Today's News:
1) Some highlights from Nintendo's annual big investor meeting includes:
  • Club Nintendo's replacement likely will include special discount deals on the eShop.
  • Admitted they failed with the Wii U in terms of sales and couldn't rebound it like they did with the 3DS' poor launch.
  • Won't be dropping Wii U and 3DS support in the near future.
  • Are reconsidering how they handle their E3 announcements plans in order to improve future E3 Direct shows and prevent disappointments.
  • Implied Nintendo will no longer be having soft console launches in terms of their own games in order to keep third party companies happy. Hurt them a lot with the 3DS and Wii U launches while 3rd parties barely provided system selling games needed.
  • Admitted they are having serious problems with supply games for their current Virtual Console service.
  • Their mobile plans include making games that don't heavily rely on a very small pool of players being the bulk of revenues earned.
