Nintendo president Tatsumi Kimishima took on a number of investor questions during NintendoÔÇÖs financial results briefing a few days ago. One of the more interesting responses came about towards the end of the event. Most of what the question asked is over my head and there will be an official translation in a few days, but it was essentially about the next financial period, and how Wii U and 3DS factors into that.

Kimishima starts off by reiterating a key point from his presentation: the spread amount of 3DS systems is 20 million units domestically, and 54 million units worldwide. This means NintendoÔÇÖs handheld had a big chance to obtain profits from software as well. As for what lies ahead in the next period, Kimishima said development on software continues, including large-scale titles that canÔÇÖt be announced just yet. He believes that the 3DS will remain a big pillar in the next period.

Moving onto Wii U, it still just reached a spread of 10 million units worldwide. If you compare that number to 3DS, itÔÇÖs still not enough. However, titles like Splatoon and Super Mario Maker have a favorable reputation, so Kimishima thinks Nintendo would like to be able to release titles that could receive the same sort of reputation in the next period as well.

Kimishima wouldnÔÇÖt talk about new enterprises, as he would instead like to go more in-depth when Nintendo announces forecasts for the next period. That means the financial results briefing wasnÔÇÖt a place to speak about NX either. Kimishima did mention that Nintendo is currently progressing on considering various developments and plans towards the systemÔÇÖs release, so he thinks it will need even more investments than now.

Kimishima also mentioned that Nintendo is wondering how customers will evaluate their smart device apps. Additionally, he believes itÔÇÖs important that the companyÔÇÖs various IPs should be recognized by consumers, but itÔÇÖs unlikely to become a big business with just a single swoop.

Bueno, espero que lo que quede por anunciar sea el Pokémon de este año, algún Mario, y alguna cosa gorda para despedir la consola.

Me sobra con Dragon Quests.

Pues yo quiero el nuevo Pokémon, un Final Fantasy VI Remake, un Final Fantasy Tactics Advance 3 y un nuevo Advance Wars

Spoiler :

Habrá que conformarse con el Pokémon...

El remake del FFVI mejor que lo dejen, para algún dia... ya si eso...

Ahora en serio, me encantaría Super Mario 3D Land 2 como colofón final, pero no caerá esa breva.

Un galaxy para 3ds, creo que ya se ha demostrado que algo así pueden hacer. O una versión portátil de Capitán Toad, que también le viene como anillo al dedo.

Lo que veo es que también sigue erre que erre diciendo que tienen que seguir sacando juegos de WiiU, hablando de producir juegos del estilo a SMM o Splatoon en cuando a éxito y prestigio. Veremos a ver si lo cumple o se olvida de todo con NX.
