Nintendo’s first-quarter net profit increases by more than 50% year-on-year, according to reports from Channel NewsAsia and Free Malaysia Today. Both sources attribute the growth to improved performance in Nintendo’s core video game business, driven by stronger video game sales during the quarter. In addition to sales momentum, Free Malaysia Today reports that Nintendo also benefits from a windfall related to US tariff refunds, which contributes to the profit jump. Channel NewsAsia similarly frames the result as a significant rise in net profit for the quarter, aligning with the view that both operating improvements and the tariff-related refunds support earnings. While the exact figures and the size of the tariff refund contribution are not detailed in the provided summaries, the outlets agree on the overall direction of the results and the main drivers: stronger game sales and the impact of refunds tied to US tariff policy. Nintendo’s quarterly earnings therefore reflect both demand for its products and an offsetting financial effect from the refund process.
