isn't that what Club Nintendo was?
I don't remember seeing discount coupons on Club Nintendo, unless you count the points cards for Wii/DSi online shops.

No, it's the Reward program.
So you DON'T want them to try and be sustainable for another generation?
Still not a TP fan. The only 3D Zelda I have been unable to finish. No idea why people fawn over it.
Kind of. It's pretty worrisome that they're still so focused on children. I'm pretty sure the average video game player is in their 30's. They really need to start focusing on that crowd as well.
Right, but they're not even mentioning the goals to get these other audiences. They only mention how to continue marketing to the crowd that they've already been focused on which happens to be the audience that obviously isn't enough to carry their brand.I guess you don't like the "reach more children" part?
Which is what Nintendo needs to do if they want to keep their IPs popular on the long term?
edit:
Doing one doesn't stop from doing the other. That's what they wanted to do with GC and WiiU. But children are there to make IPs work long term. Adults are there for other reasons (at launch, online services, digital, etc). Different audiences for different goals.
They need to though. Video games aren't just for children, and marketing solely to children isn't enough to keep a company afloat anymore.I will be shocked if they ever make any kind of serious attempt to compete directly with Sony/MS for the teen/adult male gamer, no matter how badly many people here want it. It's not in their DNA as a company, and hasn't been since Iwata et al. eviscerated NOA and NOE 15 or so years back.
Ask about TPHD pls
It's once again the focus on Kids.
Sorry for the shit quality:
Something is up for sure.

I am shocked so many people are hyped for Twlight Princess. I thought it was generally disliked around here.

Wow, I totally forgot it used to look like that.
Guess that end of the year Nintendo Direct will tell us something on when we can expect the Nintendo NX reveal
Is the zelda cycle real or what???
Its like TP was bashed until it was the next remake due out. Now everyone is fawning over it.
Hell, i remember at friggen release people were not impressed with it.
If a TP hd release is what we are going to accept as big news,
Gross.
It didn't work with N64, GameCube and Wii U, and it has even less chance of working now with the advent of hand-me-down tablets and smartphones, which will meet the gaming needs of most young children until they're five or so.I want them to try and be competitive on the console market. Hearing them say bring our IP's to more kids with NX, is what they've been doing with wii u and it obviously didn't work. Just want to hear them acknowledge the hardcore Nintendo fans.
I don't expect to hear any solid info about NX until the end of January next year. And they will either announce a show date or direct us to E3.

When have they not..? I can't think of many games made by Nintendo on, say, the SNES with "adult appeal" aside from maybe Super Metroid and Zelda. Even so, they're games have always been approachable to all demographics with a focus on selling to children.He thinks Nintendo focuses on kids too much
Mr. Kimishima: How can we make a completely different kind of game that nobody has ever thought of? Its the same issue we have always faced.

Would investor ask them to never work with platinum ever again.

It was down 10% 15-30 minutes agoLOL, that was fast.
I hope you weren't counting on an investors meeting on changing that.Oh well, I guess it's time for me to buy a PS4. Other than Xenoblade Chronicles there's pretty much nothing coming out soon on Wii U.

Because by only focusing on them, they're actively cutting out a huge portion of the video game market. They can't live on children and nostalgia forever.I really dont see what is wrong with this.
I can tell you now you won't hear shit worth hearing about it until e3
There is no Zelda there......
You say this with an avatar of Captain Falcon with a Cranky Kong face!?Yup. It's pretty hilarious that they're still desperately doubling down on that demographic despite their competitors proving that a bigger focus on the adult market translates to better sales. Guess they're still cool with kids playing Nintendo until they're 10 years old then ditching them for PlayStation and Xbox.
And thats it. Aside from introducing Miitomo, a lot of cryptic talk, which reminds me of how good Nintendo is at keeping mum.

I think it's the best Zelda game ever made. I never understood the backlash.I am shocked so many people are hyped for Twlight Princess. I thought it was generally disliked around here.

- Finally modern accounts

Great conference
