Why Nintendo is introducing Wii U to the world
Reggie Fils-Aime has commented on why Nintendo is introducing a new console to the gaming world. The Nintendo executive told Kotaku that the company readies new hardware when developers begin to create ideas that can’t be realized on existing platforms. Interestingly, Fils-Aime told the publication that teams were actually creating ideas involving two-screens.
“The way we approach hardware development is that when there are experiences that our internal development teams bring to bear that can’t be executed with the current systems, that’s a signal to us that it’s time for exploration of new systems. And, Stephen, specifically in this case, our development teams were bringing forward two-screen ideas, two-separate-screen ideas. Ideas that leveraged the big 10-feet-away interface and the one-foot-away smaller-screen interface. That was the signal for not only a new system but one that took advantage of two separate screens.”
