I personally don't see much point. Might as well just wait until it's over and make a thread about the announcements.
Okay. Sorry if you felt I was being rude.

I would, but it would be downright boring, and who wants to read a thread made by me? No one, that's who.

Well at least I'll be notified of this.
The notification comes with the erasure of all your files.

Why not?
We'll get some good talking points out of it regardless of news.

Obviously someone has self-esteem issues.
I actually successfully hit on a woman with the 3ds two days ago. I was drawing her in colors, and then I was hey wanna check out this.. I drew you
This is either incredibly smooth or unbelievably creepy.

Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.
Terrible article on Forbes... (not linking)
"Will Nintendo's Pride Be Its Downfall?"
"Will Nintendo's Pride Be Its Downfall?"
Women like Nintendo, it seems. Well, at least, they're more likely to like it over other gaming stuff."I'd rather die than be seen with a 3ds."

I really like this about the fan community; having more women around is awesome.

I vote smooth. If it works and she didn't run off screaming then it's gotta be. There's a thin line between smooth and creepy in just about anything.

Also, I really hate to be this guy, but I just woke up from an all-nighter recovery session. Last thing I saw was Nintendo's losses coming in under projections. Anything new after that?

Some of you need to calm down about this investors meetingits not e3 you know.
Well, we got info on NiN last time, so it shouldn't be to much to ask for just a bit more info on NiN or the Wii U.

Make me a Bingo card template, and I'm all up for it d:
God dammit Nintendo! Why won't you go iOS only? Sure, you'll probably have to fire tons of people and sell off huge parts of the company to live as a much smaller iOS developer, but so what? Stupid prideful Nintendo.
I did not read the article.

How many times do we have to show how much we got last time to you pessimists. Here it is, from the last investors meeting:
Wii U:
User accounts: Wii U will have individual user accounts, rather than one system-wide account.
NFC: Near Field Communication ("touch" data transmission from accessories, credit cards, etc... sort of like QR/Streetpass combined) will be built-in.
Online: Miyamoto: "Network has to have a totally new concept to be different."
3DS:
NSMB 3DS announced: Planning to release a totally new side-scrolling action Super Mario in 2D as a key title for the Nintendo 3DS in the next fiscal year.
200 3DS titles in development.
Nintendo first-party DLC: Nintendo considering DLC for their own software, mentions "Super Mario" as an example:
"If a Super Mario user gets tired, we can then sell digital extras which will drive extra revenue, encourage higher communication amongst users, and possible increased satisfaction and hardware install bases."
More Swapnote-like apps? Because of the success of Swapnote, Nintendo is considering other strategies to benefit from this social behaviour.
"Path to profits is improve 3DS and focus on software. Super Mario titles will drive a lot of profitability."
60% of 3DS users have connected to the Internet; wants to expand digital offering, but at "infant stage" now.
Iwata: "Nintendo's priority is to satisfy existing 3DS users, as well as to prepare titles that will expand the user base combined with network."
General (wiiU and 3DS):
Third parties: Several new, previously unconsidered alliances/partnerships with third parties.
Communities: You haven't seen the last of them!
Retail title downloads: 3DS and Wii U both support digital download of retail titles, but... they still aren't quite sure how to implement it just yet.
Item billing: "We should not decline third parties if they want to offer item billing" (paying to unlock content).
DLC: Still planning to offer DLC (possibly talking about their own software), but needs more time to complete its feasibility study on the market and its needs.
More sharing: "Digital will include user to user communications and sharing" (More social networking integration? More Swapnote-like apps? More emphasis on Streetpass/Spotpass?).
Better-paced software + DLC: Nintendo has learnt that it shouldn't have stagnant periods between software launches: can fill the gap, and DLC can extend the life of a title.
Asia: Planning products for Asia, local partners (WiiQue U?) yet to be announced; still issues of copyright.
This will be Nintendo's worst financial year, but Iwata thinks the company can reach break-even on 3DS hardware in Q3 of this year.
Miyamoto still around, Iwata angry at Wired. "Miyamoto is saying his basic work is to create a big hit."
Wii U:
User accounts: Wii U will have individual user accounts, rather than one system-wide account.
NFC: Near Field Communication ("touch" data transmission from accessories, credit cards, etc... sort of like QR/Streetpass combined) will be built-in.

That was basically what it said.
Yup! Stuff like, "look at all of the ultra-cool games! Games that'll sell millions-upon-millions of copies! And look at these network features! Such gamechangers!"

Do eet.
Hmm.. some color. I'm getting tired of the all-white scheme. If it's customizable, even better.
And if they can do something not as plain, maybe spice it up so that it's not all channel after channel.. that'd definitely be welcome.

I would bet that the OS will be very similar to the 3DS OS, seeing as 3DS is kind-of an evolution of the Wii OS.
Easy solution, homebrew your Wii ;D
They just have to make Wii U easily hackable and we're fine, you hear that Nintendo? Especially the region lock part Nintendo, it already has "lock" in it you don't need to secure it alright guys?!
I can't imagine the OS to be substantially different from the 3DS one honestly. (^ Grrr *shakefist* ♥
Right. I've said it once already but a huge improvement would be the access to WALLPAPERS. That would instantly revitalize the homescreen when needed.
They could also take a look at MS's Metro UI. I'm a sucker for minimalism, and I think with Ninty's spin on it, it could be something cool.

I believe that Nintendo reported after the close of stock trading. If it's like the US, then the market doesn't actually open up and react to the next for another two or three hours.
That is currently *yesterday's* chart, from before Nintendo's report, unless I'm mixing up my Japan Time.
Well, if I don't have time to revise it from last night*, this is what I got so far:
* I won, by the way. Got like twelve simultaneous bingos.

I'm thinking it probably will go up, losses were a lot lower than forcast and lower it seems than analysts predicted

It's actually quite impressive how quick Forbes has been to slightly alter individual words (Donkey Kong Country Returns is now referred to a "reimaging" of the older titles instead of a remake, for instance) to become correct while still sounding like the original, wildly inaccurate, text.

I vote black and white checkerboard, just like the zentai I ordered last night.
obviously with my bingo winnings
Iwata, quick! …shut up.
Amazing.

Make one BY2K.
I made the last one (even though everyone said take a wait and see approach/nothing is going to be announced) and we all know the Q&A turned out to be pretty great considering what it is. Just try and keep the OP updated so everyone can be on the same page discussion-wise.
Also, it fills people in that don't follow Nintendo religiously that some new news could be released, and also brings other users into the discussion that don't visit this thread.
