Iwata: "I think the public view of Nintendo will be changed"

[Deleted-236924]

Im gonna be that guy and ask the question everyone hates.

How is this news?

I think he is right that the people have to touch the wii u. I was not very positive about the wii u and the gamepad. Testing in a store didn`t change my mind. I bought one only because it was a good offer (240€ premium pack with Nintendo Land) and because I knew that I want to play games like Mario Kart, Zelda etc in the future. But after I played at home, I was convinced that the Wii U is a great console. The gamepad is fantastic. I didn`t believe that I need switching between TV and the gamepad on the run and now I love it. For the first time I bought VC games because of this. Normally I pirate old games. Also I bought Sonic Racing although I already have the game on my jailbroken PS3.

Well obviously, that's part of its controls.

Hey-oh!

If the poster of this topic had bothered to quote the very next paragraph, he'd see that the Wii U actually does have games coming out.

High-profile first-party Wii U games due out this year include Pikmin 3 (August), The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD (October), Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (November), and Super Mario 3D World (December). Next year's lineup includes Mario Kart 8 and an all-new Super Smash Bros. title, among others.
Another major Wii U product in the pipeline is the brand-new Legend of Zelda title...

Oh wait, but that doesn't fit with his 4chan-esque jab at the Wii U.

Ofc, because we no want first party games. We want 3rd party too. XD

You REALLY like that series, don't ya?

I suck at rhythm games, so I never bothered playing it. And this is coming from a band kid.

But that's part of the problem, isn't it? The never ending cycle with Nintendo and 3rd parties going "Sell your games, then we'll come!", then once that happens, "We can't compete with Nintendo titles, might as well not even bother." Of course you can't beat the primary reason people buy into the big N, but I'm sure if 3rd parties actually utilized the hardware properly and advertised well enough, that could come damn near close.

Also, I think Iwata is right, once they get their collective asses together and fix things, the Wii U will get rolling. As someone else said earlier, Nintendo is giving the 3DS a little too much attention; it's build up a decent library and can be put to the side for awhile. 3rd party wise with the Wii U, the only really interesting games are multiplat (Besides Lego City, but still...), so no dice there.

Side Note: Give me Dragon Quest X, dang it! THAT would make me buy a Wii U ASAP.

what is it with an overwhelming majority of videogame companies and their take on consumers. it is always the same shtick. consumers are uninformed, stupid, need to be spoon fed etc. this has nothing to do with an overall lack of quality exclauive software on the wii u right? obviously people love watered down ports compared to their ps3 / 360 counterpart.


i like companies like paradox interactive. they dish out mean content and a reasonable price. the dlc is optional, reasonably priced and JUST WERKS

"So, what we really need to do now is to launch software titles for the Wii U that can take advantage of its unique aspects, one after the other,"

I swear I read a quote from him recently saying Nintendo's planning on releasing games that utilise the Wii U's features later in its lifecycle to prove that Wii U gaming doesn't have to be a gimmick and to attract more casuals. Can't find the article though.

The problem with NintenDONT is they dont realise Mario should have been killed years ago and they shouldn't re-release the same game for every new console. Whats really the difference between the very first Super Mario Bro's and the latest WiiU version? Its the SAME game just updated for the new console. I never liked the first game and dont like the updated version. The only Mario that is ok is the 3D one for the 3dS as thats new but SMB for WiiU is just a new coat of paint for a very old game that should stay old.

What NintenDONT need to do is make the game devs happy so they make games for the WiiU and STOP making it a nintenDONT console. Not everyone likes Mario and Sonic and limiting the console to those franchises is limiting the buyers. I unfortunately got one thinking it will get all the games the other 2 consoles would be getting but thats not the case as NintenDONT have ignored the game devs and they arn't interested in making games for it anymore. WRONG move from NintenDONT.

Nintendo will only be changed -in a good way- if they would add online game play to their games. Not just to Mario Kart...

While I don't personally like the new SMB games as much as I like some of the other Nintendo franchises, you can't just go around saying there is no difference in the first SMB compared to the latest NSMBU (sp?). The games changed a lot already on the NES. While Mario is probably one of the most milked characters right after Star Wars, Nintendo can still make great games with it. Hopefully Nintendo realizes this and also adds the older games to the list of releases, VC or "HD" collections. They're not making a penny on old NES games (lets not even go to emulation), but a few $$ here and a few $$ there on old titles would make quite a few people happy. Just look at how Sony is doing with old PSX titles, games that haven't been sold in stores for years. They're going for a few $ at the minimum, roughly $10 max for games like FFVII-IX. How can they go wrong?

ps. First time I've bought a digital version of a game that I own already is from PSN. Digital for portables? Profit.

 

[Mantis41]

Yeah, but the Wii U needs "good" gaems.

Fixed

 

[shadow1w2]

F-zero and Starfox would be nice.
Future games are looking good but they really need to get some content on there.

Personally I'm waiting for a price drop.
Sure the screen is gonna cost some but for out dated hardware I think they can manage to lower the price a little.

 

[stanleyopar2000]

but the Wii-U...

HAS NO good GAMES...

 

[EzekielRage]

The essentials lists (both) say otherwise...

 

[Foxi4]

1. make a Rhythm Heaven game for Wii U.
2. release it outside of japan.
3. ?????
4. profit!!

Uh-huh, that's totally going to bring the core gamers back. Totally not a niche title for a more casual audience at all. ;O;

The essentials lists (both) say otherwise...

Uh-huh. Even the Saturn has a list of "Essentials" somewhere in the Interwebs and it "Essentially" had nogaems.

 

[EzekielRage]

so how many good games SHOULD a system have after eight months out?
