Satoru Iwata, de grote baas van Nintendo, wilde zich tijdens de E3 focussen op ‘fans die informatie willen over traditionele games’. Hierdoor kregen we nieuws rondom bestaande franchises zoals Mario Kart, Smash Bros en Mario. Een echte verrassing was het niet. Nintendo is van plan om dit goed te maken.
Iwata heeft aan de investeerders laten weten dat er nog enkele ‘gloednieuwe typen games’ in ontwikkeling zijn. Deze zullen vlak voor de release onthuld worden om de impact er van te vergroten.
When it comes to brand-new types of games, we have to announce them not too far in advance of the actual release dates in order to have a strong impact in the market and minimize the chance of others introducing similar or competing products. We are working on new types of games, but we would like to announce them much closer to their actual release timings for this reason.
When it comes to Wii, as ‘Wii Sports’ spread throughout the world at a sensational speed, some misunderstood that all Wii could do is enable them to play games by moving the Wii Remote. With Wii U, therefore, we planned to satisfy existing video game fans first and provide new surprises later.
