I'm expecting shareholders to ask questions about NX and I expect the shareholders to become angry/irritated should Mr. Kimishima continue to give only vague answers. Hopefully will some new substantial information, such as the reveal date of the system, be given.
The meeting itself could feature some sales numbers presented, but more likely such will be given in a separate report.
Yes please at least give us the month were they will finally talk about NX. 6 months almost at the 7th month of 2016 and we still don't know absolutely nothing of the device that is supposed to come out in less than a year from now. It's nice they are taking their time to don't pull out another Wii U launch and all that jazz but the waiting has been ridiculous and the fact that there's no exciting Wii U games coming soon makes the wait for NX info more painful.

I think they could possibly give a time table on when they are going to show it off... which I think will be early-to-mid September around TGS.

Can we have a countdown by any chance please? 
I hope we get some more NX info, even small teases like we got last time, which were:
- Zelda would be both Wii U AND NX-bound.
- NX will release in March 2017.
- NX would not be present at E3 and would be unveiled later in the year.
A lot more than I expected!

Here you go:Can we have a countdown by any chance please?
Reception opens an hour early though, so I'll likely have the dedicated thread up then.
Yeah i think it will be before TGS to allow their Japanese partners to show their wares.

TGS seems to be on September 15th-18th.

And the exhibitor briefing is on July 1 (Friday). So we will know soon what companies will be exhibiting at TGS 2016.

There aren't even usually any press releases coming from these, are there? Not getting my hopes up.
didn't they announce the launch month, zelda nx and no nx at e3 at the last one?

If this is anything like the last meeting, I expect heartbreak.
I expect more because the lack of press seems unprecedented. Like they want to get ahead of leaks for something. I dunno. Crazy theory a friend brought up.
You gotta believe BY2K. You gotta believe. Get hyped with me.

Expectations for this event should really be kept to a minimum. This isn't the kind of meeting where they announce things. The best you should hope for is investors pestering them about NX.

We did get some major bombshells at the last one, though that was in the lead-up to E3...
"We look forward to talking about the NX later this year"

Wasn't it at a meeting like this where the "NX and Zelda will be out in 2017, oh and Zelda will be the only game at e3" bombshell came out of ?

No. This particular investor meeting is different than the other ones. This is more focused on voting and things. This is, however, the meeting that usually produces amusing investor questions.
It's not a big deal if nothing comes out of this because either way it's a day closer to the inevitable reveal with March 2017 steadily approaching. I'm putting money on mid September being the reveal since that's been the case for past Nintendo reveal strategies. Tomorrow is just another hurdle and I'm actually hoping to hear more about Fire Emblem and Animal Crossing mobile games. Pokemon Go is out soon and who knows, maybe we'll get further info on Bayo and Cloud Amiibo's soon.

Quoting myself from above:
I know people say this about many events, but this truly is the kind of thing where you should go in expecting nothing.

Nintendo has been great at keeping the NX's secret. I really would like them to be the ones to show it off first without the spoilers or leaks which I fear will come if they do not talk soon

Don't think there will be anything announced at this briefing, especially after that statement from Miyamoto in the recent AP article, in the other thread.
Well a date for the reveal wouldn't spoil any secret gimmicks. Just give us a daaate.

I just want to know the date for the reveal, and I expect to be let down anyway. There's no way they'd announce the name for the console without a proper video package to explain it.
One way or another, NX will get mentioned at the meeting. Worst case scenario is hearing "we can't talk about it yet," but at least it's some additional actual acknowledgement for the thing!
I'm glad you'll be making a thread for this. I look forward to it!

I have no expectations for this meeting, the NX will just happen one day.
I'm not sure if that being an earnings release meeting rather than a general meeting of shareholders means it's less likely we get info now. It seems the primary order of business is getting the new governance structure in place at Nintendo. I think as our esteemed OP said, best to keep expectations of news low (but of course be happily surprised if there is any).
Well, from a purely information-seeking perspective it was better than expected - we got a solid release date out of nowhere.
This time I think the best-case scenario is a date for the reveal.

That was a results briefing, not the annual shareholders' meeting.
"And that concludes our meeting. Oh, yes...NX. And now we're out of time. Goodbye everyone."
OK, now we're getting into some real worst case scenarios!
Make your worst case scenario really, really good and then we'll all benefit! It's in your hands TheJoRu!

People should keep expectations low. I'm thinking all those little, vague tidbits we've been getting about NX recently are the best we can expect. Think Miyamoto's comment on them "working on something."
I think we'll hear more about Nintendo's plans than we'll learn about specifics.
