Iwata: Nintendo hasn’t given up on the Wii
Project Cafe will in fact be released next year, but the console won’t launch until April at the earliest. As a result, Nintendo will have to deliver content for the Wii for at least one more year. And that’s exactly what the Big N plans to do. Satoru Iwata has promised that Nintendo isn’t giving up on the Wii just yet, and, as we noted earlier in the day, will ship significant software every month until the end of the year.
“We have not released any new Nintendo software titles for Wii, except for ‘The Last Story’ (Japanese Title) in January, partly because we have focused on the launch of Nintendo 3DS since the beginning of this year. Therefore, some in Japan seem to have the misunderstanding that Nintendo has given up making efforts on Wii. We are actually ready to release new Wii software titles every month from May to the end of this year. Today I’d like to tell you about our definite plan for this summer.”
These titles include: Pandora’s Tower on May 26, GoldenEye 007 in June, and Wii Play: Motion in July. Rhythm Paradise, Inazuma Eleven Strikers, Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games, Just Dance 2, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, and a new Kirby title will also be released before the end of the year.
