Personally, I’m more interested in Wii Play: Motion, Nintendo’s other June release, over Mystery Case Files. It’s kind of strange to see Mystery Case Files returning, but I guess some of the more casual gamers might pick the title up.

Nintendo’s Matt Ryan: More Wii U details next year, third-party announcements down the road, more

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

Just as a note, I hope this isn’t the last we’ve heard of Wii U in 2010. Hopefully Iwata says something at Nintendo’s Fall conference, if there is one.

Matt Ryan from Nintendo Canada on why it seemed Nintendo focused more on hardware than games…

“While Wii U hardware was a BIG focus this year for Nintendo we also have many software titles that were emphasized at the press conference and at the show. First of all, we are celebrating The Legend of Zelda 25th anniversary and that is bringing many Zelda titles to our systems. The newest offering being The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword for Wii. Also, for Nintendo 3DS we have Super Mario, Mario Kart and Kid Icarus: Uprising coming this holiday. So we had a nice balance of hardware and software but we are quite aware that the Wii U announcement really excited fans the most in our booth.”

Ryan on if there is any worry that Nintendo will displace their current consumer base with a new console…

“Not at all. We anticipate that Wii U will make all types of gamers happy! Wii expanded the video game market and brought many new people into gaming, we expect Wii U to not only to continue this trend but to take it even further with what the new console has to offer.”

Reggie’s Jimmy Fallon appearance – Kid Icarus, Skyward Sword, Wii U

Reggie didn’t show anything on the Wii U other than the controller (and the console!), but I think Jimmy was happy just holding it in his hands. And those lucky audience members all received a copy of Ocarina of Time 3D.

Miyamoto on what devs are struggling with on 3DS, Virtual Boy on 3DS possible, much more

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

Yet another Nintendo interview for you guys to look over. The funny thing is, the second question in this interview from GameSpot was regarding Pikmin. Shigeru Miyamoto actually revealed that he’s going to be putting the franchise on Wii U instead of Wii, but this was before his roundtable.

Miyamoto on whether there has been a philosophy or a direction that Nintendo is taking in bringing titles to the 3DS…

“Well, I’m really seeing a couple of different tendencies in 3DS software, and one is that the system itself is, I think, a great system, where games that we’ve released in the past can be remade and really take on new meaning, and there are new ways to make them fun. But on the other hand, at this point, what we’re also looking at of course is creating new installments in existing franchises. And so that’s, I think, where the system is right now.”
