Nintendo FY 15 Third Quarter Financial Results Briefing (10.00 AM JST / 08.00 PM EST)
I love this. The go to line for 2015 was "We have nothing to announce about the NX today. Please wait until 2016."
Now it's 2016, and they just dropped that last part.

Yeah, what could go wrong?!
as long as they have the coked out announcer from the wizard, i'm game.
i would also be satisfied with a coked out kevin pereira.
actually as long as someone's coked out, i'm pretty okay.

Well in Nintendo of Europe is superior to Nintendo of America...but thats none of my business...
I never expected NX news during it. I fully expected more information on My Nintendo since it has an actual date planned for its rollout.

The My Nintendo news are interesting, the whole thing sounds really good. I think the 100 million Nintendo Accounts won't happen as fast as they hope, but who knows, maybe it's just my skewed perception about miitomo.
As for the overall presentation it seems to me to be a very weak presentation even for the investors, it kind of lacks major info on income sources and commitment. Maybe the Q&A will be more interesting, baring the stupid question that will take have of the time.
Edit: one strange thing that I noticed is how the pre-registrations for Miitomo start in mid February while the Nintendo Account rolls out globally in March. Talking about (not) thinking globally rather the locally for the future.

Could be a Fit Bit type device that interacts with some games. Fit Bits track heart rate, sleeping habits, and of course your steps. Nintendo may be coming out with a similar device.
I don't think it'll be related to games at all.
Back in March when Iwata said they'd talk about NX next year, there were three groups of people
1) he means January 1st, 2016. It has to be January 2016.
2) he means next fiscal year which starts in April 2016.
3) He means E3.
I was hoping for option 1, believed in option 2 being the most likely, and 3 being my worst nightmare.

Why isnt there a GIF of Mario sleeping in Super Mario 64...
So pre-registrations for Miitomo starts February 17th. This should also be the date Nintendo Account becomes available in those 16 countries (and globally to all others in March), seeing as such an account is required for registration, and they state that pre-registration is not only for Japan but for all 16 countries.
Let me go out of a limb here and say that this date is a prime candidate for a new Nintendo Direct, if they have one planned.

But the global Nintendo Account launch is still stated for March, isn't it?
My guess for this is that Nintendo stays the same Japan-centric company as we know it. Japan can pre-register on February 17th, who cares about the other, they can wait a bit.
Nintendo needs to pull a Sony and headquarter in the US. Switch to Seattle. This Japanese echo chamber thinking is gonna sink them.

doesn't Japan already have Nintendo account? Yeah, I guess you're right.
Nintendo Account and My Nintendo aren't the same thing, don't forget.
Yes, and the Miitomo pre-registration isn't global, so there's no inconsistency here. As I wrote in my post, you have to have a Nintendo Account to pre-register for Miitomo. So the countries who are part of the pre-registration gets it on February 17, and every other country that they operate in (which is what they mean by "global") gets it in March at the latest.
Edit: Oh wait, it's not even Nintendo Account that's coming in March, it's My Nintendo.
Stupid sexy Nintendo!
I know, that's why I'm talking about Nintendo Account.
The official excuse for Miitomo delay to March was that Nintendo Account isn't ready until then. Of course it can happen that they are ready sooner than expected, but knowing Nintendo I think the safe bet is my interpretation.

Do we know if MyNintendo gets an App too or is Miitomo the MyNintendo App?
Called it.
Not that it was a particularly daring statement of course.
Yall thirsty people have to wait until E3.
I agree with some others, see them reveal it by having the finalists of NWC play one of the games like in the Wizard.

My Nintendo is slated for March, they didn't give a date for Nintendo Account outside of Japan. Since (seemingly) Miitomo's pre-registration is happening on February 17th and it's for all the countries where it releases first, and since it requires the Nintendo Account, I suppose this means Nintendo Account is coming in the next few days, if not right on Februarh 17th.
Wait, you are going further with this. No, only those 16 countries get Miitomo at launch in mid-march. Those aren't just for pre-registration, those are the region were the app will be available mid-March.
Happy to be wrong.

Good news!
This investor briefing could be seen as a sort of reconfirmation of their current policy (or should I say obsession) to keep things under wraps before they deliver the message as they want. We've been hearing of much tighter NDAs than before, but the fact that we didn't even get liveblogs or tweets while the briefing was going on this time sounds really like a new policy to avoid misunderstandings and bad reports that then spread and deliver the wrong message. In the exact same way we're not hearing almost anything about NX aside from the major DQX/XI news and the WSJ article...and a bit of last week's rumours / news too. Still, a small fraction of all the leaks we would've already had in the past. That can't be a coincidence, it must be an overall policy change to deliver the message as understandable as possible.
Nice to see them posting news about My Nintendo, worrying to see them not having friends lists at the start - shouldn't this launch on Wii U and 3DS too? Either way, sounds like a system update that actually changes something again is upon us.
QoL delay sounds like they want the profits solely in their next FY?
No NX news? No surprise..

All of this make sense. Maybe they will even wait to release the Japanese q&a transcripts until the English ones are ready.
Woo! finally!
