Nintendo president outlines plans for 2016; NX details coming Nintendo's new president has outlined his plans for the company, which includes details on the Nintendo NX, the future of its smartphone apps, and more.

Nintendo president Tatsumi Kimishima has revealed the company’s plans for 2016, which includes the Nintendo NX, film and TV, and more.

Kimishima-san published his outline of 2016 in Mainichi Shimbun and says Nintendo would like to surprise fans with new ideas this year, and not build on old ones. As a result, Nintendo plans on releasing details of its upcoming console, the Nintendo NX.

Beyond consoles, Kimishima-san reveals the first smartphone app from Nintendo will be rolled out in March 2016 and promises apps with well-known characters will launch in 2016. Outside of the smartphone business, Kimishima-san also plans on expanding Nintendo’s reach to theme parks, movies, and TV animes.

As for Nintendo’s financials, Kimishima-san plans to bring profits to 100 billion yen ($855 million) in “several years.”

A report was published in late 2015 that says the Nintendo NX will enter mass production at the end of Q1 2016. If that report turns out to be true, then we should hopefully hear more about the upcoming console sooner rather than later.
