Kadokawa director ponders Wii U’s chances for future success
Kadokawa director Hirokazu Hamamura, who is also Enterbrain president and former editor-in-chief of Famitsu, commented on Wii U’s chances to be resurrected in an interview with Mainichi Shinbun.
Hamamura noted that Nintendo may have a shot to turn things around with “killer content”. He did, however, explain that producing many games for both Wii U and 3DS is a difficult task.
Hamamura’s comments in full:
Associating the growth of smartphones and the slump of the Wii U is difficult. Two years ago the handheld 3DS was called a failure, and then it bounced back. Of course they are in competition to keep a hold on the users’ time. It can be boosted if killer content is released. However developing a lot of games for both the Wii U and the 3DS is difficult… That’s a fact.
