(4/26/12)

(Adjusts tie and smells breath. Check!) Welcome to a very business-y edition of Nintendo Daily! As some of you may already know today Nintendo had its Fiscal Year investor meeting where they revealed that they had a little over half a million dollar loss. This is the first time since they started doing video games where they had a loss. Some juicy info was revealed though! (Pulls out a pen and pretends to be busy writing something) Okay let's get started shall we?

Nintendo will soon offer digital copies of games for 3DS and Wii U, Confirms New Super Mario Bros. 2 will be digital and retail

Well the heading says it all doesn't it? Nintendo has assured its investors that they are embracing digital sales with open arms. They then revealed a few things:

- New Super Mario Bros. 2 will be sold digitally via the eShop, in-store retailers, and even online retailers
- The Wii U will support digital sales of its packaged games from day one
- Nintendo says it'll be up to retailers to price third party digital sales of games
- Games you buy digitally can ONLY be played from the system you download it to
- eShop titles currently only being sold on the 3DS may soon be available for in-store retailers and online retailers to sell as well like they did with 3D Classics: Kid Icarus (Gamestop, Best Buy, and Amazon were selling that game exclusively)
- If you want to buy a digital copy of a game, but don't want to use your credit/debit card then you don't have to. Just go to a retail outlet and buy the game there and receive a 16 digit code to use on the eShop and Wii U to download the game at your house

Wii U software lineup to be revealed at E3, no price or release date


'We will showcase the final format, and discuss the details and the software lineup for this year at E3 2012, which will be held in Los Angeles in the United States in June this year.

Also, in the week after the E3 show, we would like to organize an opportunity where we can showcase the same to the Japanese wholesalers and financial analysts who cannot attend the E3 show. The people in our appropriate sections will let you know as soon as we have settled on further details.

Please also be advised that, as we did for previous platforms that were launched in the year-end sales season, we will announce the launch date and price in each market sometime after E3.
'

Well there you have it people. Don't expect at E3 to find out when the Wii U will launch and how much it will cost. Nintendo assures us though that they will reveal all that info soon after E3 just like they have done with all their other systems.

Onitore to be released overseas, will be retail/digital


'Additionally, we are developing “Onitore” (New Brain Age game), the software to train your concentration and working memories, with Prof. Kawashima at Tohoku University. We will release it in summer in Japan, and overseas afterwards.

Onitore will be made available through both retail and the eShop.
'

Nintendo has unannounced 3DS titles for the fiscal term, will release in 'timely manner' plus Wii U info

Nintendo revealed that they still have first party 3DS games that they have yet to reveal (like the new Brain Age game) that will come out this fiscal year. They assured investors that the 3DS will have a rich first party support from them and that their first party 3DS games will be released in a timely manner. They have learned from their mistakes of the 3DS launch and also assured them that the Wii U will have great games from day one.

Pokemon Rumble Blast joins the 3DS millions sellers club




Super Mario 3D Land (5.84 million), Mario Kart 7 (5.24 million), The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time 3D (2.61 million) Monster Hunter 3G (1.40 million) and now Pokemon Rumble Blast (1.08 million)! The 3DS is looking good for Ninty and even third party publishers.


Nintendo won't sell incomplete titles to make up money on digital, Animal Crossing DLC

Well that's pretty much all Nintendo talked about in the investor meeting. They also re-assured their investors that they will be supporting DLC, but that doesn't mean that they will be releasing incomplete products just to make a quick buck on DLC. They also hinted that Animal Crossing 3DS may support DLC.

Dragon Quest X For Wii Releasing In August



Square Enix has announced that Dragon Quest X will be released in Japan on August 2nd for the Wii. Japanese gamers will be able to purchase the standard version which will retail for 6,980 ($60) yen while the bundle containing a USB memory card will cost 8,980 ($77) yen.

Both versions of Dragon Quest X will come with 20 days of free online play.  Here’s the subscription pricing: 1,000 yen ($12) for 30 days, 1,950 yen ($24) for 60 days, and 2,900 yen for 90 days ($35). Payment can be made either by credit card or by using Wii Points via Nintendo points cards. Players will be able to create up to three characters per account.

Square Enix has also announced plans to create a “Kids Time” program that will allow children to play for free for a specific period of time. Square Enix wouldn’t reveal when the Wii U version would be coming, or when Dragon Quest X will be released in North America and Europe.

-after completing one of the DLC packs, you will recruit Micaiah from Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn and obtain a book that teaches a Skill to raise all stats +2 when equipped
- another pack will reward you with Alm from Fire Emblem Gaiden, as well as a scroll that will promote any male unit into the Demon Fighter class

- it also features a boss that will get you 7000G to use in the game
- two of the packs cost 300 yen, while Alm's will be 400
