Can Nintendo compete with Halo 3: ODST and Modern Warfare 2?

Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 16 Comments

Although Nintendo has two significant releases for the remainder of the year, the titles couldn’t be any more different. Wii Fit Plus is a clear casual experience while New Super Mario Bros. Wii contains classic platforming. But does Nintendo believe they can compete against the likes of Halo 3: ODST and Modern Warfare 2? Reggie Fils-Aime, President and COO of Nintendo of America, explained when he was asked about that very question in an interview.

“We’re selling both to the gamer who grew up playing Nintendo, who grew up playing Metroid, who is playing those games, maybe has a second console in the house. Speaking not only to those consumers, but also speaking to a much wider audience. So for us, it’s core and more, right? It’s both that heavy playing consumer today as well as a much larger opportunity.”

5th Cell talks about future plans – Wii title in development

Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News, Wii | 0 comments

“Yeah, we’re doing console. We’re getting into console. We’re not abandoning DS in the sense that we’ll never do it again, but for right now we’re moving into console. That’s where we always started [our] company. I started the company six years ago with our Technical Director, and Joe our General Manager, so we’re doing console next year and it will be original. We always do original stuff. You won’t see licensed stuff. I mean you might see licensed stuff in the sense like a Mario game that’s original or something like that. We’re not doing that, but I’m just saying I would. I would do that, but not like a movie license or something dumb. I like how Bioware did the Star Wars RPG, it wasn’t like ‘Oh we’re just making a Star Wars game. No, we’re taking the license and making something really awesome with it.’ That’s (Wii) one of the consoles. We’re actually working on multiple consoles. There’s multiple titles…Yes (multiple titles), and Wii is one of them.” – Jeremiah Slaczka of 5th Cell

I honestly can’t wait to see what 5th Cell has in store for consoles. I’m saddened that they’re putting the DS on the back burner temporarily, but based on previous 5th Cell titles I’ve played, I’m sure the company has a few unique ideas for the projects they are currently busy with.
