On NX

For our dedicated video game platform business, Nintendo is currently developing a gaming platform codenamed “NX” with a brand-new concept. NX will be launched in March 2017 globally and our unique software-led hardware-software integrated business will continue to constitute the core business for Nintendo.

Sounds good but it's just a repeat of what they've said before.

is this where they reveal the new F-Zero

It is unlikely for Nintendo to unveil new games during this meeting. Some minor new details on NX could perhaps be given though. But first and foremost the purpose of the meeting is to elect directors and vote on the other proposals presented.

Great find as usual Rösti. Should be a very interesting meeting what with all the organizational changes taking place. NX wise the most we should expect is potentially a date for the reveal event, probably not even that.

I'm just expecting this to be reassurance to investors that the NX is coming, and to continue having faith in Nintendo. And maybe they'll fan out flames if E3 still results in some blowback.

so is takahashi being groomed into becoming the next president after kimishima retires?
Click to expand...

Pretty likely. Being in charge of EPD basically puts him in charge of software development especially when accounting for the Business Development Division and Development Administration & Support Division he has been put in supervision of. The former I believe is the network stuff where as the latter involves development partners (though I'm unsure of what extent does this division cover)

I can't believe how few shares Miyamoto owns (200), that can't be right - maybe it's thousands of shares.

I mean, I have 1,355 shares and it's a hobby stock for me. 200,000 shares would sound right for Miyamoto at the very least.

The share price has been shockingly stable for the last five or six months. Will be interesting to see what happens to it in the next month.

Should I be hyped? Looking for something to spend my hype on lately :/ lol

For this event? Not really. This event is usually pretty light on information, even compared to the other investor events. Absolute maximum I'd expect would be a more specific time frame for the NX reveal, but even that is getting a bit optimistic.

Are those shares or pink sheets? The ratio of pink sheets to shares is 8:1.

It's that time of the year where wacky shareholders ask questions like this.

I got terribly lost coming here today. Every time I come here, I feel that you should take into consideration where many of the shareholders attending are coming from and that you may want to consider offering us some conveniences like a courtesy bus from JR Kyoto Station. As I feel this is rather an inconvenient place to visit by subway or by bus, I’d like you to consider more about this sort of thing than enriching the contents of the gifts you give to the attending shareholders.

and this

I do not understand video games and I even feel angry because, at Nintendo’s shareholders’ meetings, the shareholders always discuss things relating to video games or such childish topics as “what the future of video games should be,” while I, for one, was flabbergasted that Mr. Iwata continues to hold his position although he had said that he would resign if the company’s performance were bad.
I hope that Nintendo’s shareholders’ meeting will become an opportunity where the shareholders discuss the company’s business operations from the viewpoints of capital gain and dividends.

This sounds a bit interesting? Like in this is the potential first proposals resulting with the new organization, or am I misunderstanding this?

Here's some more great investor questions.

Q2: How about gifts for shareholders?

A2: There are legal limitations on gifts, and we view return to shareholders as monetary. Shareholders who already own gifted products wouldn’t be happy.

Q9: I don’t know about games, and don’t care about game-related questions, but your shareholders haven’t said anything about the stock price dropping. What kind of a shareholder meeting is this? Tell me about the business administration. (audience applause)

A9: Thank you for your pointed opinion. Shareholder meetings are for us to communicate with shareholders. It’s important for shareholders to know what we as a company are doing, and what kind of entertainment we are providing.

And this one seems relevant here.

Q13: President Iwata owns many shares, but the other directors only hold 1 or 2 hundred each. Does this mean that they’re not responsible? Chairman Takeda, who’s worked at the company for a very long time, only holds 200 shares. (audience laughter)

A13: We don’t believe that the number of shares held has any bearing on work responsibility.
