This information comes from art director Matt Corso…

“It won’t end with the Wii. We’re going to be around for a long time. Hopefully. That’s up for the fans to decide.”

The Conduit franchise has a pretty solid fanbase, so I think we’ll see the series move on to other platforms in the future. Plus, there have been a lot of hints that we’ll see a game on the 3DS…

Iwata’s response to an opinion that people will expect less from home consoles in the future…

“The question was if the value (created by home consoles) or ‘the rich experiences which could be realized only by home console video game systems’ have changed. Until recently, it was true that the focus had been placed significantly on the ‘rich experiences’ which were available because of such advantages as it could use the home electricity and, accordingly, home consoles have less restrictions in terms of power consumption, unlike portable devices which require batteries to operate, and that large and dynamic graphics can be created for the large monitor screens. But are these ‘rich experiences’ the only unique characteristics which could be realized solely by home console video games in the first place?

If such ‘rich experiences’ were actually the only uniqueness, home consoles would lose their meaning when battery-operated portable devices become capable of reproducing similar rich experiences. On the contrary, and this is something which started to be discussed when Wii made its debut in 2006, bigger screen TVs were entering our living rooms around that time, which enabled people to use their living rooms for a more broad range of purposes. More specifically, living rooms had morphed into play areas where people could move their bodies. This is one of the unique entertainment features that home console systems, not handheld devices, were able to realize.

February isn’t a huge month for new games, but whether you’re interested in Dragon Quest or de Blob, you should take a glance through this month’s most notable Nintendo releases; there might be something that appeals to you. Heck, you might even find something to give as a Valentine’s Day present (NintendoEverything.com accepts no responsibility for failed relationships due to gifts of Mario Sports Mix).
