LOS ANGELES (AP) — With a new theme park attraction opened last month, an upcoming major motion picture and the sequel to a massive hit video game about to be released, everything’s coming up Nintendo.

Doug Bowser, the head of Nintendo USA since 2019, spoke to The Associated Press at Universal Studios Hollywood’s Super Nintendo World in Los Angeles before its Feb. 17 grand opening. Q: You’ve got a new movie (“The Super Mario Bros. Movie,” April 7), this new attraction at Universal, and the new Legend of Zelda game (“Tears of the Kingdom,” May 12). What’s next, a prestige streaming TV show?

A: You’re hitting on something which is really important. This is a milestone, what you’re seeing here with Super Nintendo World. Universal Studios is a great partner to allow us to do Super Nintendo World. I won’t comment on your question regarding a streaming show. But it really is a reflection on this ability to share our IP with people well outside of the video game space.

Q: The new attraction I was able to see today is really impressive. Could there ever be an entire theme park build around Nintendo characters, like Disneyland?

A: Well, we’ve got a great partner with Universal Studios. I think we have packed a lot of exciting and fun stuff. Even with the size of the park here, you can spend hours just exploring, finding little Easter eggs, little treasures. If you load the app on your phone you can actually keep score, it’s very much like being in a video game, with the ability to play in a linear way but then also wander around and explore.

Q: Would you say video games are now the dominant force in entertainment?

A: They’re clearly a prominent form of entertainment right now. As we came through and out of the pandemic, they became an incredible source if you will, of people’s entertainment. We saw very nice growth in the industry over the last few years with people looking for different forms to entertain themselves at home, either as an individual online or with the family. So I do think it’s a form of entertainment going forward that people will continue to choose.

Q: What other characters besides the Mario Bros. would you like to develop new films or attractions around? Full disclosure, I’ve got a Donkey Kong tattoo, I’d be thrilled with a Donkey Kong movie for example.

A: That really is a call for the creative groups here at Universal Studios and of course, Nintendo. If you think about park experiences, we have announced that at the Universal Studios in Osaka that will be expanding that land to include Donkey Kong. There’s a whole new Donkey Kong area being built out with its primary feature being a roller coaster. You can just imagine what a Donkey Kong roller coaster might be like! We have announced that we are working on other video projects but we’re not at the point where we want to talk about what these characters are. I could share my favorites, but that probably wouldn’t be appropriate. If you’ve noticed with the new Super Mario Bros. movie, Seth Rogen does play Donkey Kong. So Donkey Kong is a part of the movie. So look forward to that!

Q: Is there any date for the Nintendo attractions at Universal Studios in Orlando and Singapore? Will they be bigger, different?

A: No date on Singapore. Orlando is a couple years in the future. You’ll have to wait and see. You can assume, if you look at Orlando, it’s got a lot of land, so it’s likely a bigger footprint.

Q: When is the next Switch coming out? What kinds of features or new capabilities would you like to see?

A: As we enter the seventh year for the Nintendo Switch, sales are still strong. I think we still have a very very strong lineup coming. As Mr. Furukawa (Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa) said recently, we’re entering uncharted territory with the platform. It’s exciting to see that demand is still there. So nothing to announce on any future console or device, but we are still feeling very bullish about Nintendo Switch.

I should be careful about what I personally would like to see (in a new Switch). But what I can share is that one of the reasons that even going into year seven we feel very confident that the Switch can have a strong performance over the next few years is that it is still truly that unique device that you can play in a variety of ways, at home, on the go. One of the things we look at always is how can we surprise and delight. How can we introduce new unique ways of playing. That’s always in front of our mind.

Q: Is Madden coming to the Switch?

A: That’s a better question for my good friends over at EA.

Q: Are supply chain problems still an issue?

A: Really coming out of the summer and into the final quarter of last year, the holiday period, we saw that that constriction if you will in chip supply reduce. So right now, from a supply chain perspective, we’re able to supply that demand that’s out there.

Q: How did you get to a $70 price figure for the upcoming Zelda game?

A: We look at what the game has to offer. I think fans will find this is an incredibly full, deeply immersive experience. The price point reflects the type of experience that fans can expect when it comes to playing this particular game. This isn’t a price point that we’ll necessarily have on all our titles. It’s actually a fairly common pricing model either here or in Europe or other parts of the world, where the pricing may vary depending on the game itself.

Q: Any sales goals for the new Zelda?

A: There are, but they’re not publicly disclosed yet.

Q: What’s the next big thing in gaming? The metaverse, AI, what else?

A: I think what you’ll see with gaming is that we’ll continue to see new technologies come into play that will allow us to expand the number of players that come in. As we think about technology, the most important thing is we think about how will it improve the gameplay experienced. It’s not technology for technology’s sake. Will it really create this experience that is immersive, that creates smiles. We lead with that and then see what technology can support that.

There are two Nintendo ADRs available OTC in the U.S.: NTDOY and NTDOF.

NTDOY ADR represents 1/8 of one Nintendo share traded in Japan. (In other words, U.S. investors need to buy 8 NTDOY ADRs to equal one ordinary share.) On the other hand, NTDOF ADR represents one regular share of Nintendo traded in Japan.

//found my answer

What's the difference between NTDOF and NTDOY... thanks

I hear ya. I know it seems crazy but I'm throwing a hard amount at this Monday or Tuesday.

Thinking 2000 shares to start. I love the company and think this ones a winner.

I agree! Wish they had a listing here that wasn’t this foreign crap but as good as any I guess

Mario movie is releasing next month.

Good entry right here!

Thank you

10:1 stock split

What happened here?

Nice test!

Test

GEARING UP for more divi's please,... The ONLY question which is an issue for MUCH HIGHER GROUND is the Olympics.

It would be a shame if they couldn't showcase this company TO THE WORLD & future generations....

Any retracement warrants ACCUMULATION

Back over 80 by next week I think!

More upside ON THE WAY~

Really not that boring, today. Lol

I said that about walmart, look now. :)

Well, I do agree with you there. It is in my retirement acct. :)

Boring stock. 401k it and walk away

NTDY, Nintendo a very quite board.

Hi bro thank you so much for recommending this site, i've been looking it so long. Now i'm playing Mario with my daughter

I took a little profit in the $50's, sure glad I only sold 1/4 th of my NTDOY holdings.

This stock going to be yuge

can't BELIEVE I picked this up & ADDED in the $30's! Would NOT BE surprised if we don't ever see it there AGAIN!

RIP $30's I've LOVED YOU LONG TIME!! xoxo

Another stock that had NO BUSINESS getting pounded down due to COVID. And the market is STILL ASLEEP on this bad boy! Raaaaaarrrr!

Looking for BIG RETURNS forthcoming into the Olympics. Wouldn't hurt if they held off into 2022 either! Stock would STILL get SWOLE!

Hallelujah! Waiting to see what happens when we break UP through $75 next month! Maybe sooner...

Oh, who LOVES YOU baby! I even put you in my ROTH IRA just before Pokemon GO! hit & you went BOOMIN! Now I had to let some of you go today BUT I promise to buy you back CHEAPER!! LOVE those divi's & next year will be EVEN BETTA!!

Me too! Looks like we'll see ANOTHER DOLLAR or so POP today! Holding & ENJOYING... Plus the divi's aren't bad either!

Olympics should be AMAZING with SNAP! going off here, new games, Corona the 2nd, etc., is ALL working in our favor! Profits have been SICK, TenCent, China, what's NOT to love? And, oh! Going higher!!

I AM SO PROUD TO BE A STOCK OWNER

Truth!

All my DD & Research has been coming-up GREAT. This is ANOTHER company that HAD NO BUSINESS getting pounded down post-Covid reveal but... Despite IMPROVEMENTS in business, China, TenCent, Movies, Mobile, IP (a BIG pickadily of mine) I think we're going to have some NICE SURPRISES leading OUT of Covid, into the Holiday season, into the Olympics, Universal & all those REVENUES!!

Should SEE more interest when they surprise here,... SOON ENOUGH! Stay ahead of the masses folks! Incredibly MARCH was a GIFT many of US did NOT deserve.

I haven't bought the 30's since PokemonGO! Crazy!! HAD TO double-fist & chomp-chomp those shares. You just don't too many chances to CAPITALIZE on the misconceptions, poor planning, lack of execution &/or general issues of others FOR WHATEVER REASON decided to SELL. Meanwhile, "Detective Pikachu", TenCent, China & Switch sales have been LIT!

The ONLY HIT really were immaterial things imv, like the Olympics postponement which would have helped business promotions & development I think (sans Covid) & the Universal Park. BUT NEITHER were ALREADY part of ANY real business to HURT the company, its model, products, etc.. so... I ADDED!!!

& collect them divi's of course!

Charts been tracking GREAT,...Nothing to do here but ACCUMULATE!

$NTDOY

Spammer guy is gone. Won’t complain

yep been a nice trading stock, board is not as active as it used to be though

Buy the dip? What a nice friggin move ...

okay thanks for the info

Pokémon Sword and Shield come out Nov 15. That’s going to be a huge title for Nintendo.

any forward catalyst here again, been a good trading stock, just wondering any new events?

Nintendo sneaking back up.. retest of highs could be soon

Does this pay dividends?

I believe they also make some $ (~10%?) off the new Detective Pikachu movie

I initially bought in at way too high a price of $46 but things are turning around now. Hoping Nintendo can support itself at above 40.

Boooooom

Bottom in here possible

Two NEW Switch models FORTHCOMING & MORE:
The Switch has been a big success for Nintendo. It sold more than 32 million consoles worldwide in under two years, which is more than double the lifetime sales figure of the Wii U.

Super Nintendo World Q&A


$NTDOY

time to eye this again for another trade been a good one, negative sentiment thanks to google anywhere videogame but nintendo has long term brand name that is recognizable. Ask anybody in the world who is mario? Good chance they will know

Expecting a min-test of $44.75 (with a $42.9 test otw).

Could see HALF of what Goldman Sachs predicted for the stock ($95.00 target) soon enough!!
