Nintendo’s Q3 net profit jumps on Pokémon salesJapanese video game maker Nintendo’s third-quarter profit more than doubled from a year earlier on healthy sales of Pokémon game software, the company said today.

Nintendo, which makes Super Mario games and will start selling the Switch console March 3, reported a better-than-expected October-December profit of 64.7 billion yen ($569 million), up from 29.1 billion yen in the same period of                                                                                 2015.

Kyoto-based Nintendo raised its full-year profit forecast to 90 billion yen ($792 million) from an earlier 50 billion yen ($440 million).

That would mark a more than fivefold increase from what it earned the previous fiscal year.

It kept its sales forecast unchanged at $4.1 billion. Nintendo’s quarterly sales slipped 21% to 174.3 billion yen ($1.5 billion).

Nintendo’s bottom line also was helped by a relatively weak yen, which lifts the overseas revenue for Japanese companies like Nintendo that do much of their business abroad.
