At the very least once, but it was never actually announced as 2016 during a shareholder's meeting, only TBA.

More talk of films...when will we hear about this? Could it be the Wreck-It Ralph 2 and Mario rumor? Dedicated films? I hope we learn about some of these plans no later than the end of 2017.

The bolded statement means that Mobiles and NX (Dedicated Game devices) which have a focus for My Nintendo.
Zelda had better be a goddamn launch title, I tell you what. I can wait personally, but for Nintendo's sake.
They're saying they want to to go on the Mario Rides at Universal Studios.
They want to make a Nintendo IP TV show.
This has nothing to do with console power.
I stand by my interpretation. He said this:
I think he meant Pokemon.
No, I'm teasing, I know it's you. I understand what you meant now

It's part of the DeNA partnership which will be the core of NX.
Yup great point, also I dont think they made an announcement to shareholders about Zelda coming like they are with the NX thats pretty big to just delay with nothing coming out to make lots of money.

Oh, cool, gotcha.
Personally hopin' for Kirby to be the fourth mobile app....And Paper Mario! (ETA: oh, you meant for next year. Whoops.)
Well at least they confirmed it's basically dead
first question about gender imbalance? shit
This is obviously just PR, they have effectively cut production and are trying to move the last of the stock.

Yeah I found that odd too, only mentioning Zelda for the Wii U. Might not mean anything significant, they may want to downplay NX for now.

Interesting first question given a recent CNN article about this
Samsung, Nintendo, Nissan and Kia Motors have exactly zero female board members.

Most likely getting into more forms of media/entertainment other than videogames.
Did anyone really think otherwise?

I love how people are responding to Cheese's translations on twitter. Literally why?

That first question is also incredibly important due to Nintendo trying to keep up the female-friendly image but failing to actually keep a great deal of the Wii and DS base which were female and integrating them fully.

Oh snap, calls for gender diversity in the directors. I know this kind of discussion is common in the US—is this also part of the cultural conversation in Japan? I wonder what the gender of the asker is.
EDIT: Wait, they don't have a computer? I hope they at least have a game system or some kind of tech in their house. Otherwise, why do they have stock in modern Nintendo?

Weird reasoning to want to have more females on the board.

Why is that a great first question?
I think sites are reporting on him being a source of a 'live blog' of the event, without giving context that he's translating
Because nintendo keeps trying to give this inclusive/woman friendly view yet they don't have anyone on the board that's female. If anything it's just fantastic for them to be called out on it by an investor, no less. Makes nintendo aware how important inclusion is to making more of your audience feel welcome (and therefore potentially expand your audience). The fact that an investor said it, to their face, means that it's not just groups on the internet that want nintendo to be more inclusive of women.

(more bad google translations, take with a heap of salt)
First question seems to be about why there's no women on the Board of Directors.
Kimishima: No women on the board, but we use women in product development. The opinions of women when developing products is important. [Something about Reggie I don't understand]

You don't think it would be useful to have women on the board of directors?
That's a fairly standard reason to have a diverse board. The other big one is more diverse groups come to better decisions since they have different life experiences.
He wants the thoughts of women and old people to be taken into consideration

I think it is a legit question. But I don't understand the reasoning.
I see. Thanks for the clarification.
