President Tatsumi Kimishima re-elected plus a ton of news and videos
● The 76th Annual General Meeting of Shareholders took place earlier today and whilst the likes of My Nintendo News have taken the odd translated snippet out of context and created a number of clickbait articles, there really wasn’t much of note: there is nothing to report on VR and nothing more on NX (March 2017), QOL (research) nor movies (not confirmed). President Tatsumi Kimishima (and other directors) have all been re-elected. The British EU exit and strengthening yen could both affect Nintendo achieving profit forecasts.
● Yokai Watch 3 Sushi and Tempura are available for pre-load priced at ¥5,184 each and requiring a whopping 22,099 blocks.
● The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild has been in development for over 5 years, has had 300 people working on it (currently 100) and would need to sell 2 million to break even.
