As of late, Hironobu Sakaguchi has been focusing his efforts on the iOS title “Party Wave”. While it’s unclear if he’ll once again make meaty console games in the near future, Sakaguchi and team behind The Last Story are looking forward to the Wii U. Moreover, they’d like to make some RPGs for the system.

Lead designer Takuya Matsumoto has said that the GamePad’s screen “will add another level of strategic elements into the action-RPG.” The only issue is that nothing is planned yet.

Here’s how Matsumoto responded when asked if The Last Story could lead to more action-RPGs for Wii U:

“The development team and Sakaguchi-san are looking forward to making more, especially for the Wii U because it has another [screen] right in front of you that will add another level of strategic elements into the action-RPG. So we are really looking forward to it, but we haven’t really planned anything.”

Alright, Nintendo…get to work. Time to ask Mistwalker for some Wii U RPGs.

Nintendo has been talking about the 3DS’ launch mistakes for months on end now. The company has also explained how it’ll be avoiding similar issues with Wii U.

Nintendo UK boss David Yarnton has once again commented on what will be done to make the console’s debut smoother, which includes the day-one availability of downloadable games as well as Netflix and Amazon services.

Yarton said:

“One of the problems with 3DS was content. When we launched we didn’t have the content we do now, or the functionality for download games either. We do have that now, and did get there a few months after launch.

“But with the Wii U, we had 23 games on show at E3, plus Netflix and Amazon and other services all hopefully for launch – it’s a great value proposition.”

Yarton wasn’t willing to discuss Wii U’s pricing yet, but Nintendo does “have a cost we have to hit to get our money back”.

Throughout the week, video games have been highlighted on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. But the event wouldn’t be complete without an appearance from Nintendo, right?

Fortunately Reggie Fils-Aime will be on hand for the show and will be bringing the Wii U along. US viewers can watch Reggie’s TV appearance at 12:35 AM tonight.

You can view a couple of Reggie’s other appearances on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon here and here.

The possibility of the Wii U getting a version of Grand Theft Auto V just got a whole lot slimmer. That’s because Take-Two has shared the sentiment that the company is “skeptical” of the console, and isn’t committing any of its core titles just yet.

According to Gamasutra, the Wii U will be supported with sports and family releases. Nothing beyond this for now, though.

When asked for his thoughts about Wii U, Take-Two Interactive Software chairman and CEO Strauss Zelnick said, “We haven’t announced anything. I’m skeptical.”
