I wonder if they'll ask weird questions like they do sometimes.

 

[Oersted]

First question about some crazy cosplayer who crashed a party

Q1: I feel Japan PM Abe appearing at Rio Olympics closing ceremony w/ Mario costume affects Mario’s image negatively. Why did he appear?

 

[Vic]

Damn, that poignant first question.

 

[kuroneko0509]

I wonder if they'll ask weird questions like they do sometimes.

well, 1st question is about abemario during Olympic closing.....

 

[Maxinas]

Asking the questions that need answering. Nice.

 

[Kouriozan]

Took almost one year for them to wonder about that.

 

[OfficerRaichu15]

The fuck with that question lol?

 

[Dark Cloud]

https://twitter.com/cvxfreak/status/880236587765841924

Lmao 😂 omg these guys I tell you.

 

[Geno Breaker]

Abe is a right wing war crime denier no?

 

[AquaWateria]

https://twitter.com/cvxfreak/status/880236587765841924

lol

Lmao.

Getting straight into the nitty and gritty I see.

 

[Gaspard]

These shareholders are something else I swear

 

[Nanashrew]

A1 via Kimishima: It wasn’t just Mario; the aim was to show Japan’s cultural appeal to world through its companies’ characters… (1/2)

https://twitter.com/cvxfreak/status/880237422646140929

A1 cont’d: therefore we accepted request. It wasn’t Nintendo alone. This has several meanings; received positive remarks from around world

 

[Dark Cloud]

Abe is a right wing war crime denier no?

I'm not sure, but its been a year. I don't see any negative impact on Mario since then.

lol

Nintendo shareholder meetings are a treasure some times.

 

[tiijj]

But they do ask good questions too, Q2 is good.

 

[UnemployedVillain]

These fucking shareholders

 

[Serenitynow]

But they do ask good questions too, Q2 is good.

If the question is as I understand it, will Nintendo publish their games on PC, it's not that great.

 

[kuroneko0509]

kimishima's answer on q2 is as expected

 

[Nanashrew]

https://twitter.com/cvxfreak/status/880237814960365568

Q2: Game industry has 3 segments: mobile/consoles/PC. PC expanding greatly, programmers being birthed overseas… (1/2)

https://twitter.com/cvxfreak/status/880237904936620032

Q2 cont’d: Does Nintendo plan to make PC software/hardware? (2/2)

 

[J@hranimo]

Oh man, asking about PC? We know the answer to this but interesting to ask it regardless.

 

[Oersted]

Still no questions about Mario lore

You had one job shareholders

 

[Trago]

Whoever asked about PC is the man. Answer is expected tho.

 

[Nanashrew]

https://twitter.com/cvxfreak/status/880238671152128000

A2: Kimishima: We’re aware there are many PC users. Our unified soft/hardware approach is good. However, we also support smartphones. (1/2)

https://twitter.com/cvxfreak/status/880239087638126594

Thanks to smartphones, Nintendo IPs are recognized, leading to returns on console front. Please see videos of our E3 announcements. (2/2)

 

[tiijj]

If the question is as I understand it, will Nintendo publish their games on PC, it's not that great.

What Im seeing from the is that since nintendo has ventured outside its own ecosystem by releasing stuff to mobile (ios and android), he or she's probably asking if they will release software (games or apps) or hardware (accessories or something that might tie in to 3DS or switch). But dumb Q to ask tho since they probably wouldnt answer directly but I like the Q.

 

[Nanashrew]

Answer was completely expected, just like how I don't see Sony releasing their first party titles on PC.

 

[tiijj]

Answer was completely expected, just like how I don't see Sony releasing their first party titles on PC.

It doesn't have to be 1st part title or games, it could be something that compliment the switch or 3ds but from that question it's probably asking for nintendo releasing pc games lol

 

[Serenitynow]

There better be at least one question about Switch stock.

 

[Dark Cloud]

There better be a question about a N64 Mini! Hehe

 

[Trago]

It doesn't have to be 1st part title or games, it could be something that compliment the switch or 3ds but from that question it's probably asking for nintendo releasing pc games lol

Hell, a VC on PC would ensure that I'll only ever have to buy SMB3 one time digitally and keep it instead of buying it three different times on three different consoles lol.

 

[UnemployedVillain]

Then there's no point. Mobile is different enough that you can warrant making decidedly different styled games exclusively for it. You can't really do that with PC unless they're simple web games, or companion games (which again, would be better suited for mobile)

Hell, a VC on PC would ensure that I'll only ever have to buy SMB3 one time digitally and keep it instead of buying it three different times on three different consoles lol.

You're acting like it was the HW that prevented this. Nintendo could have made VC content fully BC if they wanted to, but they were too concerned with their 100% perfect emulation so instead of going with base emulator + roms every VC title is its own emulator + rom package

 

[rudger]

Why can't they at least release an app to store save files on PC/Mac like the 3DS has?!

Also this is my first time being able to post during a Nintendo meeting...I am more excited than I should be.

 

[Nanashrew]

Oh more for question 2.

https://twitter.com/cvxfreak/status/880239937290817536

A2: Shinya Takahashi: ”We were at E3 2 wks ago w/ Mario Odyssey. This year public had access for 1st time; 50K industry; 15K public. (1/2)

https://twitter.com/cvxfreak/status/880240344142565376

A2: Takahashi: Ppl lined up at Nintendo booth since early morning. Hard to see floor. Last day usually less busy but not this year (2/2

https://twitter.com/cvxfreak/status/880240965516001280

A2: Miyamoto: I participated in Rabbids PR/special presentation. Tons of attention towards Nintendo; seems PC didn't have as much this year

 

[BRSxIgnition]

Do we usually get questions asking them to clarify release windows from E3?

Yoshi, Kirby, Metroid Prime 4, and Pokemon all have vague release windows and I wouldn't mind having a window for Prime.

 

[Not]

Dodged that PC question like Ali

 

[maxcriden]

I don't think so, unfortunately.

 

[OfficerRaichu15]

Miyamoto with the PC shade

Piracy.

“It’s everything from not only how is it going to work but it’s also how we do this in a way that doesn’t lend itself to piracy or systems or our core software infrastructure that can be modded or hacked.”

 

[ReitStuff]

Hope someone asks them about Nintendo pants again.

 

[Trago]

You're acting like it was the HW that prevented this. Nintendo could have made VC content fully BC if they wanted to, but they were too concerned with their 100% perfect emulation so instead of going with base emulator + roms every VC title is its own emulator + rom package

Still, I'd love for Nintendo to consider something with the PC platform, but their mobile efforts are basically to get their IP's out to the casual audience to go buy their consoles. The PC crowd probably already knows of their ip's.

 

[Laevateinn]

These fucking shareholders

These fucking liberal democratic party members

Q3: There were many NES/SNES games but relatively few for Wii U, which had short lifespan. Is Switch doing well? (1/2)

https://twitter.com/cvxfreak/status/880241502542118912

Q3: I read about Zelda’s 300-person debug team, but I think that’s a very good thing that should continue.
