Nintendo will be issuing its earnings release in just a matter of hours. The festivities will kick off with a conference where some interesting information could be shared.

Dr. Serkan Toto, who is known as an analyst and somewhat of an insider, has heard that “Nintendo will actually announce news on future products and pipeline” unlike the previous event. That could mean more on mobile, though it’s unknown how much the Big N will have to say about NX.

A word of caution: how much news we’ll be seeing from the earnings conference is unclear. The briefing that follows later in the day could be potentially more interesting. That’ll be tomorrow evening in North America, and very early on Thursday for European folks.
