TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan's Nintendo Co Ltd said on Friday it was developing a smartphone game with messaging app operator Line Corp,lights on the lake sherman tx 2023 as it continues to branch out into mobile gaming and diversify its revenue streams.

"Dr. Mario World", the latest mobile title featuring Nintendo's multi-talented plumber, will be released in early summer, the Kyoto-based company said in a statement.

Nintendo needs to find new sources of revenue to offset the decline of its aging 3DS handheld console, analysts say. It has released mobile titles with DeNA Co Ltd and CyberAgent Inc but has yet to score a big hit.

A broad user base makes Line well placed to encourage uptake of the new puzzle game among casual users, Nintendo Chief Executive Shuntaro Furukawa said at a briefing on Friday.


Line's shares climbed as much as 12 percent, with Nintendo's announcement boosting sentiment toward the company which on Thursday reported a 94 percent decline in quarterly operating profit.


However, Nintendo shares were down 9 percent. The firm on Thursday lowered its full-year sales forecast for its Switch console to 17 million units from 20 million.


The gaming firm also on Thursday said it would miss its target of releasing two to three mobile titles in the financial year ending March as it pushed back the release date of "Mario Kart Tour" to the summer.


CASUAL GAMING


Nintendo had great success in encouraging casual gaming with its Wii console, introduced in 2006 and which went on to sell over 100 million units.


The proliferation of smartphones has created a larger base of potential players and also widened the field to competition, with Nintendo entering the unfamiliar market cautiously and wary of damaging its family-friendly reputation.


To further develop new revenue sources, Nintendo is introducing its characters to audiences in new ways. It will open its first Nintendo-themed attraction at Osaka's Universal Studios Japan in time for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, which run from July 24 to Aug. 9.


On Friday, it also said it will open Japan's first Nintendo shop in Tokyo's trendy Shibuya district this autumn.


Needing to offset its aging 3DS handheld device, Nintendo has told suppliers and games developers it plans to release a smaller, cheaper Switch version as soon as the financial year starting April, the Nikkei business daily reported on Thursday citing anonymous sources.


Furukawa on Friday repeated that Nintendo is currently focused on building up Switch sales and that the 3DS retains a role as an affordable entry device for younger players.

Is the Options Market Predicting a Spike in Seagate (STX) Stock?3 Reasons Growth Investors Will Love Charles River (CRL)Is Focus Financial Partners (FOCS) a Great Growth Stock?Otter Tail (OTTR) Tops Q3 Earnings and Revenue EstimatesWilliams to Build 1-40 MW Solar Stations Across 9 US States (Revised)Fed virus-driven cut may test new approach to inflationGlobal Vision Care Market (2020 to 2025) - Featuring Alcon, Carl Zeiss and Hoya Among Others5%, led by a 17% increase in average ticket and a slight decline in traffic. Growth in the quarter reflected the impact of households stocking up on essentials like paper goods and cleaning supplies as the pandemic became a nationwide concern, along with strength in discretionary categories as the quarter came to a close and stimulus dollars and tax refunds were disbursed.As shown below, the results in the quarter materially changed the trend in two-year stacked comps for each of the banners, along with a significant acceleration for consolidated comps.The increase in consolidated comps was the primary driver of an 8% increase in revenues to $6.3 billion. The company ended the quarter with 15,370 locations, up less than 1% year-over-year. This reflects a 7% increase in Dollar Tree units, offset by a 4% decline in Family Dollar units.The top-line results at each banner flowed through to their respective income statements, with Dollar Tree gross margins and operating margins declining year-over-year while Family Dollar gross margins and operating margins expanded year-over-year. On a consolidated basis, gross margins contracted by 120 basis points in the quarter to 28.5%, reflective of a shift to lower-margin consumables, tariff costs and the impact of markdowns from the Easter headwinds at the Dollar Tree banner. The company saw slight operating leverage on SG&A from higher comps, with the net result being an 80 basis point contraction in operating margins to 5.8%, with operating income declining 5% to $366 million. This is not adjusted for $73 million of pandemic-related costs, such as PPE supplies.In the first quarter, the company opened 85 stores (net of closures) and completed 220 Family Dollar renovations to the H2 format. Importantly, comps at renovated Family Dollar stores continue to outpace the chain average by more than 10%. On the call, management indicated that they plan on reducing both the number of new store openings (from 550 to 500) and the number of H2 renovations (from 1,250 to 750) in 2020.Personally, given the fact that Family Dollar is seeing material benefits to its business from the pandemic with new or lapsed customers coming into its stores, I think the company should try to get more aggressive with its renovation plans, not less. On the other hand, you could argue that renovations cause short-term disruptions and limit their ability to fully capitalize on the business momentum they are currently experiencing.As a result of fewer new stores and remodels, management now expects 2020 capital expenditures to total $1.0 billion compared to previous guidance of $1.2 billion. In addition, the company has temporarily suspended share repurchases. At quarter's end, the company had $1.8 billion in cash on its balance sheet compared to $4.3 billion in total debt.ConclusionIn recent years, Dollar Tree has been a tale of two cities. While its namesake banner has generally delivered impressive financial results, Family Dollar has been a persistent underperformer. This quarter, those results flipped, and given what we've seen in the weeks since quarter's end, there's a decent possibility that we will see something similar in the coming months. As the CEO noted, the second quarter is off to a very good start at Family Dollar.Here's the important question: how useful is that information is in terms of making future predictions about the business? Will recent success at Family Dollar translate into long-term success for the banner? The optimistic take is that new or lapsed customers, especially those visiting the renovated stores, could become recurring business for the banner. The pessimistic take is that they have experienced short-term success out of necessity as people went to any store that was open to try and find essentials like toilet paper and hand sanitizer that were largely out of stock throughout the retail landscape. From that view, many of these customers could abandon the retailer when life returns to normal. As Philbin noted on the conference call, early on [during the pandemic], folks needed us. Will people still shop as much at Family Dollar when it's no longer a necessity?Personally, I do not place too much weight on the recent results. I will need to see incremental data points that indicate that Family Dollar has truly won sustained business from these new customers. While I still believe that the Dollar Tree banner is a well-positioned retailer with attractive unit returns, I'm not yet willing to say the same thing for Family Dollar. For that reason, along with the recent run-up in the stock price, I plan on staying on the sidelines for now.Disclosure: NoneRead more here:Under Armour: A Tough Start to 2020Walmart: Continued Omni-Channel ProgressMatch: An Impressive Start to 2020Not a Premium Member of GuruFocus?
