"Releasing applications for non-Nintendo platforms is one challenge for us, and we will try all kinds of things as we continue this challenge."
"We will make applications, and not just action games, in consideration of what best embodies 'Nintendo-like' applications."
"For now, what we need to do is closely watch developments and prepare appropriate measures."
"We also consider VR to be a promising technology, and we are conducting research with much interest."
"We intend to do our utmost to foster greater participation of women for the future growth of Nintendo."
"We are planning with the expectation that NX sales will compensate for much of the impact on sales from reduced Wii U hardware sales."
"We will be putting out applications that use IP from actual games, so it will be a decent value for the fiscal year ending March 2017."
"The launch of NX is not the only project which requires funds, and we want to prioritize using it on projects that make use of our IP."
"Our approach is that we should wait until we can provide a fully realized experience rather than rushing to launch in the holiday season."
"How the game is played connects to the future of the IP."
"I believe that Miitomo reaching 10 million unique users in the short time since its release shows that it has achieved the level we had planned."
"Selling at a loss at launch would not support the business, so we are keeping that in mind in developing NX."
"Of course, Mr. Miyamoto, our Creative Fellow, is also supporting the business for smart devices from a company-wide perspective."
"Consumers playing Miitomo are gradually creating their own Nintendo Accounts."
"We selected two titles of different categories and IP to reach as many consumers as possible."
"The positive aspect of lowering the projected sales of Wii U hardware to 800,000 units is that it allows us to focus on the Nintendo 3DS system."
If and when the deal is done, Nintendo of America Inc. will no longer be the principal owner of the team.
"As president and, then, the chairman of Nintendo of America, I personally observed the great efforts and contributions that Mr. Lincoln made during the past 17 years as the team’s CEO and the chairman."
"The purpose of introducing an executive officer system is to separate business decision-making and oversight from business execution, and to delegate authority for executing business."
"We expect that the launch of new applications using the Fire Emblem andAnimal Crossing IPs will expand our membership even more."
