Nintendo’s financial results briefing for the third quarter of the current fiscal year took place last week. As always, there was a Q&A session with investors at the end of the meeting. Nintendo’s official English translation of the transcript of that Q&A is now available here. 

From Nintendo’s board of directors, Shuntaro Furukawa (President and Representative Director), Shinya Takahashi (Director, Senior Managing Executive Officer), Shigeru Miyamoto (Representative Director, Fellow), Ko Shiota (Director, Senior Executive Officer) and Satoru Shibata (Director, Senior Executive Officer) were present. Naturally, most of the questions and answers center around sales and business strategies, but they also touch upon Nintendo’s collaboration with LINE for Dr. Mario World, video game addiction, the number of female employees Nintendo has and more. There aren’t any groundbreaking new announcements, but it’s an interesting read nonetheless.

Last summer, Pikachu entered the Funko Pop line. Next up? A 4-inch vinyl version of Bulbasaur, which will be available on February 27. More Funko Pop Pokemon figures are expected to launch in the future.

That’s not all, as The Pokemon Company has announced a licensing agreement to create “A Day with Pikachu”. Fans can look forward to a brand-new series of 12 Pokemon figures by Funko on PokemonCenter.com.

The Pokemon Company says that the figures “will depict the iconic Pokemon Pikachu celebrating a different season or holiday, with one new figure arriving every month. The first figure will release February 13, 2019, and features Pikachu holding a Luck Incense. Each figure will also come with an insert showing a silhouette sneak peek of the Pikachu figures scheduled for release in the coming months.”

This information comes from Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa…

I would also like to make the first announcement here that we are preparing for opening Nintendo TOKYO, the first official Nintendo shop in Japan. We are hoping it will be a new point of contact between consumers and Nintendo that a wide range of people, regardless of age, gender, or experience with games can enjoy. In addition to selling products such as video game systems, software and character-based merchandise, we plan to host events and offer opportunities to play games, and are preparing to make this shop a new base for communicating Nintendo information in Japan.

Nintendo TOKYO is scheduled to open in SHIBUYA PARCO (building name tentative) in the fall of 2019. We will announce further details on each of these initiatives at a later date.
