendo had done this through the year instead of this closual of the club Nintendo.

For those that want to see it.

Dates for Splatton and Yoshi's Woolly World as well as Amiibos announced for them. I'm pretty certain I will be getting my first Amiibos with those games, thee Woolly World ones are insanely cool.

They finally showed the Shin Magami Tensai / Fire Emblem crossover game which isn't the game I was expecting at all, as well as revealing some more details on the next 3DS Fire Emblem game.

There is N63 and DS games available on the Wii U now, but they aren't ones I'd go for unless maybe Mario Kart DS if it has online play, but they didn't specify either way.

Nintendo has returned to annual profit for the first time in four years.

The company has turned around its fortunes from last year's loss of 23bn yen (£126m) to a more reassuring 41bn yen (£226m) profit.

Nintendo shifted 9m 3DS handhelds (including 2DS and New 3DS models) over the past 12 months.

Lifetime sales for the handheld family now stand at 52m units, around a third of the DS' 154m.

3DS sales prior to the launch of the New 3DS and New 3DS XL models "did not grow as anticipated", Nintendo noted in its results briefing today.

But the company's new handheld models had "a good start and continue to sell well", it added.

Less encouragingly, Nintendo only shifted another 3.6m Wii U consoles last year. Lifetime sales for the console now stand at 9.54m worldwide, less than half the lifetime sales of GameCube. Last week, Sony confirmed it had passed the 22m mark for PlayStation 4.

That's quite a turnaround. Also, that DS lifetime sales number is nuts.
