Nintendo at E3: Watch the Wii U event live stream (updated live blog)

2014-06-10 16:53:13| Extremetech

At 12pm Eastern time (9am Pacific, 5pm UK), Nintendo will wrap up the major E3 press conferences with its own "digital event." Like last year, Nintendo won't put on a flashy stage show, instead opting for a televised pre-recorded stream. With the games industry's attention firmly on Sony and Microsoft, now would be the perfect opportunity for Nintendo to sneak up from behind with some exciting announcements. A live stream of the Nintendo E3 event is embedded below -- and once the event begins, this post will be updated as a live blog.

Nintendo reports massive annual loss on the back of anemic Wii U and 3DS sales

2014-05-07 18:01:14| Extremetech

Nintendo, with lower-than-expected sales of both the Wii U and 3DS, has reported an annual loss of $229 million (23.2 billion yen). This is down from last year's wea profits of around $69 million (7.1 billion yen). The company says it is establishing a new "health" division in an attempt to bolster its customer numbers and revenues. Meanwhile, analysts and pundits are vehement that Nintendo needs to fully embrace mobile gaming -- as in, Mario games for smartphones -- if it wants to remain relevant. In any case, Nintendo isn't likely to right the ship any time soon: Any new health or mobile efforts will take at least a year to realize properly, and with the company yet again foregoing its E3 keynote this year, Nintendo's agenda for 2014 probably just consists of Wii U and 3DS games.
