Microsoft began manufacturing the Xbox 360 in Brazil back in 2011. And last month, Sony announced that it would be doing the same for the PlayStation 3.

Nintendo now appears to be looking into evaluating similar for the Wii U. Speaking with Portuguese publication G1, company president Satoru Iwata confirmed that Nintendo is looking into manufacturing Wii U units in Brazil.

He said:

“The social structure of Brazil today is important to think about assembling or manufacturing in the country. We understand the importance of it. What I can say is that we are evaluating and studying the possibility of manufacturing the Wii U in Brazil, but we have nothing to announce right now.”

Iwata also apologized for not releasing the system in Brazil yet. A release is targeted for late 2013.

“Nintendo recognizes the importance of Brazil and its market, and for us [Brazil] is among the 10 markets with the greatest potential in the world. Sorry for not having launched the machine in Brazil for a number of reasons. Our forecast is to launch in late 2013.”

Thanks to lmalafaia for the tip.

A few more comments from Super Smash Bros. director Masahiro Sakurai have popped up through a GameSpot interview, and you can find them below.

Sakurai’s latest remarks are more general – talk about the overall Smash Bros. series, the fighting genre, and more. We do get a couple of nuggets about the Wii U/3DS games though, like customization and their speed.

David Wise hasn’t worked with Nintendo in a few years. And it’s been a really long time he contributed to a Donkey Kong Country game. So you might be wondering, how’d Nintendo get Wise on board for Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze?

Producer Kensuke Tanabe explained:

“I worked with David, many, many years ago, and have stayed in contact ever since. He’s actually a friend of mine. So, as we approached this particular project, he became available.”

“So I picked up the phone and said ‘Hey David! You have some time? Would you like to help us out with Tropical Freeze?’ And he jumped at the chance. It was a coincidence that he was available at the time… he wasn’t prior [for Donkey Kong Country Returns] and we couldn’t be happier.”

Tropical Freeze’s music will be completely original, but Tanabe teased: “Yet, there will be some familiarities… you can hear that it is David Wise.”
