As expected, Nintendo won’t have anything new to show for Wii U at CES 2012. As was the case with the 3DS earlier this year, the system will be shown behind closed doors to media members who missed out on experiencing the console at E3. The company will not have a booth at CES.

Nintendo said in a statement:

“Nintendo of America, working with the 2012 International CES management, will offer demos of the upcoming Wii U console to members of the media who did not see the system at the 2011 E3 Expo. However, Nintendo will not have a booth at CES, nor does it plan to include any games, experiences or information beyond what was available at the 2011 E3 Expo. Production and development efforts remain on track for the Wii U launch, which will take place between the start of the 2012 E3 Expo in June, and the end of 2012.”

We’ve known for some time that Wii U will see a proper information blowout at E3 2012. Maybe we’ll get a nugget or two during GDC, but there’s a good chance that Nintendo will remain quiet until June.

For the most part, Nintendo has been absent from CES. That’ll be changing this year, however.

CNET has said that the Wii U will be available for hands-on time next month. I wouldn’t expect a whole lot of new details or game announcements, but we might be able to see more demo footage of “experiences” shown at E3 2011.

Dragon Quest X producer Yosuke Saito and director Jin Fujizawa shared a little bit of new Dragon Quest X information during an event at Jump Festa.

First, the two said that more jobs will be added to the game once the game launches. Dragon Quest X will initially feature six already-announced jobs. New jobs could include ones that wouldn’t be expected in the series.

Saito also commented on the differences between the Wii and Wii U versions. He said that you and a friend will be able to play together if you have two systems. Saito stated that “The Wii version is totally fun! The Wii U version is totally fun! And it’s also extremely beautiful.”

Finally, Saito hinted that that a beta test will kick off on Valentines Day (February 14) or White Day (March 14). Specifically, he said that it will take place around the “time period of chocolate.”

Shigeru Miyamoto has answered a bunch of questions in a new interview with Wired. One of the more interesting points from the discussion is that he expressed willingness to let Retro Studios collaborate with Nintendo on Zelda. He talks about Mario 3D Land, Skyward Sword, a little bit about Wii U, and a bunch of other topics.

All of Miyamoto’s comments can be found after the break.
