Aren't these usually pretty boring? I expect nothing.

 

[Scum]

Sod the NX. I want Nintendo Network, MyNintendo and MiiMoto news.

 

[Neoxon]

I'm not exactly expecting much from this, but here's to the best.

 

[ffdgh]

Who knows. Maybe they'll say NX is region free

 

[rardk64]

This isn't a news event people. Keep those hopes low.

 

[Tripon]

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'

Are you making a reaction video so I know how to react.

 

[Kodaman]

So what are you all eating while we wait for the Prime 4 trailer?

 

[Kouriozan]

Prediction : Kimishima will drop the final name of the NX and everyone will go insane.

 

[Tadaima]

It's almost guaranteed that we're going to get some information about NX, since there have been so many rumours surfacing in business publications lately. Investors will ask.

Still, the response may be nothing worthwhile.

 

[AdanVC]

Aren't these usually pretty boring? I expect nothing.

Yes but some interesting info could surface from here. For example, the amiibo concept was mentioned for the first time in one of this meetings.

任天堂が今後収益を向上させていく上で最も重要であり、任天堂が注力していくのはNX事業だと考えてよいか。IPの積極活用も、NXなどの任天堂の中核事業活性化のための施策の一つであり、IPのライセンス自体から上がる収益を大幅に増加させる意図はないし、映画事業などにも本格的に進出する計画はないという理解で正しいか。

君島：

　NXについては発売後に中核ビジネスに育てていけるよう現在さまざまな準備と取り組みを行っておりますが、繰り返し申し上げていますとおり、NXについては来年お話ししますので、本日はこれ以上のコメントは控えさせていただきます。

宮本：

　私は任天堂のソフト全般をみる「フェロー」として、ユニークなゲームソフト開発に関与しながらも、任天堂IPを使って何ができるのかを考え実行する立場にありますし、IPを積極活用することで利益を大きくしたいとは常に思っています。IP積極活用の第一弾の具体例としてamiiboを昨年発売しましたが、本日のプレゼンテーションのとおり、既に当社業績に貢献しています。このようにIPの積極活用とは、直接的なライセンス収入に限定せずにIPをさまざまな形で活用することで当社の業績を向上させる活動であり、例えばこれはスマートデバイス上でIPを展開する目的の一つでもありますが、当社ゲーム専用機上で展開するだけではメッセージをお届けできない皆様への認知度向上努力も含まれます。

Nintendo is the most important in terms of going to improve the revenue future, Nintendo is going to focus. Do may believe that NX business. Active use of IP as well, is one of the measures for the Nintendo core business activation, such as NX, to is not intended to significantly increase the revenues go up from the IP of the license itself, even earnest to advance to such movie business Do correct in understanding that planning is not to be.

Kimishima: But we do currently various preparations and efforts as able to grow the core business after the sale for NX, as we would like repetition, so you talk next year for NX, today will refrain is more of a comment. Let's eat.

Miyamoto: I as a "fellow" view software General of Nintendo, even while involved in a unique game software development, and then you are in a position to run thinking about what can be done by using the Nintendo IP, profit by actively take advantage of the IP. I want to increase the is always thought.

While the amiibo Specific examples of the first series of IP active use was launched last year, as of today's presentation, we have already contributed to our performance. And this way, in the IP of active use, is an activity to improve the Company's performance in taking advantage of the IP but not limited to direct license revenue in a variety of ways, for example, which expand the IP on the smart device.

It is also one of the purposes of, but also includes the awareness effort to everyone that it is not possible to deliver the message only to expand our game a dedicated machine.

Hoping for some terrible investor questions. I'll always be a fan of the one from the 201...4? meeting when someone asked Iwata why he keeps talking about video games and when he'll get down to business.

 

[FZZ]

I don't care what anyone says

I will expect NX

;_;

How about that one from a couple of years back about giving free Nintendo games to investors?

I understood all of that.

Predictions:

1. Miitomo compatible with Wii Fit Balance Board.
2. 64DD games coming to Virtual Console
3. 25th Anniversary Sonic Game Exclusive to New 3DS
4. 3rd DLC Pack for Mario Kart 8 to be all stages based on Splatoon.
5. First Paid DLC for Splatoon to be Mario Kart 8 stages.

[madstarr12]

Expect the worst, and everything will be okay! NX is the Earth itself, YOU are the controller.

Before anyone asks where they can find the stream: NO

Where can I find the sutorimu?

 

[shrubsy_tree]

30 minutes until the $60 I gained the last 2 days in Nintendo stock disappears!

 

[Revven]

Hoping for MyNintendo worldwide launch news. That's all I'm hoping to hear about.

This is not a Nintendo Direct....

 

[Ōkami]

This one was also hilarious.

"I don't care about videogames, I consider them a waste of time, only invested in Nintendo because I like the name"

 

[Griss]

What I'm hoping for:
-A release window for Miitomo
-An update on how many mobile games Nintendo expects to publish in 2016
-An indication on when we'll get our first NX news - ie. what month or financial quarter
-Possible 'New Club Nintendo' details
-Some wacky questions involving the Seattle Mariners or expandable screens or whether the video game business is the right fit for Nintendo

This one was also hilarious.

"I don't care about videogames, I consider them a waste of time, only invested in Nintendo because I like the name"

That's what I was thinking about, lol.

 

[Spyder_Monkey]

Can't wait for nothing.

Nothing will be revealed.

5. First Paid DLC for Splatoon to be Mario Kart 8 stages.

Throw trailers for Metroid Prime 4 and Bayonetta 3 and I'd say is a quite accurate prediction.

 

[Pancake Mix]

Personally expecting an update on the mobile game releases with DeNA and the My Nintendo account system if anything. Miitomo and the account system are supposed to be introduced this March I believe. When was the last time one of these briefings introduced a normal game anyways? Was it the one with Pandora's Tower?

 

[KingBroly]

"Why do you refuse to release Mario Kart 8 on mobile and make me money?"

I mean...just come out and ask it, already, investors.

 

[-Horizon-]

Nothing will be revealed.

Depends on what the level of the 'reveals' are. They could finally give a more concrete date of when MyNintendo and whatnot will launch worldwide. That seems more realistic.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Who the hell would want that???

 

[KingBroly]

Who the hell would want that???

The type of people that ask these questions.

 

[Sterok]

My low expectations are a mobile game that has no chance of making real money. I don't trust them to go all in yet after Miitomo.

 

[Hilarion]

Yeah, you can expect at least one investor question to be something along the lines of "why are you wasting our money with a new video game machine when you could go full mobile?" Nintendo's investors like that question.

I'm hoping there's questions about the Universal Studios deal.

 

[Ecliptor]

Can you believe it guys? In less than 30 minutes we are gonna know everything about the NX. Everything!

I hope I'm not setting myself up for dissapoinment

 

[Rösti]

No update from any of the tweeters yet.

 

[madstarr12]

Who the hell would want that???

People who want to play those games but don't wanna buy the hardware for it.

No update from any of the tweeters yet.

Welp, the Ninja's got them before they even logged on!

 

[KingBroly]

I think they'll date Miitomo and Nintendo Account for the rest of the world

I also expect them to date when they'll talk about NX.

 

[ffdgh]

Who the hell would want that???

Pay a buck to not get coins from item boxes for a single race!

Thats are good expectations, also some forecast for next months and talk about some good strategies (Without reveal nothing).

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

The type of people that ask these questions.

I can't wait for them to ask Kimishima or Miyamoto if they are going to take any trips to Disneyland to get inspired for new games.

 

[Syf]

lol some of you don't know what a results briefing is I guess

 

[shrubsy_tree]

The only NX news I expect from this meeting is how it relates to the Nintendo ecosystem they are building.

meaning- in relation to MyNintendo, Nintendo Network, Nintendo Account, and how it may interact with other devices through this ecosystem...

 

[BY2K]

I also expect them to date when they'll talk about NX.

That's the absolute MOST I'm expecting and even then I only expect a "E3" as the answer.

 

[Kouriozan]

Stuff to remember :
My Nintendo : new reward program, currently released in Japan only.
Nintendo Account : new account system made with DeNA, launching next month.

 

[Jim_Cacher]

I expect Miimoto and the second mobile game. Other than these, no expectation.

 

[akashhhhh]

Remember QoL? Heh.

Yes sir.

'Next year for NX'. If I had any faith in Google translate, I'd flip a table.

You're the real Captain Buzzkill, not Wonder Red like Wonder Pink said.
