Ninja Gaiden III director Yosuke Hayashi is very much a supporter of Wii U. In an interview with the Official Nintendo Magazine, Hayashi noted that the GamePad and hardware “could get many people to pay attention to console games once again.”

“The biggest difference compared to other Nintendo hardware released until now is that it is not trying to complete with ‘only one’ feature. Obviously, the Wii U GamePad is a huge feature, but the Wii U isn’t only about that. There’s the hardware performance, network capabilities and, of course, the titles that fully utilise these aspects. From this all-encompassing gaming abilitity I get the impression that this hardware could get many people to pay attention to console games once again.”

Hayashi went on to discuss Miiverse, which he believes “has the potential to become a kind of virtual amusement park for game fans.” On a personal note, he’s excited about the feature.

“The biggest change of direction from the Wii would be the Miiverse. It’s usually introduced as a social networking tool, but I feel it has the potential to become a kind of virtual amusement park for game fans. With SNS [Social Networking Sites] making a lot of unique advancements, as a gamer, I am excited to see how the Miiverse will grow within the realm of console games.”

Grid 2 not ruled out for Wii U, same goes for other Codemasters games

Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments

At the moment, Grid 2 isn’t heading to Wii U. Codemasters actually doesn’t have any titles in the works for the console that we know about.

That being said, the company is leaving the door ajar for future possibilities.

Grid 2 associate producer Iain Smith told Joystiq that “there’s every opportunity at some point down the line” of a Wii U version. He added that other Codemasters games aren’t being ruled out for the system either.

Smith stated:

“It’s not being ruled out certainly. And certainly [that applies] across all Codemasters titles. Some platforms are more appropriate for certain types of games, but we just have to make decisions as and when they’re appropriate. We can’t say too much more at the moment.”
