  • At nintendo results meeting - scheduled games list doesn't look much new except 3 pokemon titles for DS in usa this yr
  • Going through results, price cut impact, forex etc
  • Done, now iwata will get up to speak, he still uses a mac laptop for the presentation :)
  • 3DS post xmas in japan success has accelerated while not overseas
  • Only has 6 in top 20 titles in usa versus over 15 in top 20 in japan, usa should be 3x jp performance
  • Views super smach bros 2 as key to usa and will have long term demand
  • 3ds has only 2, 3, 2 titles in top 20 in germany, france, spain respectively, 2 in UK
  • WiiU - will launch this year in jp,us,eu and australia, more details at E3, that presso repeated in jp one week later
  • E3 will NOT include price details for WiiU
  • ds standard title globally include mario kart etc, but also monster hunter, fire emblem, kid icarus, plus pokemon titles on ds will help
  • core titles globaly inlude mario kart etc but also monster hunter and fire emblem
  • Launching 3ds in korea tomorrow,planning other countries as well, now talking about the potential of digital
  • New super mario bros 2 will be offered for packaged or full download to SD card
  • Digital buys will also include retail as place for payment and download, but said "it does look complicated" in demo
  • Said game life is getting shorter, hence retailers carry few, digital will help retail as inventory risk reduced!
  • Don't see big price difference between retail and digital as digital will be sold be retailers, will be available at WiiU launch
  • Price digital will be set by retailers and not nintendo.settlement by retail not nintendo
  • Overall focused on improving quality, and having long term relationship with customers, hopeful digital will long term +ve
  • Want to find WiiSports equivalent for WiiU, cannot explain for competitive reasons, will not remodel existing
  • Digital - on concerns download will take too long, said that's why can buy media direct or do so late at night
  • WiiU - will need to consider social game play, cannot say more
  • Won't comment on wholesale price to retail for digital versus packaged
  • So will offer full game dowload to 3ds in Aug
  • On hardware - customers don't want the console, they buy it for the software
  • Have learnt lesson of 3ds launch, as a result WiiU will have very rich line-up from the beginning, a few rich titles
  • Claimed overseas 3DS support was rising, will catch up to japan by E3 so not worried about jp v. international performance
  • Forecast profit this year is not nintendo type and not a satisfactory level
  • Demand for 3ds in eu/us has been been rather very weak, think 3rd year crucial and then if surge will achieve nintendo like profits
  • Won't go all digital as it doesn't suit all users, want win-win relationship with retailers.
  • Digital wholesale price will not be the same as packaged as inventory risk is different
  • Iwata doesn't think retail margins will be coming down as a result of digital.
  • You will strongly feel the changes in the thoughts of third-party software developers, overseas developers in particular, for the better.

They released their financial results earlier this morning.
Tonight they'll be having the Q&A and presentation.

I'm starting to think it would've been a good call to have a "Wii U rumour/news" section rather than all that stuff piling into wii u hardware, even though some news doesn't concern hardware or games.

Should be tweeted here since he did the January 26th Investor Meeting and it starts 8:00-8:30 PM EDT (TONIGHT).


Good, for some reason I had in my mind that it would be around 11 PM Eastern time. That means I don't have to be a zombie at work tomorrow.

I expect only a small tidbit to get investor confidence up since the stock price did drop a little after the financial results were posted.

Never argue with an idiot, they drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.

Alright. I will be watching...

Unless you're an investor.

We'll probably have to wait until it finishes, unless the twitcher posted in the OP is willing to risk twitching everything.

Yeah, you've done a great job so far, letting the Metal Heads destroy the palace.
