Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments
A common topic came up continuously during the Q&A session of Nintendo’s recent financial results briefing: Wii U game delays.
Iwata first commented specifically about games that will finally release starting with Pikmin 3. Its arrival will mark the start of new and significant first-party software releases for Wii U. However, Iwata explained that delays of first-party titles was necessary, otherwise “The brand of a franchise would be completely degraded without customer satisfaction.”

Nintendo’s Hiro Yamada is currently supervising Monster Games on the development of Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D. However, he’s also in the know when it comes to Retro Studios’ new game for Wii U.
Fans want to know: what the heck is the Metroid Prime creator working on? Yamada wouldn’t divulge any details when asked by ONM, but did tease that he hopes to “introduce it to you in the not so distant future.”
“I wonder what kind of game it is? I hope to introduce it to you in the not so distant future.”
Nintendo won’t be holding a press conference at this year’s E3, but the publisher still intends to show games at the show. Perhaps Retro’s new project will be one of them?
