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.
Nintendo issues yet another statement/apology about lack of same-sex relationships in Tomodachi Life
Some gamers have expressed continued dissatisfaction about the lack of same-sex relationships in Tomodachi Life. As such, Nintendo issued another statement about the situation today.
The company apologized to those who are disappointed about the lack of same-sex relationships in the 3DS title. This functionality would not be possible if Nintendo were to develop a post-ship patch. If there were to be another Tomodachi entry in the future, “we will strive to design a game-play experience from the ground up that is more inclusive, and better represents all players.”
