Iwata talks Wii faults and fixing issues with Wii U, third-parties advancing shooter genre

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

Satoru Iwata has admitted two significant faults with the Wii. First, he acknowledged that the console wasn’t able to meet the needs of hardcore gamers. And, second, Iwata noted that Nintendo wasn’t able to provide an experience that consumers could view on an HD television.

This was in response to a comment posed to the Nintendo president that the Wii U appears to be appealing more to hardcore gamer and first-person shooters. He explained that, this time around, the Wii U is HD ready and that it should be “be as powerful as any other console”. Also noteworthy, Iwata said that third-party publishers have been open to advancing the shooter genre thanks to the new controller.

Iwata’s full response:

In the case of the original Wii, our intent was to extend the gaming population, but of course we needed to think about how we were going to motivate non-gamers to play with video games, so we came up with Wii Sports and Wii Fit, as well as how the Wii system was designed.
For example, in the case of our products, approximately 50 percent of our users are a female audience, the other platforms are around 30 percent.
