Initial reports said this briefing would be at Hotel New Otani Tokyo, but as the news conference (different from this briefing) was in Osaka, likely this briefing is to be held there too. But we'll see what happens.

This thread is for the briefing and its contents in particular. If you wish to discuss the financials of Q3 in detail, you can do so here.

 

[Rubixcuba]

What's going to happen NX I wonder.

 

[ratcliffja]

I'm so ready to get briefed.

 

[Madao]

inb4 the NX info is an announcement of an announcement.

 

[Rapscallion]

Hope it's brief.

 

[jariw]

What's going to happen NX I wonder.

That's not for this briefing.

 

[Shadoron]

Everyone, remain calm and temper your expectations. Is this the shareholder meeting as well, or is that coming up still?

 

[MatrixMan.EXE]

In.

 

[BY2K]

Don't expect much about the NX people.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

inb4 the NX info is an announcement of an announcement.

Pretty much.

I'm expecting almost nothing NX-related out of this.

 

[Captain Rage Quit 69]

I'm guessing this is going to be solely about what games have sold well and things like that? Nothing special?

 

[ratcliffja]

inb4 the NX info is an announcement of an announcement.

I think that's a best-case scenario.

 

[Rösti]

Everyone, remain calm and temper your expectations. Is this the shareholder meeting as well, or is that coming up still?

This is not the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. That's usually in June.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

Location: Unconfirmed

Scared of riot?

 

[Exterminieren]

If you expect more than a deflection on the NX, you're daft.

I'd be happy with a little more information on the new membership scheme and Miitomo, myself.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Don't expect much about the NX people.

Shut your whore mouth.

 

[Thraktor]

We'll almost certainly get some info on Miitomo and possibly one or two other mobile games, but I wouldn't get your hopes up about the NX. At best they'll give an indication of when they're doing the proper reveal.

 

[Kouriozan]

Hoping for a good Q/A session.

 

[Foshy]

Is there any particular reason people are expecting NX info here?

 

[Tripon]

More mobile news I reckon.

 

[Crono27]

I'm expecting nothing big about nx but who knows what might come out of this

 

[thefro]

This is basically the thread for game journalists to find badly translated Japanese quotes out of context to use for clickbait stories.

Might be some little new things in the briefing. We usually do learn something from the Q&A. Definitely appreciate the tweets from people but typically things get a lot clearer once we have a transcript translated into English.

 

[Mpl90]

Reposting here since I suppose it's going to be useful enough

Having followed / read about past live reactions to Investor Briefings, allow me to share the usual Reaction Cycle

1. Way too much hype before the briefings
2. The briefing starts, there are people liveblogging or twetting directly from the event
3. Since live blogs and tweets can't report accurately enough what's going on, infos are shared incomplete or with some misunderstandings. Not the journalist's fault, it's due to the necessity of following everything happening
4. This brings to chaos, mayhem, Doomed for reasons and over-analysis about stuff without enough details to get the whole picture
5. The Japanese transcription is posted: Google Translate becomes the weapon for the freedom from the shackles represented by languages' barrier. Or users who knows Japanese well enough to translate (oh, hi, Cheesemeister ) Still people following earlier, incomplete details
6. English transcription posted. No misunderstandings anymore, just crows and owned everywhere.
7. The cycle repeats itself every time a Quarter Investors' Briefing happens.

 

[Regiruler]

I expect Miitomo, anything more is icing.

EDIT: I almost forgot nintendo account, post below reminded me.

 

[Kouriozan]

More infos on Nintendo Account would be great, too. It's launching next month after all.

 

[serenewarfare]

Best case scenario for this thing on the NX front is a more specific timeframe on when we'll first hear details about it.

 

[chaosblade]

Expecting plenty of non-news and maybe an announcement of an announcement of an announcement.

And F-Zero.

 

[AppleSautts]

This is basically the thread for game journalists to find badly translated Japanese quotes out of context to use for clickbait stories.

Can't wait!

 

[Glass Rebel]

I expect the board of directors to come on stage dressed up as Koopalings to announce the new Paper Mario

 

[sinxtanx]

Before anyone asks where they can find the stream: NO

 

[Dog Pile on the Rabbit]

NX is a 72 dollar PS5 confirmation pls. To wait any longer would be disastrous.

 

[fernoca]

Before anyone asks where they can find the stream: NO

Where can I find the stream?

 

[Blood Diamonds]

Ready for that new Zelda Wii U gameplay trailer!!!

Spoiler

kidding

 

[Jigolo]

inb4 the NX info is an announcement of an announcement.

Why is this a thing? I'll pick the topic you're familiar with, games.


> Nintendo announce E3 date
> Announcements made at E3

this isn't even remotely new and GAF is going off the wall with this meme

 

[Tregard]

Floating around NX-tacy

 

[AdanVC]

My investor suit is ready.

 

[Gorilla Shark]

Expecting either...

A full blowout of NX including price, specs, launch games, and playable demos available on the eshop immediately following the event.

Or

Nothing at all.

 

[LordOcidax]

If you are hungry for NX news, this is not for you, wait for E3 (Thats the only thing you are going to hear in this meeting, about NX), Avoid the dissolution.

 

[Ōkami]

I wonder if an investor will ask Kimishima if he's the president of Nintendo.

Also, doesn't Mark Gibson also live tweet this?

 

[Tripon]

Before anyone asks where they can find the stream: NO

Don't be hiding the stream info, yo.

 

[oatmeal]

They're going to surprise launch Zelda today.

BOOK IT.

 

[Kouriozan]

Maybe they'll talk a bit about that new Nintendo Direct format?

 

[-Horizon-]

I expect to see a lot of these gifs by the end so I'll just get it out of the way now regardless of whatever is 'revealed'

 

[AdanVC]

Is there any particular reason people are expecting NX info here?

Nothing than desperation.

 

[Rösti]

I wonder if an investor will ask Kimishima if he's the president of Nintendo.

Also, doesn't Mark Gibson also live tweet this?

I believe David Gibson stopped doing that some time ago.

 

[Kodaman]

Hope an stability update gets announced

 

[-Horizon-]

Now that that's out of the way, I hope we hear more about the whole account system and new rewards membership they seemed to have planned in the coming months.

 

[shrubsy_tree]

What's going to happen NX I wonder.

just wondering are you from the east coast? I noticed while out there (Pennsylvania in particular) they end their questions with "I wonder" ...

"Is it gonna rain I wonder?"

just Wondering

 

[HeySeuss]

Yay! Vague statements that can be interpreted multiple ways incoming!

And as a bonus, please understand and wait until E3, where we will bring you all the NX information to you.....DIRECTLY!

It'd be nice to get an official announcement of when they will bring us NX news. Hopefully in a real press conference and not a direct but I'll take whatever I can get at this point.
