Slight changes in Nintendo Directors’ approval ratings at shareholder’s meeting
Posted on 8 years ago by Jake in News | 10 Comments
With the 76th Annual General Meeting of Shareholders occurring earlier this week, Nintendo has released the approval rating of the board of directors. For the most part, those who were on the board last year had a small increase in approval rating, although Tatsumi Kimishima saw a slight decline. This is most likely due to his change in role to President, however. Compared to Satoru Iwata’s approval rating from last year, there was an increase in percentage (from 83.45% to 87.14%). You can see the approval ratings below (numbers in parentheses represent those from 2015, for those who had been on the board)
– Tatsumi Kimishima: 87.14% (92.60%)
– Genyo Takeda: 95.26% (92.07% )
– Shigeru Miyamoto: 95.26% (92.08%)
– Shigeyuki Takahashi: 95.87% (94.46%)
– Shuntaro Furukawa: 96.38%
– Naoki Noguchi: 94.78%
– Yoshimi Mitamura: 96.81%
– Katsuhiro Umeyama: 97.49%
– Naoki Mizutani: 95.15% (94.52%)
13AM Games discusses future of Runbow, sales, and cut ideas
Posted on 8 years ago by Jake in News | 1 Comment
With 13AM Games setting to release retail versions of Runbow, including the New 3DS version Runbow Pocket, Nintendo Enthusiast got to ask them about the port and more. While reconfirming that Runbow Pocket is a New 3DS exclusive, the studio stated that, while the capabilities of the New 3DS really help the game run, they would do everything in their power to bring the game to the old 3DS. They also stated that Runbow Pocket has been in development for three months and will be one of the first Unity titles on the New 3DS.
On the currently released version, it was noted that, while the game has not been an “overnight several million dollar success”, it has sold enough to keep the studio together. The Wii U version also featured some cut ideas for its Color Master mode, including a version where the Gamepad user played pinball, while the other players ran around inside.
On the future of the series, 13AM noted that cut ideas might find their way into a sequel, but that the studio would most likely release a different game in between.
