While Sony will debut a virtual reality add-on for the PlayStation 4 this October, it sounds like Nintendo's anticipated debut of its next game console won't include Buzzy Technology. In other words, there will be a virtual dive into The Mushroom Kingdom of Mario - at least not anytime soon. At Nintendo's annual shareholder meeting on Wednesday, President and CEO Tatsumi Kimishima said that while the company is exploring VR technology, it intends to focus on the upcoming launch of its next NX-coded console, scheduled for March 2017. Forrester Research predicts that by 2020, 52 million units of displays installed on the head of VR will be used in the United States. But in his recent report on virtual reality, Forrester touched on the balance between overheated hype and excessive VR skepticism. It seems that Nintendo, in the investigation, but not yet implementing, perceives VR in a similar way. Related: Meet the little-known entrepreneur behind the $1 billion gaming company you've never heard of that his competitors dabble in VR, Nintendo is skeptical of whether the world is ready to don headsets to play their games. During the meeting, the game's creator, Shigeru Miamoto, Mario's father, Donkey Kong and Legends of zelda, noted that while many gamers spend hours in front of their screens, VR headsets do not contribute to such a long-term game. It has been reported that this technology causes headaches and nausea after prolonged exposure, which can also deter parents from allowing their children to use it. Miamoto also said he didn't believe VR was one of the main talking points at this year's E3 gaming conference. Ultimately, too few people have had experience with VR to make it mainstream. The company wants to make sure its users are aware and excited about the technology before investing heavily in it. It takes content-creating companies like us to really do what consumers want to experience that they want to move into a particular technology, said Reggie Fils-Aime, president of Nintendo of America, in an interview with Bloomberg West. That's how we move forward. Nintendo has been slow to incorporate fashion technology in the past. A prime example is the use of game cartridges rather than optical discs prior to the release of the GameCube console in 2001, while other systems used CDs throughout the 1990s. In other cases, Nintendo has led the charge. Company with a VR-like project in 1995, Virtual Boy, although the effort was unsuccessful. Related: What you can learn from Nintendo Weird and and 125 years though it's not a commercial success, Nintendo has been a pioneer in VR with Virtual Boy, and has revolutionized the latest generation of games embracing new motion management technologies with the introduction of the Wii, writes Liam Callahan, an industry analyst at NPD Group, in an email to the entrepreneur. Nintendo has always been a company willing to take risks. As for their recent reluctance with VR, I believe Nintendo remains focused on the successful launch of the Nintendo NX. Nintendo is open to VR despite its caution today. We want to make sure that our next content will be mainstream, mass-market affordable, Fils-Aime told Bloomberg West. And when something like VR at this point, you can expect Nintendo to be there. Despite the ups and downs of Nintendo, the company has always shown that it wants to present the next big thing and stay true to its brand, not just follow trends. Some may argue that game design is an art form, something not designed for difference and analysis, but researchers from the IT University of Copenhagen believe that making the game design process more scientific can actually enhance the player experience. Their goal is to create games that adapt to the personalities of players, which they believe will make video and computer games more interesting. For their experiment, described in its entirety in an article in New Scientist this week, researchers broke Nintendo's successful Super Mario Bros. in an attempt to quantify which aspects made the game fun or frustrating for different players. Some players, the researchers found, preferred fun tasks such as kicking turtle shells and acquiring coins, while others seemed to enjoy performing complex tasks such as cleaning complex jumps. The research team is presenting its preliminary data at various computer intelligence conferences this fall. Their early results show that controlling certain functions, such as reducing the number of complex jumps for players looking for entertainment, improves the reception of players in the game. But, for now, researchers are still primarily focused on collecting and analyzing player data.

  • 240 CASE STUDY of NINTENDO AS TRADITIONAL COMPANY in JAPAN KHAIRI MOHAMED OMAR Applied Science University, Bahrain ABSTRACT
    Qualitative and Quantitative Research Review, Vol 3, Issue 1, 2018 ISSN No: 2462-1978 eISSNNo: 2462-2117 CASE STUDY OF NINTENDO AS TRADITIONAL COMPANY IN JAPAN KHAIRI MOHAMED OMAR Applied science University, Bahrain ABSTRACT Each nation has own corporate issues that relates to nation’s corporate style. According to research by OECD, Mexico is the highest rate of average working hours annually in the world (“Hour worked,” 2017). It is 2,255 hours per worker in annual. Since hour in a year is 8,760, people in Mexico are working about a fourth part of a year. Assuming that workers do not need to work on weekend, then hours in a year that workers need work should be around 6,240 hours that it flexibly changes by the year. People in Mexico are working at least 8 hours daily. Claire (2015) stated that long working hours will lead to inadequate sleeping hours, and it causes insufficient working performance in research. For Japan, Japanese corporate management is sometimes argued as an issue. For example, workers in Japan increase their salary based on their seniority. It is not sometimes considered their actual ability, instead of that; company more considers their career and experience. This kind of Japanese traditional working system more tends to be applied by old company in Japan. Since Nintendo has an old history, these management implications are more applicable. Therefore, this case will be about Japanese-traditional-style management strategy of Nintendo. NINTENDO BACKGROUND Nintendo is one of the market leaders in a gaming industry. In particular, it is known as gaming hardware manufacturing corporation.

Among the few global Japanese home entertainment companies, Nintendo truly represents video game culture, and it is a well-known brand throughout the world. Our basic strategy is the expansion of the gaming population, which is to encourage as many people in the world as possible, regardless of age, gender or gaming experience, to embrace and enjoy playing video games. In 2004, Nintendo launched a handheld game device called Nintendo DS with dual screens including one touch screen, and has been expanding the diversity of consumers who enjoy video games by releasing applicable software titles in a range of genres that went beyond the then-current definition of games. In addition, Nintendo launched a home console game system called Wii in 2006, which lowered the threshold for people to play games by providing more intuitive gaming experiences with motion controllers. Nintendo offers home entertainment that enables family members and friends to have fun together in their living room and continuously strives to create an environment where everybody can enjoy video games.

  • The 77Th Annual General Meeting of Shareholders Nintendo Co., Ltd
    The 77th Annual General Meeting of Shareholders Nintendo Co., Ltd. Q & A Summary If you quote any or all of this Q&A, please display the URL of this website or put a link to this website. Q1 Prime Minister Abe dressed up as Mario for his entrance to the closing ceremony of the Rio de Janeiro Olympics. Did Nintendo consent to this performance, and, if it did, what were the reasons that led up to that decision? A1 Tatsumi Kimishima (Representative Director, President): I presume that the closing ceremony at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics was an opportunity to introduce Japan to the world and show a variety of characters from Japanese companies, including Mario, in order to convey the vast amount of IP (Intellectual Property) and culture that originates in Japan. We cooperated in this endeavor along with other companies to show one part of the Japanese culture, and I feel that the response from people all over the world was positive. Q2 The current video game market is divided into three segments: smart devices, home console and PC. Most recently, the PC gaming market has shown incredible growth and professional PC gamers are starting to appear in the United States. Are you planning any hardware or software initiatives in the PC market? A2 Kimishima: We are aware that many consumers play PC games. However, we believe that the integrated hardware-software business is the best way for us to provide the surprises and new gameplay experiences that we want to achieve. On the other hand, we offered three applications for smart devices during the previous fiscal year, and, though the content and consumers playing the applications were different, each one was received extremely favorably.

    ANNUAL REPORT 2008 Message from the President Throughout its history in the home entertainment arena, Nintendo has created unique hardware and software as one integrated entertainment product, with software being the primary driver. Nintendo has focused its basic strategy on expanding the worldwide gaming audience. To achieve this, Nintendo is encouraging as many people as possible around the world, through its unique hardware and software offerings, to experience and enjoy video game entertainment, regardless of their age, gender, language, cultural background or gaming experience. Nintendo’s first hardware launch in support of the basic strategy “Gaming Population Expansion“ was a hand-held device, Nintendo DS, which allows users to play intuitively. To drive this platform, Nintendo introduced a new software lineup, Touch! Generations, which expands the definition of video games and appeals not only to traditional gamers but also to inexperienced gamers. In the future, Nintendo plans to leverage various uses of the Nintendo DS system, such as playing in public places, and to take advantage of the high market penetration of the device. Nintendo took another step toward expanding the worldwide gaming population by launching an unprecedented video game console called Wii. Since its launch, Wii has been changing the definition of the home video game console significantly. Nintendo has been making efforts to promote Wii by developing compelling software which takes advantage of intuitive play controls enabled by its Wii Remote and other dedicated user interfaces, in addition to the conventional controller functions, and by enriching the Wii software library that can be enjoyed by anyone from novice to veteran gamers.

  • Nintendo Says Strong Demand for Wii U Games (Update) 2 February 2016
    Nintendo says strong demand for Wii U games (Update) 2 February 2016 the April-December period jumped nearly 35 percent to 42.5 billion yen ($352 million). But revenue was down almost four percent as holiday season sales weakened owing to a lack of new games releases. Net profit tumbled 32 percent, largely due to the fading benefit of a weak yen, it said. A sharp decline in Japan's currency has boosted the fortunes of major exporters, including Nintendo, in recent years by making them more competitive overseas and inflating the value of repatriated earnings, but that positive impact is declining. Nintendo said it sold over four million units of Nintendo is gearing up for the March release of its first Splatoon and 3.3 million of the Super Mario Maker foray into smartphone gaming, after years of refusing to title in the nine-month, "making both titles stray from a consoles-only policy blockbusters that have revitalised the Wii U".
