- Wii U before Christmas
- appropriate titles prepared for launch
- Wii U will have near field communication for easy settlement (may mean the Wii U controller has a touch-to-sync option for syncing to the Wii U itself)
- this will be international
- Wii U will have individual accounts per system>
- lots of internet/digital related news going forward, but not today
- if those that are Super Mario fans get tired of the content they have, Nintendo could look into digital content to drive extra sales
- digital is not the enemy of retail and will not match retail pricing
- Nintendo will be talking with partners to figure out digital approach
- Nintendo doesn't want to decline third parties that want to charge for digital content
- Nintendo has learned not to have gaps inbetween software releases, sees digital as a way to fill those periods
- several alliances/partnerships with external parties, previously not considered, will be announced this year
- Miyamoto is once again not going into retirement but allocating time to "chatting" to the young developers
- trying to reach those that haven't done development before
"Digital will include user to user communications and sharing. Iwata mentioned the possibility of selling your copy of digital game to a friend after being done with it."
