Yuji Naka excited to see what Nintendo has in store with Wii U
Count Yuji Naka as one of Wii U’s early supporters. Naka hasn’t said if he’s working on a project for the platform, but he’s “really looking forward to seeing what Nintendo has in store”.
Naka told GamesIndustry:
“I always get very excited when thinking about the next round of next-gen hardware that’s coming and what kind of unimaginable specs they could have. Wii U is taking a completely new and innovative approach, so I’m really looking forward to seeing what Nintendo has in store there.”
Yuji Naka was the head of SEGA’s Sonic Team and one of the original developers of Sonic the Hedgehog. He’s since moved on to form his own studio, Prope.
We’re still waiting to see one of Prope’s more promising games on the market. Rodea the Sky Soldier, originally announced for Wii and 3DS, still hasn’t seen release. One can’t help but wonder if the title could end up on Wii U.
