GUYS! I was looking at the slides from the presentation and look at Link on the slide on page 4. That pose remind you of a certain Gamecube/Wii game

OH shit thats the same one from the retail store panel awhile back.. his full body though

 

[Mithos]

I am 33 and I love Miis

They need to be upgraded though, like some of the "third party" Mii versions or the Smash Bros upgrade versions.

 

[BoboBrazil]

I am 33 and I love Miis

What do you love about them?

There it is.

That's the same art used in the new store displays as well.

 

[Meesh]

Weird for me... I'm about to leave a Nintendo thread completely devoid of any emotion. Neutral. I have achieved complete peace and clarity.

 

[Toparaman]

My man Tak.

 

[Sealtest]

Yo, going back to them talking about being able to transfer data between mobile phones and consoles, if they make it so you can Streetpass people with just your phone then that would be awesome.

It's almost 2 perfect. But I doubt they'd do that

 

[ffdgh]

GUYS! I was looking at the slides from the presentation and look at Link on the slide on page 4. That pose remind you of a certain Gamecube/Wii game

Damn it all just announce it already!

 

[Effect]

That's actually quite the opposite, mobile fans in their 20's have been dying for Nintendo to get on the mobile space forever

The problem is those people keep wrongly expecting Nintendo to put it's hand held games on mobile and that's not happening. They aren't going to be getting Mario platformer, etc. Nintendo has said as much over and over again. Yet people keep thinking it's going to happen and then they'll get made over something they were told wasn't going to happen.

 

[GreatNumber]

So is Miitomo going to essentially be like a Nintendo second life on phones?

 

[Zen_Arcade]

Seriously who likes miis? I don't know anyone that cares about them. I'm not in the 3-11 age market they are probably looking at though.

A shitload of people. And not in the 3-11 age market you're talking about. There is a picture in this thread showing a game that showcases Mii's that sold over four million copies.

Like, you have to be living under a rock to not know that Mii's are one of Nintendo's most popular creations since they came out.

 

[Enter the Dragon Punch]

Miitomo gives me faith that Nintendo won't be ditching the Wii branding for the NX

 

[Obliterator]

This is being made by a core team within the company. It's definitely being taken seriously.

Eh somewhat. Read everything thats coming out right now. The most surprising thing to me out of this is how little Nintendo themselves seem to be focusing on Mobile. Sounds like NX is the main priority for the company

Cmon dude, you are trying too hard.

Change that into a :-|

They can (and will) keep Miis. Doesn't mean "Wii" will stay

 

[SatoAilDarko]

slides

.

It's Tomodachi.

 

[Carl7]

So, no pokemon z?

 

[AdanVC]

GUYS! I was looking at the slides from the presentation and look at Link on the slide on page 4. That pose remind you of a certain Gamecube/Wii game

Holy shit indeed!! Is the actual new render of Link we've been very intrigued since the rumor of TPHD! First time we see him full body. This is the real megaton of todays presentation.

 

[Shikamaru Ninja]

This is being made by a core team within the company. It's definitely being taken seriously.

Shinya Takahashi of Nintendo EPD basically confirmed its an internal title. Nintendo just reorganized its entire internal division and mentioned Mobile and Dedicated Game System as their main objectives.

This is definitely Sakamoto's team (now inside Nintendo EPD).

 

[MR ARCADE FOREVER]

So Miimoto will replace Tinder?

 

[Gnilres]

GUYS! I was looking at the slides from the presentation and look at Link on the slide on page 4. That pose remind you of a certain Gamecube/Wii game

Welp. TPHD announcement is close. He did mention unannounced games coming out in 2015 too.

 

[Brofield]

GUYS! I was looking at the slides from the presentation and look at Link on the slide on page 4. That pose remind you of a certain Gamecube/Wii game

I wish these slides were larger to view; that is microscopic

 

[Jaded Alyx]

newsflash: Tomodachi Life performed the worst in America

newsflash: Tomodachi Life did not perform badly in America.

a.k.a. what's your point?

 

[Choomp]

Miitomo sounds like my kinda thing, looks like Tomodachi Life on mobile

 

[joffocakes]

Tomodachi is an amazing choice for a mobile phone game: if it managed to become as popular as it did as a full price 3DS retail game then it's sure to do brilliantly as a cheap/free to download game.

The 3DS game is charming and hilarious.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Eh somewhat. Read everything thats coming out right now. The most surprising thing to me out of this is gow little Nintendo themselves seem to be focusing on Mobile. Sounds like NX is the main priority for the company

Sure, but they're still developing these mobile games themselves, with help from DeNA.

NX is likely their bigger focus though, no doubt.

 

[Sandfox]

So, no pokemon z?

That wasn't going to be announced here.

 

[Astral Dog]

Good that was the intention

 

[Cbajd5]

So, no pokemon z?

TBA Using Miitomo

 

[randomlee26]

A mobile Tomodachi Life is a great idea, actually. But I don't wanna pay real money for a new wallpaper or hat.

 

[doop_]

So, no pokemon z?

obviously not, is it that hard for people to understand

 

[El Pescado]

What do you love about them?

I love making my friends and family and using them in games? Tomodachi Life is like one of my most played 3DS games and I love their implementation in Smash.

 

[-Horizon-]

What do you love about them?

I like that I could make a Lucina mii and marry her in Tomodachi Life :T

 

[Cosmo Clock 21]

 

[sinxtanx]

Looks like the Nintendo Account will work with pretty much most accounts

 

[konjak]

So yeah, they made a game centered on Japan first. It looks like a promising attempt for that market. I thought people didn't want to play the big IPs on phones?

Things like Wario Ware is gonna have far less appeal to the Japanese market than something similar to Tomodatchi.

 

[Japanmanx3]

Seriously who likes miis? I don't know anyone that cares about them. I'm not in the 3-11 age market they are probably looking at though.

The worst kind of post smh...

 

[Ōkami]

New membership program referred to My Nintendo on the slides.

Also.

Theme parks and movies as future endeavours.

 

[Father_Brain]

Senior Managing Director Shigeru Miyamoto says DeNA will help operate the smartphone games, while Nintendo will focus on ways to guide users to its hardware.

The five smartphone apps won’t soon comprise half of sales, Mr. Kimishima says. Nintendo’s goal is to use smart devices to increase the value of its IP, which will help sales of both software and hardware, he says.

"Oh boy, those F2P Mario and Kirby games made that subway trip fly by! I sure would love to spend $200 on new hardware so I can play $60 games featuring those characters!"

I'm not sure how much they actually believe this and how much of this is spin meant to exude confidence in the future of their hardware business, but either way, it's delusional nonsense.

 

[Regiruler]

They remembered google plus exists?

Sold

Right strategy that was already announce by Iwata. Will be interesting to see NX details in the January investors meeting.

 

[Pro from Dover]

Ask the right questions, investors! Like, Twilight Princess HD? Working with Platinum some more? And... and...
Yeah, those questions! (please, that would be nice of you)

 

[RaidenXZ]

Ya, the Link picture is small but if I remember correctly, the Link picture in the store displays had his Master Sword sheathed on his back which caused some doubt, but this all but confirms TPHD now that the pose is EXACTLY like that original TP art of Link holding the sword.

 

[Kouriozan]

This is definitely Sakamoto's team (now inside Nintendo EPD).

That's why I'm looking forward to it.

 

[Toparaman]

Miitomo screens look nice and clean.

GUYS! I was looking at the slides from the presentation and look at Link on the slide on page 4. That pose remind you of a certain Gamecube/Wii game

Oooo, does this mean TP HD is going to be more vivid and colorful?

 

[Hugstable]

Miitomo gives me faith that Nintendo won't be ditching the Wii branding for the NX

Mii U system incoming

 

[javac]

On the reason for the delay of the smartphone app, Mr. Kimishima says, is the need for more lead time to fully promote and explain Miitomo. The company is busy promoting other titles in the pipeline right now, he says. It will start promoting Miitomo after the year-end holiday season. Says this will have little impact on earnings.

People like the game, not the Miis themselves. I don't know anyone that likes that Miis.

Ask about TPHD pls

Well they're probably not going to just make Mario and Kirby platformers for cell phones. This is kind of like saying that no one is going to buy Fallout 4 because Fallout Shelter exist.
