New Nintendo announcements, trying to stave off all of the "Nintendo is doomed!" talk:
-Nintendo DS virtual console for Wii U (touchscreen is touchscreen, TV is upper screen)
-Nintendo is looking into doing "non-wearable" (this is somehow a step past wearable tech, though how exactly I don't know) "quality of life" products that are for adults and... I don't know, they didn't explain things well at all. See here: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=760097 We'll learn more about this in the future, if anything comes of it.
-Nintendo may make its handhelds and consoles more similar in the future. Lazy talked about something like this years ago, and a variant of it could happen? http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=760127
For the full briefing summary, see: http://blogs.wsj.com/digits/2014/01/29/l...direction/
Also, Iwata is not resigning. The Nintendo board will take mandatory pay cuts between February and June of this year, though.
