My Nintendo has added in another reward in North America. Tying in with next week’s launch of Paper Mario: The Origami King, a July calendar is available.

The calendar is up for grabs on My Nintendo here, though you’ll need to fork over 50 Platinum Points. It won’t have too much value after the month ends, so those that are interested may want to use it sooner rather than later.

You can again visit the online store and place orders here. Consoles, games, and amiibo are all up for grabs. Just keep in mind that orders may take a bit longer to process.

Thanks to Jes T for the tip.

For years fans have been accustomed to seeing some kind of presentation from Nintendo in June to coincide with E3. That used to be in the form of press conferences, but the format shifted to pre-recorded broadcasts and Nintendo Directs in recent years. Unfortunately, due to the coronavirus pandemic, E3 was scrapped and Nintendo didn’t prepare any sort of presentation last month.

President Shuntaro Furukawa spoke about the situation during Nintendo’s 80th Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. On top of that, he shared a few words regarding Nintendo Directs.

Nintendo commented on the impact of the coronavirus on Super Nintendo World during Nintendo’s 80th Annual General Meeting of Shareholders.

Although president Shuntaro Furukawa had a few comments, Shigeru Miyamoto primarily tackled the subject. Miyamoto noted that “there is more time to spend on carefully developing the facilities and the like, and in that specific respect, I feel that the impact has not been largely negative.” As for when people are actually able to enter the theme park, ” the overall operational policies for the park as they relate to managing lines of large numbers of people and how things work inside the facilities will be changed.”

As part of Nintendo’s 80th Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, Shigeru Miyamoto addressed a question on the company’s “detailed focus on enriching the game experience through the use of a controller”. That prompted Miyamoto to highlight how Nintendo has focused on “unique kinds of play” rather than going after consoles with high technical specs.

According to Miyamoto, “the interface by which people connect (with games) will always be an area of strength for Nintendo, and we intend to continuously try new things (with the interface).” Games are currently one of the best ways to achieve this, but Nintendo “will use any medium if it would give us the opportunity to create unique and captivating play.”
