Major shareholders in a company don't neccessarily have controlling stock, for example one major shareholder in Coca Cola holds something like a 2% stake in the company which is nowhere near enough to exert control. Each company as far as stocks go has a different situation.

The meetings match up with the timing reports like earnings happen, companies often notify major shareholders beforehand when to expect meetings and reports regardless.

Yeah, they don't neccesarily have controlling stock. I don't know how it works in Nintendo exactly, but that was an example of how it can work.
Either way, the point was the value in keeping major investors informed on business decisions relevant to their earnings. For whatever reason those specific investors are sitting at the table, telling them when Nintendo expects to make a profit on major projects is definitely of outmost interest to everyone involved.

They give them the information they need for the upcoming quarter. They wont give them updates on stuff a year in advance.
