Iwata believes Nintendo could have explained Wii U better
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
This information comes from Satoru Iwata…
“Because we put so much emphasis on the controller, there appeared to be some misunderstandings. We should have made more effort to explain how it works. We haven’t made any kind of blunder, but I should have shown a single picture of the new console, then started talking about the controller. The console is not drastically different, and Wii U is about the controller. The console itself will be almost invisible. There have been two groups of people writing about our announcement – those like the Evening Standard, who have been able to experience the Wii U, and those who have not, and are simply writing about it from wire stories and pictures. They cannot see how this can be a game changer. What Wii U will offer is very different, but I believe we have the strong potential to change the entire format of videogames and of entertainment.”
Those who weren’t aware that Nintendo was going to show a new console at E3 could have been very easily confused over the announcement. The console was practically absent in most of the pictures shown on stage. Heck, even some of the more hardcore gamers were confused as to whether the controller was just an add-on for Wii.
Ah well… Nintendo still has well over a year before this thing ships, so they have time to get their point across.

We posted this video earlier, but it had the last few seconds of footage cut off. It was actually right as Miyamoto was mentioning Pikmin Wii U.

Iwata says goodbye to tweeting on Nintendo of America’s Twitter

“#E3 is now over. Since this is my last #IwataSays guest tweet, I want to say thank you for allowing me to spend time with you.”
Reading Iwata’s tweets was actually very interesting! It’s too bad that this was a one-time thing. Perhaps he’ll think about tweeting again next year.
