Nintendo’s February financial briefing gave a lot of insight into the sales of hardware and software during the past months. However, the official report they released only provided the more technical details of the company’s finances and not what was discussed between investors.
Well now, Nintendo has released a summary of the Q&A conference call that Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa had with investors, and it includes more general details of what was discussed.
Investors brought up questions relating to new Switch hardware releasing, the possibility of the Switch passing the Wii’s sales, and the impact of Animal Crossing: New Horizons on hardware sales. They also had questions about the Switch’s appeal in foreign markets (such as China) and how Nintendo will expand the Switch’s player count heading forward.
There is truly too much to recount in these notes, so the full transcript has been posted below to view.

Conover shared the reported news during The Serf Times podcast. He also claimed that a Star Fox claymation project inspired by Wes Anderson’s Fantastic Mr. Fox movie adaptation was planned as well in partnership with CollegeHumor..

The Cutting Room Floor, and outlet known for discovering and documenting scrapped content from games, recently got its hands on a DuckTales prototype for the NES. There are plenty of differences compared to the final product, all of which are outlined here. The prototype also comes with a rather neat find: an unused music track.
The piece in question is the stage select screen. Kotaku points out that “the track that made it into the official DuckTales release is more mysterious and repetitive” whereas “the prototype song is upbeat and adventurous in the way you’d expect from a game based on a children’s cartoon.”
Here’s the full piece from the prototype:
