Among the Sheep dev open to Wii U version
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 2 Comments
Krillbite Studio, developer of Among the Sheep, has expressed some interest in bringing its first-person horror adventure to Wii U.
Krillbite was asked by a fan if an eShop release would be a possibility. While it’s something the company would “like to do”, the team is focusing on announced platforms for the time being.
@Shashpant A Wii U release is something we'd like to do, but we have to keep our focus on our announced platforms for now.

Iwata says a single game can influence a system’s fate, will work hard to give Wii U momentum
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Wii U | 15 Comments
Nintendo president Satoru Iwata closed out the company’s investor briefing last week by expressing continued dedication to Wii U. His comments came about when one investor questioned the console’s ability to reach a higher level of sales in future fiscal years.
In his response, Iwata recounted how the Game Boy was in a slump before the introducing of Pokemon. He said, “the Pokemon game singlehandedly changed the landscape of the system, which then started to show the strongest sales in the lifecycle of the system.” Iwata’s comment suggests that Wii U could experience something similar if a strong title is introduced.
Regarding Wii U, Iwata did mention that Nintendo “would like to work hard to make sure that we give sufficient momentum to the system so that we can expect good results in and after the next fiscal year”.
As always, you can find Iwata’s full comments below.

Iwata talks Nintendo’s Wii U forecast, GamePad-focused titles, character figurines
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 1 Comment
During the Q&A portion of Nintendo’s investor briefing last week, president Satoru Iwata was questioned about the company’s Wii U forecast of 3.60 million units for the fiscal year ending in March 2015. He was also asked if Nintendo still maintains the idea that software drives hardware sales.
Iwata responded by saying that its forecast is based on the minimum target Nintendo should reach based on the release of Mario Kart 8 and Super Smash Bros., “the pillars of our entire marketing strategy for this year.”
Iwata went on to discuss the GamePad-focused titles in development (heard about previously, now with direct quotes), and Nintendo’s NFP plans.

Recently, we learned that Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire will be featured in the next issue of CoroCoro. A tiny bit of information has now emerged on what the magazine intends to share.
When the next edition of CoroCoro lands, you can expect some sort of scoop about legendary Pokemon in the Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. I wonder what that might be about…
