First smart device app will by end of fiscal year with first called Mario Kart TV enabling sharing of game movie and rankings

 

[GamerJM]

Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney isn't on the upcoming American release list but it was on the European already released one.

Is Capcom/Level-5 publishing the game in the US or what?

[Prometheus Zero]

How is this possible? It only takes ~15 seconds to boot up now...

I think there was an image floating around of an Wii U OS that just boots to a few icons on the gamepad, then you press on and load right into the game.. like fast boot to a minimal interface kind of thing. I'll see if I can find that pic.

[Smiles and Cries]

eh start up was fine, it is the Wii U to Wii boot up that annoys me

 

[AdanVC]

Regain momentum with 2 titles released 6 months apart. LOL

Don't worry! NES Remix 3 would be released between the two titles! ....... sIGH.

 

[Madouu]

Awwww yeah. Too bad Gibbo's the only source. Love what the man does, but his tweets can be incomprehensible.

"Iwata saying 3DS hit 43m, so time to reap the results, helping is next Pokemon, Tomodachi Life in June internationally"

Reap WHAT results? OK, TL in June and ruby and sapphire in the fall?

reap the results of having an install base of 43 million units.

 

[Mysterious]

Weeee, another system update to improve speed.

Spoiler

Add some functions goddamnit.

What is this... Interceptor criticizing Nintendo?! :0

When is the end of the fiscal year again? Isnt that next year?

 

[Benzychenz]

It will hear you coming and turn itself on.

 

[Riki]

When is the end of the fiscal year again? Isnt that next year?

March 31st

 

[Volotaire]

Yep March 31st 2015

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Take that Xbox One!!!

[Not]

Mario Kart TV is their first app, OK. Didn't we and all the investors know that?

reap the results of having an install base of 43 million units.

Thanks

 

[Drago]

Hope that June update has some folders to go along with it.

 

[PotionBleue]

Wii U update quick boot demonstration (since no one here seems to remember >_<)

Why the fuck would it take them till the end of the fiscal year to get an app out.

WTF is taking so long. Nobody gonna give a shit about the Kart app if it's fucking months after the fact. That shit should be day and date with the MK8 release.

 

[Shard]

They probably have some E3 stuff lined up for the fall that they can't talk about right now.

Wait, they're releasing the app before April 2015?

Zalman alert!

Wii U update quick boot demonstration (since no one here seems to remember >_<)

Don't worry Potion, I remembered!

 

[Anth0ny]

"regain momentum"

 

[ArchedThunder]

X has always been 2014 as noted already. But the Bayonetta 2 Summer release window is new. YAAAAS!

It and X are the only two reasons why I still have a Wii U. Once those two are out and dusted, SAYONARA WII U (unless a Wii U Animal Crossing is announced before I do).

No it isn't.

 

[Oersted]

March 31st

Yep March 31st 2015

March 31

Thanks guys. Hhhmmm that would be late

 

[Interceptor]

Thanks I was just about to post this.

 

[TheWorthyEdge]

Man X in 2014......that'd be nice!

 

[nampad]

Market shares please. Can't wait for the numbers.

 

[vinnygambini]

Wait, they're releasing the app before April 2015?

To my understanding, the first app will be released in conjunction with MK8, MKTV; however, the smartphone app for Nintendo will be released by year-end.

Maybe I misunderstood.

 

[methodman]

End of the fiscal year to get mario kart tv app out? i can learn how to code and make that app for them by august. smh lol

 

[watershed]

Oh man, Nintendo is still talking about firmware updates to shorten the start up speed. What joke the Wii U is.

 

[javac]

@gibbogame

In June able to use SUICA transport cards for payments on WiiU in Japan using Nfc,

 

[Graphics Horse]

what about nfc?
oh...

 

[Trago]

X is still 2014. Good.

 

[plantedunicorn]

That's where DLC enters in.

Let's be honest though DLC is not gonna do shit. It's only gonna be helpful to people tath already have the console. I'm hoping they have new titles to announce at E3 cos if not that 3.6 figure is looking like a pipe dream.

I think that's the case. MKTV isn't a native app.

 

[Tripon]

Looking at this. Smash Brothers for Wii U *is* the holiday 2014 title. It has to be.

 

[DragonSworne]

Developing mobile apps is hard. Nintendo is far behind everyone else when it comes to app development.

 

[MagiusNecros]

No it isn't.

Correct. If anyone watched the JP direct a Summer release window for Japan was known. Likewise Hyrule Warriors also has a Summer Release window.

 

[Exile20]

Does it even take that long to boot? Standby state maybe?

[DAREALGUMMY]

His wording of that sounds odd. Maybe he meant the first few apps with Mario Kart being the first.. Why would they wait almost a year?

 

[TheWorthyEdge]

Not really. You just have to use AppInventor and your set.

jk

For real, this is getting insane

 

[NandN3DS]

Nfc payments in Japan.

 

[StreetsAhead]

I like that 'by end of fiscal year' is being taken to basically mean '11:59PM, March 31st, 2015'.

 

[udivision]

At this point, I think if Sakurai asked for more time, Iwata would backhand him and quote Miyamoto about "effing release your games on time,"
