I would but that doesn't make any sense.100%
Expect the fact that we won't hear anything about it this year.

ggx2ac said:I'm going to give a hypothetical preview of how Nintendo's first financial quarter meeting goes with their investors on July 27th (JST)
Nintendo reps will give their presentation and talk about the success of Pokémon Go, they will do their utmost to present a positive image.
They will most likely point out how fast the title reached the top of iOS/android charts worldwide, show footage of crowds playing PKMN Go, I don't know if they can disclose revenue since that's from Niantic & Pokémon Company.
They will then discuss features that will be added to the game such as trading & battling. They will also show the Pokémon Go Plus accessory that will be released soon as well.
They will then reassure investors with a forecast of a bar or line graph with a cumulative distribution. (As in, it will show an increase over time to show growth)
Note: I think this was for revenue of Pokémon Go.
After that they will talk about the release/details of the Fire Emblem and Animal Crossing mobile games in Autumn (relative to Japan)
Because of the success of Pokémon Go, they can avoid the pressure of having to reveal any details of NX & remind its reveal later in the year.
They will remind investors of upcoming products for the end of the year including Pokémon sun/moon and the NES Mini classic.
To avoid making their Wii U and 3DS shipments looking bad. They will put Worldwide total shipment numbers over time in a bar graph with a Cumulative distribution. So that everything over time looks like it is increasing to please investors. Repeat this for any software sales and amiibo and digital sales. Again pointing out that sales will always be in a cumulative distribution so you can't "see" down periods.
During Q & A, an investor that enjoyed the sudden growth in stock price asks "when is there going to be a sequel for Pokémon Go?".
Another investor will ask and request for Gacha (gambling) mechanics to be put into Pokémon Go for it to make more money.
Expect investors to ask questions where they ramble about something and then throw in 2 or 3 questions in one sentence to bewilder Kimishima
Of course, depending on the outcome. As in, not expecting any major announcements like NX reveal date. Expect the stock price to fall.
Still holding on to that Pikmin exists for NX theory?
You expect us to believe that Miyamoto said he's working on a Pikmin game and then they reveal a Pikmin game and somehow that game is the game he was working on?
That'd be like if that Star Fox game he hinted that he was working on was actually Star Fox Zero.

"We will not be discussing NX today. Please look forward to the reveal which will take place at a later date."
If NX isn't revealed before that, it's either that it's delayed or that this product is an afterthought
Yeah honestly I think it'll look bad on them if they announce a delay AT the meeting. I feel like were going to get SOMETHING before then.

With regards to Pikmin - did Miyamoto actually call it "Pikmin 4" or did he just say "a new Pikmin"?
I'm pretty sure what we saw is what he was talking about, unless Nintendo are planning to launch a Pikmin game for the 3DS and a Pikmin game for the NX around the same time.
In the hypothetical case where NX did get delayed, I don't see why they wouldn't hold that until the meeting. Even if they reveal it beforehand, investors are likely to grill them on it either way.
It makes more sense to just do things at once rather than have the timeframe of "announce NX delay --> announce expected NX shipments and when they plan to reveal it at the meeting --> actually reveal it".
I really hope they don't wait till this meeting to give NX news. They really need the public to see this console.
Investors need time to calm down. Having a knee-jerk reactions at the meeting doesn't sound too good, if it's going to be delayed we'll hear about it before the meeting.

They announced Miitomo's delay at an investor's meeting last year, along with the explanation of why and what effect it would've had on earnings.
Granted an NX delay would be a bigger deal than that, especially if it misses the FY entirely, but I don't think it's unthinkable for it to happen then, really. If I had to guess, I wouldn't 100% rule it out, but then again I'm not an expert so what do I know.
If Nintendo does need to delay it and they reveal the system beforehand, my guess is that they'll do it at the same time as the reveal because then the new games, excitement for the system etc. would distract from its pushback.
EDIT: The more I think about it, if delaying the system would require them to change their forecasts for the FY, that'd probably require them to say something beforehand.
Again, all of this is assuming a delay would happen, which I'm not sure of.
Yeah I see what you're trying to say, but imo, a delay isn't likely once you look into it. If you believe a delay is likely, please tell me as to why you believe this to be the case with something other than
"They haven't talked about it", "they've delayed botw before" and "idk pessimism lol"
The holiday season is too important for Nintendo, they won't announce NX this year, it'd kill 3DS and Wii U sales. (but apparently Kimishima promised a reveal in 2016?)
I'm sticking to January reveal and March launch.

Revealing the NX in January is not the end of the world. It would be a plus for Nintendo, actually. They'd have the hype, price, release date, games, services etc all pretty much set in stone. It's better to do an impactful reveal than a shitty one.Better kill NX because it may kill Wii U and 3DS sales :")
New consoles happens all the time. If they want to maintain sales while announcing a new hardware, they better drop the prices or bring some bundles. That's how people usually do when they announce a new platform.

I'm very well aware that there's a chance for a 2016 reveal even if it hurts their sales. It wouldn't be first, like you said.
And to everyone saying WHAT SALES, well, 10 units sold is still more than 1.

You what? Where's your evidence for a delay? Seriously, where is it. I'm sick of everyone saying it's delayed "just because I said so" Provide some evidence instead of just pulling this out of your ass.

I can't wait to see the reactions after we hear...
We look forward to talking more about the NX later this year
Who isn't given Miyamoto said Pikmin 4 was nearly done and we haven't seen a peep of it?
If they delay talking about NX then it'll be until at least January.I can't wait to see the reactions after we hear...
I look forward to our first major NX info on October 26th.
Seems a little hard to believe that there is some other Pikmin game still in development that is not that weird 3DS game.
Everyone has wild theories about it though. Extrapolating translated Miyamoto quotes as corroboration that he was never referring to Pikmin for 3DS, you know the one that actually was announced and has been in development, but rather another Pikmin being developed for NX.
We don't know if it wasn't just the 3DS game.
Well here's the original article. Miyamoto himself called it the "next one" but Nintendo confirmed it as Pikmin 4 specifically.
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2014-07-20-pikmin-4-in-development-and-very-close-to-completion
It certainly wouldn't surprise me for them to make one for 3DS and one for NX considering they sort of have a history of doing stuff like that.
-
I'm preparing for an announcement of a delay if nothing comes before the investor meeting. That's just my pessimism after how Zelda was delayed in one and the NX was initially announced for 2017 in that same one.
Ah, right.
I found another article where Miyamoto mentions the reason we haven't seen it "sooner" is due to "prioritization".
http://www.gamespot.com/articles/pikmin-4-still-happening-miyamoto-assures/1100-6441577/
Given that this is one of the only first-party 3DS games for 2017, I have a feeling the game was supposed to come out this year but in the absence of anything else + NX being released in March, they moved it to 2017 to spread out the 3DS's release schedule.
Honestly for me I'm just applying Occam's razor here. Miyamoto says there's a Pikmin game that's almost done and there's a Pikmin for the 3DS that looks to be almost done. I think there probably is an inevitable Pikmin game for the NX, but it's probably not the game Miyamoto was describing.
It's Nintendo. Why did they only announce Picross 3D a few weeks ago when it was localised last year already? Why did they announce Twilight Princess HD and Majora's Mask only about year after they were finished? Why did they wait half a year to release Metroid Prime 3DS?
With nothing else on the horizon, they want to spread out their releases and not take away attention from the games that release first.
We are having a countdown for a financial meetings now?
Possibly. I can definitely see that.
But I also wanna apply Occam's razor and think that Pikmin 4 means Pikmin 4 the way that everyone and their mom would assume when they hear it, and Nintendo aren't being dunderheads about this. Also why would they be coy about the platform if it's just 3DS.
