- The head of a large Chinese investment firm assigned to analyze Nintendo observed that "Nintendo must leverage its intellectual property, such as its characters."
- A few years ago Nintendo was planning to open a theme park based on its characters in Kyoto, but the project has apparently got stalled

- Iwata said "only after playing the Wii U is it possible to understand its appeal. Low sales are due to the console being not well-enough known."
- Within the company, proposals for how to play the WiiU are being considere
- Current cash reserves are over 500 billion yen
- whether Iwata will be given unlimited time to fix things is a separate question.
- at the general meeting in March 2011, Iwata was reappointed with 92.89% of the vote, but in 2013 he was reappointed with only 77.26%
- June will be a true test for Iwata
