Nintendo – more on mobile and IPs, cooperation with Facebook/Twitter
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 11 Comments
Earlier this week, Nintendo held its latest financial results briefing. The event consisted of both a presentation and a Q&A. The latter part has now been published online as a transcript, though only in Japanese at the moment.
Twitter user Cheesemeister has come up with a few translations of notable topics. These include more on Nintendo and mobile, the company’s usage of IPs and new IPs, and use of Facebook and Twitter. You can read on below for the full translations.
The smartphone app market seems to be out of new ideas and growing boring, do you intend to dramatically change gameplay with your games? The app you just introduced (Miitomo) may just be 1 app, but isn’t heavily emphasizing communication a bit off from Nintendo’s strengths?
Kimishima: Miitomo is a unique app and can be enjoyed by communicating using Miis, even by those not normally in constant communication. Miitomo is closely integrated with My Nintendo and Nintendo Account. We’ve already demonstrated the joy of discovering things about people you thought you knew well in internal tests during development. With the likable Mii IP, smart device users will enjoy it. Other than Miitomo, we’re thinking of apps that integrate w/ consoles, as well as things just for mobile and users who don’t normally play.

VIZ Media thinks Yo-kai Watch will be the next Pokemon
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 31 Comments
VIZ Media has high hopes for Yo-kai Watch. Waell Oueslati, EMEA associate brand manager at Viz Media, recently told MCV that he believes the franchise could be the next Pokemon.
Oueslati said:
“This will be the next big boys’ brand, essentially the next Pokémon. We have very high expectations for the market and for the UK. We are certainly bigger than Pokémon in Japan; we currently have 95 per cent market share in that region.”
In case you’re curious, VIZ Media is in charge of Yo-kai Watch’s comics and TV show in both North America and Europe.

Xenoblade Chronicles X – Lin’s outfits changed in the west, age remains the same
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 280 Comments
Update: Despite what Game Informer previously reported, Lin’s age has not been changed in the west. John Ricciardi, from localization company 8-4, says that she’s still 13.
For the western version of Xenoblade Chronicles X, Nintendo and Monolith Soft have changed a few outfits for Lin. This character is 13 years-old in the Japanese version, and just a couple of years older in the western version.
In the images above, the more-revealing outfits are from the Japanese version. The ones with less skin exposed are from the European (and presumably North American) version.
