I'll keep my expectations low. What would they even talk to investors about, other than "The Switch will launch in March 2017. Please watch our preview trailer to understand the concept behind it."?
We were so young and naive.This thread was fun skimming through again. Ah the good old days.
Whatever info we'll get out of this will likely be light on substantial Switch news unless Mochizuki lost something in translation and they meant that they would only speak about the Switch before release and not after 2016.

should be interesting regardless
RIP Wii U
I'll never miss you

When he was asked about his decision to miss out on holiday sales, Mr. Kimishima explained his point of view, stating,
"When people finish the launch titles, they will want things to buy in spring, on summer break, at Christmas. As such, its not simply a question of when the hardwares ready; rather, we need to ensure our software lineup is also in a good place."
Mr. Kimishima also explained that sales predictions for the NX's launch were still uncertain. Finally, when asked if the NX would be more expensive than the Wii U, Mr. Kimishima responded,
"Its true there is a certain expectation for the prices of Nintendo consoles. Our developers put a lot into them, but we can not sell at a loss. The final price is determined by balancing these two conflicting ideas. I dont believe its as simple as because this is a new platform, we can make it more expensive.
A price would be nice. I fully anticipate "no updates until 2017," but who knows? Investors probably have more than enough questions to drill Kimishima-san into dropping more details.
if the price is high the should get that out of the way so the backlash can cool down a bitA price would be nice. I fully anticipate "no updates until 2017," but who knows? Investors probably have more than enough questions to drill Kimishima-san into dropping more details.
Let's hope there is some new Switch news. I get the feeling there won't be though
Financial Results Briefings usually have a Q&A, and members of the media will get to ask Tatsumi Kimishima questions about Nintendo Switch during the news conference in conjunction with the earnings release.So when the OP says a Corporate Management Policy Briefing is scheduled not to happen... What exactly are we missing out on?
Will there still be an opportunity for investors to ask questions? (Regardless of whether or not there is live tweeting)
Wasnt Kimishima supposed to be an acting CEO until they find the next one?
Wonder if that'll come up at the meeting.
conservative predictions:
brief summary of the switch video and their mission statement with the platform
new 3d mario trailer
metroid prime 4 announcement + trailer
smash for switch featuring ice climbers and snake
this is not a Direct and these are not at all conservative predictions for this
whoosh
No, that was never the case. He is the permenant CEO, for now.Wasnt Kimishima supposed to be an acting CEO until they find the next one?

OSAKA -- Nintendo is expected to report a 160% year-on-year increase in group net profit to around 30 billion yen ($289 million) for the April-September fiscal half thanks to the sale of a stake in the Seattle Mariners professional baseball team.
The profit surge came even as the strong yen led to foreign currency losses of roughly 40 billion yen.
The company booked an operating profit of 8.9 billion yen in the April-September period of 2015 but will likely report a loss of about 5 billion yen for the just-ended half.
I see no reason to expect anything other than maybe a sales projection for Switch.
Oh, and people saying that Nintendo is doomed due to the huge loss.
I'm hyped. Will probably stay up for by this.
Destroy me Nintendo.

Hopefully we have people this time actually talking about the thread topic instead of backseat modding.
