Nintendo Financial Results Briefing
Very good read about what Nintendo will do to try and turn their misfortunes around in this financial year.
Key Points:
- Confirmation of the Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire remakes coming this year
- Talking about third party software, mainly on 3DS
- Making games that can only be played by having the gamepad
- Quick start menu coming to the Wii U in the summer update
- Nintendo will continue to publish third party games for the west (think Bravely Default)
- Showing off the retail and download titles coming to Nintendo platforms this year
- Nintendo to take advantage of smart devices. This starts with the introduction of MK TV
- Expansion of the digital side
- Using NFC payment cards (Japan only)
- Raising brand awareness by licensing characters for merchandising
- Nintendo Figurine Platform to introduce NFC Characters and be usable with more than one piece of software (Wii U and 3DS)
Of course this will all be expanded on when it comes to E3 in a few weeks.
