With manufacturing for Nintendo's new console, the NX, .

Iwata went on to say that Nintendo is currently holding discussions with internal and external developers about "how to continue creating software for Wii U and 3DS" after the launch of the NX.

"As for Wii U, we will continue to make efforts, as it is a priority within the company to think about how we can satisfy the consumers who purchased this system to the maximum extent possible," he added.

Also during the shareholder meeting, Iwata acknowledged that the Wii U has struggled, saying to an investor, "I cannot disagree with your indication that Wii U is experiencing the most unfavorable situation."

But he hopes that things can be different for the NX.

"I will not share details on NX today but with regard to the launch of Nintendo 3DS and Wii U not necessarily having progressed well and not acquiring sufficient support from software publishers, we intend to offer NX through a Nintendo-like solution," he said. "Thank you for understanding that we are making various considerations and preparations in order to avoid what happened with the previous generations."
