Yeah, I noticed that too. Hopefully they will comment on third party releases for FY14 (and Q4 FY13).

Is this the first time Indie games were mentioned as 3rd party games to look for? Interesting approach, but obviously Nintendo is doing it because they have to, not because they want to.

 

[Kriken]

Also Hyrule Warriors only for EU/NA this year.

Hyrule Warriors listed as 3rd Party for Japan

 

[hongcha]

What won't change is the combined hardware and software strategy.

Won't put games on other platforms.

In other words, "we're staying the course".

He keeps saying this and I'm doubting it more and more

 

[StreetsAhead]

Also Hyrule Warriors only for EU/NA this year.

It's on the 3rd party list since Tecmo is publishing in Japan.

 

[Morfeo]

Here we go, all aboard the train!

 

[Guevara]

Those Wii U third party pages are so sad.

Cloudberry Kingdom, that will save the Wii U.

 

[Draconian]

Looking at the release list, I'm assuming X is 2015 for the west. Good to see SMT x FE and Yarn Yoshi are still alive though.

The release list still has it as 2014 for the west.

 

[Bel_Air_Jeff]

I firmly believe that is good news. Nintendo stay the course with your hardware + software line-up. games sell consoles. release good games.

President Iwata apologizes for the big cut in its full-year guidance, bows for three seconds. But he says he’s not pessimistic about the game console outlook. And there is no change to game console being the center of its strategy. He insists the company will not be abandoning its hardware business.

Good I love Nintendo hardware

Seems like a lot of "please understand" so far.

Software and hardware combined?

Does this mean more hardware function/gimmicks tied to software dev?

Good I love Nintendo hardware

The actual console hardware or their mobile stuff?

 

[Pie and Beans]

If he's doubling down on hardware, I'm sure everyones now fascinated to what the solution to their home console woes are.

"Will continue R & D on hardware in the future"

NEXT CONSOLE TEASE / yes well of course.

 

[Baleoce]

"but learns lessons from past"

Iwata bingo.

 

[Metal B]

Also Hyrule Warriors only for EU/NA this year.

It's on the Third-Party table for Japan.

 

[JABEE]

Holy shit. I wonder what this will do to the stock price

This doesn't surprise me.

No games for other plattforms. I am relieved - for now

I read the wrong line, my bad

 

[CoffeeJanitor]

Excited to see what they have to show. I hope it's an actual decisive and realistic plan, as a Nintendo fan.

(prob will be disappointed though)

 

[MrSaturn99]

?

The One Piece game in the Financial Results PDF was misspelled, lol.

 

[Kouriozan]

At least he made clear the he won't put software on other consoles/smartphone.

 

[Revven]

The "Please Understands" are strong and in full force already!

But good to hear they're staying the course with their existing hardware/software, imo.

Basically it means that they are going to continue to make their own hardware to release their software and aren't planning on going 3rd party or mobile only.

 

[_underfooter]

It's on the 3rd party list since Tecmo is publishing in Japan.

Ah interesting. Still good to see it's coming this year overseas.

 

[Jafku]

Staying the course. Not sure how to feel
EDIT:

Basically it means that they are going to continue to make their own hardware to release their software and aren't planning on going 3rd party or mobile only.

Oh good! Just revive some IP's and start new one's.

Will the Nintendo 3rd party begging finally stop now?

Hmm, I really think they should change their mind on this.

At least release older games reworked for iOS. It could be a big revenue source. And what about stuff like Dr Mario? People love little puzzle games on their phone. It doesn't devalue the new games on Wii U or 3DS if it's little bite sized experiences.

"And I'm free..... free falling." --7974

I only have from 09.55, and then it was at +40 (+0.31%). Maybe you have more recent figures?

 

[Vanillalite]

I do wonder how investors will take this double down, and how much pressure Iwata will be under to step down.

Typing of the Marios incoming for iOS.

Also seems like Angry Birds Trilogy was a success. Activision is publish a Cut the Rope trilogy for Nintendo 3DS.

More than this, look at the last note, they specifically state that they are referring to download only titles.
