I read the related news, I'm guessing this is what Iwata is talking about. But is there more?

Nintendo already said that they won't put their games on smartphones and any other non-Nintendo device.
And, just to clarify, Cooking Mama has nothing to do with Nintendo. it's an Office Create's game published by Taito and others...
Im actually wondering why Nintendo is still in buissnes.
Dont know im totally bored to see the next Super Mario Bros, Donkey Kong, Mario Kart, Zelda and so on.
Also bring out old games with new graphics on the new system is lame. Sorry why buy an old game with better graphics ?
Granted i dont watch Videogame market or look at Nintendo what they realesed or will.
I had the wii that did look pomising but failed later ( for me ). Later i did use the wii only for hacking and homebrew not playing anything.
The Wii U seems to mee a Wii with better graphics and tablet controller and that what ppl that own it tell me too.
Do i see a reason to buy the Wii U ? nope. I still have my DS lite, some ppl still have DSI and a lot ppl that have the 3DS play more 2D then 3D.
Maybe its mostly because i dont have much time to play anymore and the few times i can, i actually play on PC.
Games are cheap or even free to play (Hearthstone, Lineage2) and most console games come out for PC too.
Mainly the reason i dont watch at Videogame consoles is the PC can emulate most of the old consoles pretty well, Games get cheap after a year or so. You get top Games for 7-10 Euros so why bother buy a console anymore ?
Ok now u say u dont get Nintendo Games on PC, thats right but i dont really need them. Beside that PC can actually emulate the Wii and the few games i tested run pretty well.

Not everyone has the money to build a 'decent' PC, or know what to look for.
Regarding that the Wii U is a Wii with better graphics and a tablet controller, that's the whole idea of newer consoles. Better graphics and support for newer games. Did you expect it to fly, or even make a sandwich?
Nintendo at least tries to innovate the way people play. Sony and Microsoft don't really use new ways for gaming. There might be the Kinect and Playstation Move accessories, but they are nothing more than that.
As for emulation, people buy consoles to play the games legitimately, and not to pirate them. Playing games on the console that were made for a specific console work much better than to emulate them on PC. Try to play any Wii game that needs the motion functions of the Wiimote, that isn't going to work easily.
Well the NES found a way (albeit prototype) to knit for you so it wouldn't be that crazy now, right? .-.

Kid Icarus
Luigi's Mansion
Yoshi

and so on....
I'm wondering why you think that about Nintendo and don't about Microsoft
I'm totally bored to see the next Halo, Forza, Gears and
Old games with new graphics? Which one? I think you are referring at the Zelda Wind Waker remake. It's just ONE remake. It's the best remake ever made (it's not just a graphics remake), and it's a 10 years old game remake. Actually Sony is making a 1 year old game remake (the last of us), which I bet it's just for the graphics side.
The tablet controller potentially adds a lot of brand new gameplay, especially in multiplayer. Just try a couple of D1 games (Nintendoland and Zombi U, for example)
By the way, the PS4 is just a PS3 with better graphics, isn't it?
Games.
Games that you can play only on Wii U.
Yes, VERY OLD consoles.
PC can't emulate neither Xbox360 nor PS3, a 8+ years consoles.

But that was a accessory, and not the main feature of it. There have been a ton of accessories for a lot of different consoles which all do 'weird' stuffWell the NES found a way (albeit prototype) to knit for you so it wouldn't be that crazy now, right? .-.

Actually...
I knew it but..... It's very very far from 100% accurate emulation (actually, according to the Faqs, it can't run any commercial game)
There are some games which are 'playable' with about 2 frames per second, huge graphical glitches and a lot of audio errors, but it's a start. Anyway, kinda getting off-topic now
Nintendo WAS innovative on gaming frachises, It is not anymore... They are recycling stuff from past at every single release. Their current days attepts resulted in faliure.
Keep living the warp pipe dream that Nintendo will bring all these unannounced and dead franchises back.
And the PC can't emulate the Xbox 360 or PS3 but can play most of the multiplats between them and at this point the consoles are so inexpensive that buying one to play the few non-PC shared games (or even games that just run better on consoles) isn't that outrageous.
The Wii U is an upgraded Wii I hear, but the Wii was vastly underpowered so the Wii U continues to be vastly underpowered as well. It's not even bringing a next gen experience outside of graphics, it's just playing catch up. Like Nintendo just got an online infrastructure roughly similar to Xbox Live and PSN. Meanwhile Xbox Live and PSN are busy adding tons of new features such as streaming through Twitch or similar services and even streaming whole games to your console.
Guys lets face it, nintendo won't step outside of the electronic based products due to the fact that they have invested in so much time and money into this industry. I wouldn't be surprised if they decided to integrate with the cellular market or the 3d printing market because those industries are very profitable.
the only unannounced titles I listed are F-Zero and Starfox (everyone knows that Metroid is in the work)
The others are announced or released on 3DS. By the way, I just listed (not all) Nintendo's IP in response to this
which is not necessarily related to Wii U....
Ah, and I forgot Fire Emblem....
Like PS4 is an upgraded PS3. But while the Wii U has the Gamepad that can bring a next-gen and brand new experience, PS4 can only bring a next-gen graphics which is less interesting (and the PC is already a step ahead)
....my sides.
I was all read to question the 3ds sales things but then it does seem to be reasonably comparable to the DS for the time on market, library is not half the DS one though if you do not care for Nintendo devs (it was quite possible to do that on the GBA and DS, now they all went andrios it seems, though I have no objections there).

@Xdqwerty, to answer your question, they're a fusion Brit-pop/J-pop/electronic band with a woman vocalist. Flamingo is hands down their best known song but they've got a ton of other really good songs+1 -

For example, one of my other favorite songs from them, with some massive house music influence -+1
