Nintendo UK says downloadable games and services will aid Wii U launch
Nintendo has been talking about the 3DS’ launch mistakes for months on end now. The company has also explained how it’ll be avoiding similar issues with Wii U.
Nintendo UK boss David Yarnton has once again commented on what will be done to make the console’s debut smoother, which includes the day-one availability of downloadable games as well as Netflix and Amazon services.
Yarton said:
“One of the problems with 3DS was content. When we launched we didn’t have the content we do now, or the functionality for download games either. We do have that now, and did get there a few months after launch.
“But with the Wii U, we had 23 games on show at E3, plus Netflix and Amazon and other services all hopefully for launch – it’s a great value proposition.”
Yarton wasn’t willing to discuss Wii U’s pricing yet, but Nintendo does “have a cost we have to hit to get our money back”.
