I'm expecting NX info. Why should I always keep "expectations" low? All I'm expecting is a more concrete NX reveal date other than "fall". I'm tired of this "keep expectations low" mindset. If we get a more concrete date, then it's cool. If we don't get a date it's still cool because I'm expecting September anyways.
It's not about keeping your expectations low, it's about keeping them realistic. After what Miyamoto said I believe it will be at least a couple of months before we get some solid info/leaks.
"While I can't share anything about NX's hardware capabilities at this time, I can confirm that we are collaborating with SEGA to bring the next Sonic game from Sonic Team at the system launch. In fact Sonic for NX is the only game launching for NX at its release in fall 2017, this to fully immerse players in the colorful world of Sonic and his friends. Please look forward to the full NX reveal in early 2017, as Nintendo of America president and COO Reggie Fils-Aime kicks off the year of NX by introducing the new Sonic game to the world and how it takes advantage of the system's brand-new concept."

Nintendo's FY 2016 Corporate Management Policy Briefing / Semi-Annual Financial Results Briefing is tentatively scheduled for late October (last year it was held on October 29). There usually is no briefing for the First Quarter Earnings Release (the FY 2016 one is scheduled for July 27, 2016), so the October event will likely be the next time after the shareholders meeting for analysts/investors to ask Nintendo questions on a major scale.
Hopefully NX will be revealed before October 29.
The Q&A usually brings some news, and the dedicated thread is bound to feature some humorous moments. And again, as stated before, the First Quarter Earnings Release usually has no briefing.
Aisha Tyler pops in, hey hey now, don't forget we are doing something that has never been done before and first on the NX, releasing Just Dance 2017 and Just Dance 2018 at the same time all in one girlwood certified package, *cue crazy Just Dance Dancers*

Again: this isn't an investor results briefing. There was no press release of any kind from last year's shareholders meeting, so don't get your hopes up. Any semblance of actual news will most likely be in the Q&A, which won't be transcribed for another day or so (and won't be translated for a few more days after that).

Expeting: Nothing
Wishing/Suprising: Timeframe for NX event
Most likely: Stupid questions from shareholders about why Nintendo makes "television games"

Honestly if we're getting some tidbit about the NX event, i'd call it a massive win already.

Yes. The Annual General Meeting of Shareholders is open to basically any shareholder. The earnings release briefings are open to analysts and institutional investors only.

The Q&A will almost certainly see some NX questions, with likely non-answers.
Curious to see how the voting goes though, seeing as how investor confidence likely isn't very high right now. There's a (probably very small) chance we might see some shakeups.

Are you ready for.... The Nintendo Wave?

The possibility of successfully getting anything substantial from an Annual General Meeting of Shareholders of Nintendo is approximately 3,720 to 1.

LOL!!!
Now Kimishima's just trolling us!
LOL!!! NX is a treadmill so we can all run fast! QoL!
Haha, I'm all for celebrity guest appearances and dance numbers at shareholders meetings!
There will definitely be NX information! I don't buy the "realistic" thing either as realistic is often just a rebranded "keep it low."
We can play shareholder Q&A bingo. I mean, what honestly is on Nintendo's horizon that investors may be interested in:
NX
Mobile efforts/games
Leadership changes
What's left for the current systems
Dividend payouts
Zelda
IP-related ventures
That's about all I can think about. I really hope they don't blow the Q&A just to gripe about why they didn't show the Zelda trailer at the meeting instead of financial information!
But, again, NX is on the agenda for the meeting as an issue to be addressed, so something is bound to come about related to it! Just give us a date when you'll "reveal" it and I'll be happy as Toad!
Can I use the Wavebird with the Nintendo Wave? (Q&A question #1)

Sure, someone might livetweet. I just don't see them properly announcing anything tonight, as opposed to vaguely hinting at things.

Me too. Nintendo's management needed to be called out on their declining business. And I can see how the one question regarding Zelda got the pissed off investor even more riled up. Nintendo are taking losses for the first time ever and this guy has the nerve to ask, "When will we learn more about the next Zelda game?" haha
Because I'm desperate and they just skipped the industries biggest event for revealing information.

...they would announce the date of the NX reveal at the NX reveal? Huh?

I originally read that as "release date," not reveal date.
But I don't think they'd announce a reveal date there, either. Investors aren't going to the reveal.
I don't know about everyone here but I've been hyping for NX news since the first February meeting and I am just surprised we know so little since then. Power, Gimmick, Games, nothing(substantial). NOTHING. I'm not even mad, I'm impressed Nintendo has kept it sealed so well for so long. We knew about Scorpio and Neo ahead of announcement, and the leaked specs/features are very accurate. And even though there are leak sources I trust I can't even say with a degree of certainty that I "know" anything about the NX.
And given the course of things I would suggest everyone severely lowering their expectations for this meeting. There will most likely be nothing of interest revealed, as Nintendo won't reveal things until they are ready, and some random Q&A session is not the method that they will choose to reveal anything to us.
"You will know more very soon." is the most I can see from the meeting.

Nothing has been confirmed yet I think, but NStyles gave a small indication of being at the event: https://twitter.com/NStyles/status/747772983603671041
NStyles tweeted from the meeting last year. Also, his name on Twitter is Alex / June 29, Nintendo shareholders' meeting.
Fuck... I really need some new info on Nintendo's hardware plans. Even those Q&A sessions make me thirsty as fuck.Again: this isn't an investor results briefing.

Any semblance of actual news will most likely be in the Q&A, which won't be transcribed for another day or so (and won't be translated for a few more days after that).
I love Nintendo, but sometimes (certain years in particular) it's truly hard being such a die hard fan.

I think NX is going to be one of those things where it gets revealed and people go "Oh, there were rumors about (thing) like a year ago."

I expect info that will set the drumroll up to the NX reveal.
I think the only newsworthy things (beyond the Board of Directors restructure getting approved) will be the Q&A.
I think we might get an announcement of the NX reveal date with the Q1 fiscal results in a press release in late July. The timing there is about right if we're looking at an early September reveal before TGS as many have speculated.

Doubt it. Maybe next meeting July/August will as it's probably the last before it.

The First Quarter Earnings Release usually has no meeting/briefing. Nintendo's FY 2016 First Quarter Earnings Release is scheduled for July 27.
Because that mockup controller was closer to the real thing than people thought?
I don't think that the date of a formal product reveal would be revealed at the formal product reveal. That would open up a black hole or something.

It likely will have something to do with that "mystery acquisition" Nintendo made a few years ago for like $100m...
They've been filing a lot of patent applications that focus on image sensors, and specifically a lot of IR sensors... I wonder if NX will have a lot of these types of sensor capabilities.
