Wii U

Remember, you can nab the Ganondorf figurine by purchasing Zelda: Wind Waker HD at GameStop.


How does Reggie Fils-Aime feel about the competition? Not too strongly.

Regarding the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One launch lineups, Nintendo of America’s president gave a “Meh”. In contrast, he has good feelings about the Wii U’s upcoming titles and “the value proposition we’re putting out there for the consumer.”

“It’s all about the games. The competitive systems have announced their launch lineups. I’m allowed to say ‘Meh’. I look at our lineup of titles and I feel good about our lineup. We’ve got Zelda. We’ve got Mario. We’ve got Donkey Kong. In addition to great titles like Pikmin 3 and Wonderful 101, I feel very good about our lineup, and I feel very good about the value proposition we’re putting out there for the consumer.”

When asked how Nintendo can compete with new services offered by the competition such as cloud gaming and more, Reggie responded:

“We’ve got cloud technology that we’re delivering with Wii U. Nintendo TV is all cloud-based technology. But the difference is, we don’t talk about the tech. We talk about the experience. We make sure that the consumer has fun with the game experiences that we provide. And so I think as you compare and contrast Nintendo with other players in the space, for us it’s about games, about the fun, about the entertainment value, and not about the tech.”

“The cadence of the releases seems to have found a nice equilibrium with people’s appetite. There’s demand and excitement each and every time out. Then people are playing throughout the year. We don’t take anything for granted.”

“Having alternating studios is one of the secrets to the franchise’s success. You have different creative people who are strong-willed and have minds of their own. Everyone gets what makes a great Call of Duty game. Treyarch and IW are the masters, and have built this thing. So, there’s a lot of common DNA from year to year. But then people come in and want to top each other. There’s some healthy competition. There’s a desire within the creative team to not do the same thing and not be stagnant, the same way there is in the player community.”

– Activision Publishing CEO Eric Hirshberg


Hirshberg also mentioned how Call of Duty releases have become a sort of “pop culture event” that people want to take part in simply because it’s topical. He compared to to the release of Avatar (2009 movie), saying “a lot of non-hardcore sci-fi fans saw Avatar because it was an event. You felt you had to be a part of it. We’ve reached the status with Call of Duty of this sort of pop-cultural inevitability.”

After an extremely long wait, Nintendo intends to release Scribblenauts Unlimited in Europe in December. That applies to both versions of the game – Wii U and 3DS.

Meanwhile, the next entry in the series known as Scribblenauts Unmasked, is launching in North America next month.


Kotaku has published a few comments from Nintendo of America Reggie Fils-Aime regarding the 2DS, Wii U’s price drop, and fate of the Basic Set (say goodbye!). You can find them all below.
