Iwata further teases Nintendo’s GamePad-focused titles for E3, developed under Miyamoto’s guidance
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 79 Comments
During the Q&A portion of Nintendo’s latest financial results briefing, president Satoru Iwata further teased the GamePad-focused titles the company will be bringing to E3 2014 next month.
There will be “multiple games”, Iwata said, “that are designed to introduce players to the value of the Wii U Game Pad by demonstrating playstyles only possible because of it.” Each one of these projects have been developed internally under Shigeru Miyamoto’s guidance.
Fans can expect a mix of games that are nearing completion to ones early in creation. Ultimately, Nintendo intends to “demonstrate the titles’ core appeals.”
Check out the rough translation of Iwata’s comments below.
