Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has sounded off on social gaming for Wii U and the Miiverse.

Iwata feels that gaming is now in an era “where even a single-player game experience can have a social component”. For Miiverse, Nintendo wants to have “a gaming platform as the place to create that ‘social graph’ for folks who are in gaming circles”. He also hopes it’ll allow those who are playing alone to not actually feel like they’re playing by themselves.

There’s lots of commentary below from Iwata concerning social gaming and Miiverse – be sure to check it out.

This week I think we had a very nice discussion about the Wii U and the concern that it will be filled with ports of PS360 games! Additionally we wrap things up discussion IGN’s list of top ten 3DS games so far. Check it out here:

Also, if you’re wondering why I haven’t put this podcast on iTunes, it’s because I’m a firm believer in the concept that the first ten of anything you make (such as this podcast) are destined to be crap. So we’re gonna do ten “test” episodes via archive.org and then I’ll get them subscribe-able on iTunes for you guys after they get good! : D
