To me its obvious something major is going down with new hardware.

A 100 million mysterious acquisition

An increase of 270 million in R & D in a single quarter

The whole mysterious QOL

Nintendo has new hardware coming and we're going to see it soon

OOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH I love me some wild speculation! Get the popcorn ready!

If it was my dream scenario, it would be a company like Gaikai so Nintendo can start its own streaming and crossbuy service.

Something pretty big for sure. 100 million is a serious investment.

Will this be exposed in the Q&A later today?

Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile

They bought the Dreamcast from SEGA!
