Nintendo's president talks about regaining the Wii U's 'momentum', handheld versus mobile gaming and a new, original Zelda.
At the heart of Iwata’s tenure at Nintendo was a philosophy of listening.
In 2015, Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata sadly passed away. Dear friend and EarthBound creator Shigesato Itoi compiled his musings as a tribute.
Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa recently sat down with Nikkei to discuss his approach to leading the company through the current Switch era, as well as what influences past presidents like Satoru Iwata and Hiroshi Yamauchi had on him.
nothing wrong with him per say but he just feels kinda lifeless compared to Iwata and lacks the tough guy almost Yakuza vibe Yamauchi gave off
This guy is a penny pincher and has no love of gaming. It is obvious in the half assed ports he is pushing. Iwata we miss you.
Pikmin3, Donkey Kong, 3D Mario World, Mario Kart 8, Legend of Zelda U, Super Smash Brothers.
These WILL sell Wii U's..... Millions of them.
Each of the games I listed will sell AT LEAST 500,000 copies in the first year alone.
Titles like Mario Kart8, Super Smash & Zelda will sell 3+ million each no problem.
2014 is when Wii U picks up. Actually more likely this holiday but after that it will sell quite well.
Just surprise me Nintendo, keep your plans.
Announce a wiiu+
Give it twice power of ps4.
Launch with Zelda & Metriod.....with graphics and online that destroys competition.
Sell for $399....accept the hit while regaining market share.
