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.
