Nintendo's 75th Annual General Meeting of Shareholders | June 26, 10 a.m. JST
How long after the meeting do we typically get the Q&A translations?
You're probably going to be in luck. If you track backwards to 2014, every investor meeting but one had something partially or fully related to the topic.

The best time to buy would have been before the DeNA announcement when their stock value nearly doubled.
yeah the announcement was big for them, but right now their stock value is based on speculation more than performance. There's potential for a big downside there if expectations aren't met. When are they actually releasing some mobile games? End of the year in Japan?

Decentralize power from NCL, restore NoA and NoE autonomy and rebuild Nintendo's western development division would be even better.
Yes, a western member on the board would give the global company touch Nintendo needs right now. They're way too much japanese-centric for their own sake. Unfortunately, given how much power, control and influence Iwata holds on Nintendo's board of directors and shareholders, is very unlikely he'll be removed or a substantial change of direction will take place.
cool, i'm very curious to see what their stock does. I used to have some but sold it in late January after a positive earnings call did nothing for the stock value (in fact it dropped pretty dramatically the day after earnings). Of course if I had just held onto it I would have been laughing all the way to the bank after the mobile announcement.
My mistake was not sticking to my original plan, which was to hold the stock until they made lightning strike again. I've always believed that Nintendo is a company capable of hitting huge home runs, and they still might again (in fact I'm confident they will) but I just don't expect it to happen anytime soon, and would rather just invest that money somewhere else (which is what I did with the money from selling them, and I did alright on it).
Anyway, I might buy them again still haha, but if I can I'd like to do it in the $18-19 range.

Just a reminder that, for those of us in the US, the shareholders meeting takes place tonight.
Yes. Have to pay to get there yourself.I have one of these... can i attend the meeting? XD
Thanks! Looking forward to this. Can we expect Iwata revealing something big in here?

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
Today is the day. I'm hoping a Twitter user will be among those who are at the meeting.
Don't know why they don't have a webcast.

Hopefully, something spicy really comes out of this meeting. Even just one tidbit about one of the most recurring arguments (NX, IP partnerships, membership service, DLC sales, digital overall, mobile) would be enough.
Are we really sure we could get such tidbits from the shareholder meeting, though?

We should get some details as soon as its over, just depends on how long it lasts.

Twitter user NStyles usually live-tweets and Cheesemeister, as per usual, translates. That's the way it was last year, at least. We were getting updates, pretty quickly, too.

Who's getting fired today?
I want something juicy about the membership service.

Now, I have stock in nintendo but purchased through share builder/capital one... but it would be quite awesome to have an actual share (or 50) on legit paper like that... how did you go about getting that?

Iwata.
He's getting some fried chicken.
Uh, why exactly would we want this? The point of this meeting is for complex questions.
we need an end to #CanteenGate.
"Mr Iwata...Team Callie or Team Marie?"
That's like the opposite point of this whole thing. Why coddle them when the company has some things to answer to?

That new Pokemeon MMO isn't just going to announce itself!
Still feels funny. All this years, and here we are...excited about a shareholders meeting! XD
I do hope tbat some don't expect Direct-like announcements.
Not really. I'm sure there will be some interesting stuff in there though.

Zelda Wii U December 2015
NX Spring 2016
Metroid Prime NX Launch Title
Smash Bros. 5 Launch
Super Mario Galaxy 3
Gamecube VC + Super Mario Sunshine HD
Only the minor stuff, really. Hah.
Honestly, though, I think the majority of people that follow these things know the kind of information we get from them. I think it's one of the few times that Nintendo hype is kept in check.

If this is your first shareholders meeting, here's a link with translations of the past meetings. Use these to get more of an idea of what to expect.

Nope,
Just small statements about the direction of the company and updates on business operations.
They'll mostly talk about reasons for what they did in the past and will do in the future. Don't expect new games or anything like that.

well that's pretty nifty. I bought some Nintendo against what I said previously in this thread because I am a fool and also can't stand looking at uninvested money in my brokerage account. today was quite good for them so hopefully tomorrow continues on that path.
Its interesting that no main Pokemon game was announced this year, if the NX is going to play all games, rather if its a hybrid console or NX handheld and NX home console, the mainline Pokemon game will be on the home console for the first time.
They wont have to go graphics heavy either just similar to DQ X graphics.

I've said it quite a bit in the past, but despite floundering on the Wii U front, these past couple years have been very important for Nintendo and their fans. What Reggie said during their Digital Event was that they're transforming, and it's true. They're starting to take notice that in order to keep their business alive, they can't rest their laurels on game consoles and software. Sony and Microsoft have business ventures outside of the industry, and I think it's very important for Nintendo to do the same.
Probably because it's a meeting for investors and they web conference foreign investors in via private means. It's not an event for us and never will be.
Well, one of their directors ends his term on the executive board as of the end of this past fiscal year, so...

Any guesses on what kinds of graphs they'll use? I'm really hoping for some bar graphs, but line graphs would blow me away.

I almost forgot about this meeting. This should be interesting! Admittedly I want to know more about what character merchandising they'll be doing.
Official Ridley plushie let's go
I agree, however I'd like to see what exactly Nintendo plan to do in these other sectors first. As of right now I don't have a huge amount of confidence in how they're approaching this transformation.
But I can't judge before I've seen the plans and implementation.
Keep talking.....
Hino on the Board...
