A ton of Pokemon Sun/Moon developer interviews are starting to come online. Series producer Junichi Masuda and director Shigeru Ohmori fielded a ton of questions from the press.
First up is Game Informer, who asked the two about topics such as connectivity with Pokemon GO, which platform we’ll see the next entry on, stereoscopic 3D, and much more about Sun/Moon specifically.

FCC filing points to new Nintendo accessory that could support NFC on both 3DS and mobile
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, Mobile, News | 9 Comments
Nintendo seems to be working on some sort of new Bluetooth accessory, judging my a new filing with the Federal Communications Commission. It looks fairly similar to the 3DS NFC accessory, but this is an entirely new device (CTR-013). It also supports Bluetooth whereas the 3DS device only has an IR port.
One very strong possibility is that Nintendo is preparing an NFC accessory which will work with smart devices (in addition to 3DS, as the CTR product number appears to be a part of the 3DS line). That would pave the wave for amiibo support on mobile. Of course, it’s only speculation for now.
Nintendo skipping corporate strategy meeting for Q2 earnings
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 84 Comments
All eyes will be on Nintendo when the Japanese market closes on October 26. The company is expected to share its second-quarter earnings on that day.
The Wall Street Journal reached out to Nintendo, and it’s worth noting that a spokesperson said no meeting is planned to brief media/analysts on its upcoming strategy. Previously, this is where Nintendo announced Miitomo.
Nintendo president Tatsumi Kimishima will nonetheless meet with the press next Wednesday and analysts the following day. While we’re unlikely to see any news about NX in an online presentation within the next few days, it’s possible that something will be said next week about how the platform will be unveiled. A Nintendo spokesman also reiterated that more on NX is coming by the end of this year.
