Adding on to DestinyMan's previous post:

  • The briefing has been going on for two hours now, but we’re finally with the last question! It’s another discussion of why Nintendo is keeping both the console and software. “By combining the hardware and software, we can amplify our strength,” Mr. Iwata insists.
  • And that’s it for the strategy briefing. Thanks for stopping by and stay tuned for more on those mysterious “non-wearables”!

I hear all this talk of DS support, but whatever happened to the GBA content talked about so long ago?

It'll happen in due time.

If anyone remembers, they announced Miiverse for smartphones and 3DS, along side the Wii U, They may be slow to get these things running, but they are confirmed, and will happen eventually.

So they're looking to expand the range of their merchandise? That actually sounds pretty good. It'll be interesting to see what they do with that.

I'm actually feeling pretty positive after this. If they throw us a Nintendo Direct sometime soon, my spirits will be uplifted.

While Mario Kart 8 will be immensely fun, I can't lie that I'm a bit down on the fact that we have nothing outside of DKC:TF and MK8 for a whole 5 months, we also need a bit more clarity in regards to the future of the VC. It looks like we are heading towards a similar drought to the spring of 2013, I' goofed by buying a Nintendo console at launch, that's my mistake, lesson learned.

Iwata's remarks about character licensing.
"Also, we are planning to utilize Nintendo’s abundance of character IP more actively. I think the reason that Nintendo is now considered to have this “abundance of character IP” is perhaps because of our passive approach toward the character IP licensing business, which tends to have a high risk of damaging the value of the character. In other words, we think that spending time to develop our approach of having our characters appear mainly in our carefully selected games has created our current fortunate circumstances. However, we are going to change our policy going forward.
To be more precise, we will actively expand our character licensing business, including proactively finding appropriate partners. In fact, we have been actively selling character merchandise for about a year in the U.S.
Also, we will be flexible about forming licensing relationships in areas we did not license in the past, such as digital fields, provided we are not in direct competition and we can form win-win relationships.
By moving forward with such activities globally, we aim to increase consumer exposure to Nintendo characters by making them appear in places other than on video game platforms."

"fact"

"nothing"

don't make my "indies are the new 3rd party Wii games that everyone pretends don't exist" prediction come true. And I'd be surprised if Nintendo has literally nothing between those games.

Granted, Nintendo should still be hit in the face repeatedly for allowing any drought on any level at this point, but they're kinda saved by PS4 and Xbox One heading into their post-launch nogamez period.

I was thinking the exact same thing. Just look at Shinen, WayForward, etc. They're growing into bigger companies.

More like two and a half words, plus a number. Wreck-It Ralph 2.
