Nintendo just put up the Q&A portion of its latest investors briefing. An official translation will likely be posted next week, but Cheesemeister has provided a summary for some of the topics discussed.

In what’s been translated, Nintendo president Tatsumi Kimishima touched on how Nintendo will be focusing on 3DS in the near-term. For NX, he touched on the need to build up NX’s software lineup, profitability (what that means for pricing), and how Nintendo will be missing the holiday season. Head past the break for the translation.

Q: It seems the great reduction in the Wii U hardware sales forecast is influenced by the timing of the NX release, but how about 3DS?

A: This fiscal year, the 3DS has big titles as previously presented, and in sufficient quantity. Both hardware and software will make large contributions to sales. Also, while Wii U sales are forecast to drop to 800,000 units, the upside is that we can focus on the 3DS.

Nintendo has sent out more information about Fire Emblem Fates ahead of its European launch on May 20.

Fire Emblem Fates Map Pack 1 will be available for purchase on release day. It can be accessed via the Dragon’s Gate once Chapter 6 has been completed. The eleven DLC maps “will be released periodically from launch through to July, providing a series of extra challenges, opportunities to gain more experience and money, and even recruit a new character.”

Map Pack 2 will follow in late July, featuring another six DLC maps. An additional free piece of content will also be made available during the distribution of each Map Pack.

On top of this, Fire Emblem Fates: Revelation – the third story path – is due out on June 9.

My Nintendo members will be able to exchange 20 Gold Points for a 10 percent discount on the digital version of Fire Emblem Fates that can be applied between May 20 and June 16. Those who pick up the game on the Shop in the first four weeks after launch will also receive a free download code for the Two Kingdoms theme.
