A few more tidbits from Nintendo of America boss Reggie Fils-Aime have been posted online, mainly relating to the difficulties in communicating messages to consumers.
In this latest Q&A, Reggie talked about the challenges of getting the right word out when it comes to new hardware. He specifically mentioned that it wasn’t so easy communicating the appeal of StreetPass on the 3DS, and the same applies for Wii U’s Miiverse.
Finally, Reggie commented on why Nintendo has been quiet about post-launch window titles for Wii U.
Head past the break for the goods.
More unannounced Wii U games coming, some releasing during launch window
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
A number of new Wii U games were confirmed at Nintendo’s press conference a few weeks back. There were some pretty big titles in that group: Bayonetta 2, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, and Call of Duty: Black Ops II.
Even though Nintendo did announce new games for the console, even more are on the way – and some will be released sooner rather than later.
When IGN prodded Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime, looking to obtain more information for interested fans, he told the site that more unannounced games are in the works, some of which will be available “during the launch window”. Unfortunately, Reggie wouldn’t say when we’ll learn about these mysterious releases.
Platinum Games “very interested” in 3DS
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Platinum Games is experienced in working with Nintendo handhelds – kind of. The studio made Infinite Space, but this was the only project they made for the handheld.
Platinum hasn’t announced any 3DS games, but the company is “very interested” in the platform.
Executive director Atsushi Inaba had this to say about the portable:
“We are very interested in the Nintendo 3DS as a platform. I view 3DS as a proper, straightforward evolution from a platform that has had huge success. Being able to view stereoscopic 3D with the naked eye is a great innovation, but very straightforward, so I’m very interested in it. Currently we have a lot of titles in development, and we can’t fund a 3DS game ourselves. So there’s nothing in the works. But I’m very positive on it.”

Rumor: Glory Days III heading to the 3DS eShop
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, Rumors | 0 comments
Glory Days has been around since the Game Boy Advance era. The series also appeared on the DS, DSiWare, and it looks like it’ll be hitting the 3DS eShop as well.
The image above, taken from Odenis Studio’s website, indicates that Glory Days III will arrive on the digital store next year. We can barely make out the title at the top of the page, but that does indeed to be what the text says.
Let’s hope we receive some news about this soon…
Thanks to Buck for the tip.
