Coming from Reggie Fils-Aime...
On Virtual Console for Switch
"We know that our fans, our players, want access to all of our digital content, we know that. What we're working through is, 'okay, what's going to be the best way to make that happen, to make that available?' Certainly, we recognize there's an appetite for all of our great legacy content.
On improving My Nintendo and possibly doing physical rewards
From the Nintendo of America standpoint, we have it as a priority to make My Nintendo much more meaningful moving forward. The challenge I would just share is, unlike Japan, which is a very concentrated market, I've got to create solutions that are going to work for Canada, that are going to work for Latin America. (It's a) much more diverse marketplace... physical goods gets a little more challenging. Could I envision unique physical goods as part of the program? Sure. But it really needs to work for all of our consumers, not just the consumers in the United States."
On digital versus physical sales
"For Nintendo, truly every game is different, and franchise drives some of this, as well as how the consumer wants to experience that game. (Zelda: BotW had a) strong digital percent, but not as strong as Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on a pure percentage basis. (We think MK8D was higher) because the nature of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is something that you always want to have on the device. You're out on the go, and so someone is eyeing your Nintendo Switch, eyeing those Joy-Con controllers to pop it out and immediately have a multiplayer experience, I think is part of what makes Mario Kart 8 Deluxe special.
Zelda is a one-on-one experience. It is my game, it's my 100 shrines, it's what I'm doing, and so it's just not as conducive to pop it down and to share a remote, which is why I think the digital percent is maybe a little bit different."
Snipperclips sales so far
"The sell-through of that game has been phenomenal here in the Americas."
