Nintendo Financial Results Briefing 2011 Q&A

[Burny]

There was seemingly a Q&A with Iwata after that investors meeting Nintendo held a few days ago.

 

On Nintendo of Japan's homepage a translated transcript is available.

 

There aren't any real news in this and I have to confess, I didn't read the whole thing ,yet. What caught my attention was a slew of articles on Gonintendo about it.

 

It's interesting, because Iwata admits rather openly a few areas, where Nintendo hasn't been able to deliver in the past (online, hint, hint ).

 

Some parts of page 2 especially, make me think, Nintendo will outsource their whole online system for the cafe to experts in that area, or at least parts of it.

 

 

Well, the biggest possible thing I could think of, is Nintendo collaborating with Valve and fully integrating Steam's online service into the console. If it's anything less, I'm probably going to be terribly disappointed at E3, for no other reason than having fantasized a bit too much, but hope dies last, doesn't it? :p

 

The rest of the Q&A seems to be a good read, too.

 

Edit: I see Dante just quoted the whole thing in the Wii general discussion. Might still justify its own thread though...

I hate it when gaming websites do that. Every time there's a new Iwata Asks, Kotaku milks it for a week's worth of articles.

But Kotaku posts anything that any random tweeter makes up.
