IGN has posted the images above on their website along with an article comparing Nintendo of America’s localization history with Nintendo of Europe’s record. It’s interesting to see which titles have been brought over to each region. I actually wasn’t aware that Dolphin the Giant made it to Europe!

Iwata says Wii U will appeal more towards the hardcore, EA partnership talk, Wii sales not a concern… yet

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

Satoru Iwata on how the Wii U will better appeal to hardcore gamers compared to Wii…

“When we considered what to do with the graphics capability of the Wii, we put more attention and focus on the ability to create new experiences rather than the quality of the graphics. For popular genres in the Western world such as the shooter games, the picture quality is actually very important. And as a result, we have not been able to provide hardcore video game players with the option they really want with the Wii. That sort of picture-processing issue is going to be solved this time around.

Nintendo explains Wii game droughts, working with third-parties to develop games, more

Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii, Wii U | 0 comments

Unfortunately, the Wii has suffered from a number of “droughts” throughout its lifecycle. One such drought was in 2009 for Japan, when there just weren’t many games to play. Nintendo president Satoru Iwata told investors last week that this was a result of the unpredictable nature of development and lack of support from third-parties:

I would like to explain about it in an organized way. First, in the first half of 2009, when the Wii lost its momentum, we could not offer new titles for a certain period of time. We ourselves have to reflect on this situation. We usually plan to release software in a way like, first we release this, then this and then that. But the development does not always proceed as it is planned. For example, if we feel that certain software will end up being boring if we continue to develop it in the same way, we will have to polish it. We sometimes change the content substantially, and in that case, the date of the release schedule has to be significantly changed.
