Much has been made of the Wii U’s price. Some have said that the console is simply too expensive, especially when compared to other upcoming systems such as the PlayStation 4.

But Nintendo president Satoru Iwata, speaking with CVG, said that the Wii U’s price is not the problem. Rather, the dearth of exciting titles is the root of the problem, “and the only solution is to provide the mass-market with a number of quality software titles.”

Iwata said:

“If the price is actually an issue [with Wii U], then there is some contradiction between the current sales balance between the Basic and Premium versions of the Wii U. The basic version should have sold a lot, but the fact of the matter is that people are buying more of the premium version. So the issue is not there.”

“I understand that the real issue is the lack of software, and the only solution is to provide the mass-market with a number of quality software titles.”

I decided to take some footage of the The Wonderful 101 demo and edit it together to help some of you make sense of what the game really is! Within the footage is both explanation and review, so you’ll know what things work and what things don’t about the game prior to ever having to try it yourself!

Nintendo Everything has received confirmation from WayForward that Mighty Switch Force! 2 is coming to Wii U, but “it’s kind of a backburner project right now”. The studio hopes to make an official announcement sometime within the next few weeks.

Mighty Switch Force! 2 originally hit the 3DS eShop in June. PEGI rated a Wii U version just one month later, hinting at a potential release on Nintendo’s home console.

The first Mighty Switch Force!, released in late 2011, was initially a 3DS-only title as well. But for the Wii U’s launch, WayForward created a new version subtitled “Hyper Drive Edition”.
