Nintendo Everything

Nintendo held its annual shareholder meeting last week; during and after this meeting, a variety of information is published about the current state of the company. Among those is the shareholder approval rating for the five directors that were elected to the company’s Board of Directors. Their approval ratings are as follows:

– Tatsumi Kimishima: 97.70 %
– Shigeru Miyamoto: 97.59 %
– Shinya Takahashi: 97.65 %
– Shuntaro Furukawa: 97.65 %
– Ko Shiota: 97.65 %

For comparison’s sake, president Tatsumi Kimishima’s approval rating last year was 87.14 %, meaning his approval among shareholders has risen by more than 1o % in the last year. Clearly the shareholders are happy with the way Kimishima has been running the company – and the Switch’s successful launch clearly didn’t hurt either.

Ubisoft had plenty to show at E3 2017 last month, and CEO Yves Guillemot spoke about the publisher’s slate in the video below. Guillemot talked Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, Starlink, and more.

In its first week in Japan, The Alliance Alive sold around 25,000 – 30,000 copies. That may not seem like a lot, but FuRyu had realistic expectations. The RPG wasn’t overshipped as Dengeki reports that The Alliance Alive sold through 70 percent of its initial shipment.

The Legend of Legacy, FuRyu’s last 3DS RPG, saw first week sales of 53,974. It also sold through 83 percent of its initial shipment. The Alliance Alive has sold less so far, but it could have longer legs as the player reception has been more favorable this time around.

Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology wasn’t always intended for 3DS. In the art book included with the game’s special Perfect Edition in Japan, Atlus reveals an interesting piece of news about the development process.

Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology was initially intended for “another handheld device”. However, director Mitsuru Hirata became too busy working on Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE and the project was suspended. After the Wii U project wrapped up, Atlus turned its attention back to Radiant Historia, but the market ratio between 3DS and the other unnamed device was too significant when the project rebooted. Radiant Historia shifted to 3DS as a result.
