In 2012 and 2013, two new Nintendo game consoles were introduced: the Wii U, with high-definition graphics and a GamePad controller with near-field communication technology,[152][153] and the Nintendo 2DS, a version of the 3DS that lacks the clamshell design of Nintendo's previous handheld consoles and the stereoscopic effects of the 3DS.[154] With 13.5 million units sold worldwide,[144] the Wii U is the least successful video game console in Nintendo's history.[155] In 2014, a new product line was released consisting of figures of Nintendo characters called amiibos.[5]
The NES Classic Edition was released in November 2016. The console is a version of the NES based on emulation, HDMI, and the Wii remote.[171] Its successor, the Super NES Classic Edition, was released in September 2017.[172] By October 2018, around ten million units of both consoles combined had been sold worldwide.[173]
Used since the 1960s, Nintendo's most recognizable logo is the racetrack shape, especially the red-colored wordmark typically displayed on a white background, primarily used in the Western markets from 1985 to 2006. In Japan, a monochromatic version that lacks a colored background is on Nintendo's own Famicom, Super Famicom, Nintendo 64, GameCube, and handheld console packaging and marketing. Since 2006, in conjunction with the launch of the Wii, Nintendo changed its logo to a gray variant that lacks a colored background inside the wordmark, making it transparent. Nintendo's official, corporate logo remains this variation.[264] For consumer products and marketing, a white variant on a red background has been used since 2015, and has been in full effect since the launch of the Nintendo Switch in 2017.
In addition to its original music, EBF5 brings back several tracks from previous EBF games (sans 1 as at the time, it didn't have an original soundtrack). There are nine boomboxes scattered around the overworld; activating them will change the music within the screen and its adjacent screens (this is only for the paid version since 1.5, the free version will only play a default track from EBF5, while on the Mobile version, a mixture of default tracks and Data Bunker Simulation Fight music is played due to storage limitations), while the Data Bunker Simulation Fights will also play tracks during combat.
Originally a Chinese joint venture between its founder, Wei Yen, and Nintendo, manufactures and distributes official Nintendo consoles and games for the mainland Chinese market, under the iQue brand. The product lineup for the Chinese market is considerably different from that for other markets. For example, Nintendo's only console in China is the iQue Player, a modified version of the Nintendo 64. In 2013, the company became a fully owned subsidiary of Nintendo.[27][28]
The back of the box is fully detailed and has even been translated into the game's in-universe language. It also raises questions about the game's world given that the top half is virtually unchanged, not to mention the amiibo and Splatoon logos being in English. 2ff7e9595c
