Nintento Out Of Ideas For The Wii

Nintendo President, Satoru Iwata, has said in an interview published in the Wall Street Journal that they have exhausted all of their original ideas for the Wi and are unsure of the extent of their ongoing development for the console.

It seems that the plans for the Wii world domination had been drawn up from the very beginning, with Miyamoto plotting out the current slew of accessories. "Most of the ideas for accessories that we had initially come up with are out now. We might think up some more, and we might make them if we do, but we don't have any plans to release a whole lot more," said Iwata.

The sin will punish itself.

*Translation*

If you were stupid enough to buy an Wii then congratz to your money wasted.

--Onilink--5747d ago

wow, how bad are you at actually reading what they say and just go on by the header, it say the have already released all of their ORIGINAL ideas, that means they released all that they 1st tought. That hardly means that they wont come up with anything new.

I doubt sony and microsoft have planed their ideas for the next 7 years or so...

learn how to read people....

mfwahwah5747d ago

It sounds to me like they just want to push out more peripherals now that they've put out all of the ones they had.

I think they should focus on something else, but sadly, it's not up to me, the consumer to decide that.

but fads usually don't last long.

end sarcasm

<<<starting to regret buying his Wii. any1 else feel the same?

poopsack5748d ago

in the process of selling mine. will buy another in a couple of years.

SmokingMonkey5748d ago

of all my virtual console games that i've boughten. I have so many classics on there i feel like i wont get my monies worth if i sell the thing, guess i'm stuck with it. can't be all bad, there has to be some good games coming out (tenchu4, next zelda)

BlaST_ProCesSiNG-5748d ago

Might sell mine during the Holiday season when the soccer moms get real desperate... :p

Alexander Roy5748d ago

Would have sold mine long ago, if I would have finished No More Heroes yet. Besides, there is that other game from SEGA (MadWorld?) that I think looks interesting. There were only 3 games I fully enjoyed yet on the Wii: Twilight Princess, Super Paper Mario and No More Heroes. The rest, well, didn't really float my boat.

mfwahwah5747d ago

I'm starting to thank myself for not buying a Wii after enjoying Wii Sports at a friend's house. That would have been one Hell of an impulse buy to regret.

They should start making good games for the old fans instead of stupid new accessories.

mistertwoturbo5748d ago

yeah how bout a crazy new StarFox with super mario galaxy graphics or something.

That is one bad thing about going for the casuals. Casuals just want cheap and fun, they aren't brand loyal.
Whatever bad things you say about Fanboys, they are at least loyal.

I was a massive Nintendo fanboy, and even though I've been let down by the Wii, I still follow Wii articles in the hope that Nintendo brings out a new decent machine in the future or a new Zelda or Mario.

Voiceofreason5747d ago (Edited 5747d ago )

@below, you are at a site dominated by Sony fans. Things like reading the article would only get in the way of their blind hate of a console they dont own.

Blank10175747d ago

Ok Mad Jedi, I'll give it a shot.

His comments (FROM THE ACTUAL WSJ ARTICLE) are in regards to accessories only. He is not saying that they are out of ideas for the Wii all together.

I have no problem with them ending their run of accessories. I love the Wii, but at this point if you can't come up with some good games with the wiimote, nunchuk, classic controller, gamecube controller, Dance Mats, WiiFit board, 1:1 tracking, fake drums and guitars and a steering wheel then maybe it is time to hang it up.

I mean jeez, at least give us like super mario rock band. you can use the drums and guitar for the band, you could have back up dancers on the dance mats, the roadies could unload and set up the stuff with the fitboard and 1:1 and you can even drive the tour bus with the steering wheel!

--Onilink--5747d ago

Dude they already released Galaxy, Twilight, Metroid, Paper Mario, Mario Strikers, Fire Emblem, Battallion Wars, Smash Bros, Mario Kart, etc in less than 2 years... it actually takes time to develop a game

Zelda Replay: Majora's Mask

VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Is Ocarina of Time as legendary as I remembered it? For the most part, yes. In spite of a handful of missteps — a few obtuse puzzles, some tedious backtracking, and a clunky stealth sequence — I don't believe the last 23 years have been unkind to it. Ocarina remains a brilliant example of the medium, a landmark game that shaped the future of its own franchise and 3D gaming in general. After more than two decades it retains its inventive dungeon design, challenging puzzles, dynamic combat, wistful storyline, unforgettable music, and empowering open-air freedom. I feel confident calling it one of the greatest games of the fifth generation, even if I'm no longer prepared to list it among the five best games ever made."

Pure unadulterated fun. They don't make them like this anymore...especially not the triple A industry.

FinalFantasyFanatic1d 2h ago

Back when video rental was a thing, I rented out Majoria's Mask, I never finished it though. I did buy the 3DS version before the eshop shutdown, so maybe one day I'll finally play through the whole thing, it's amazing how well these games hold up though. I briefly played Ocarina of Time for a while and it was really fun.

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos5d ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Tacoboto5d ago

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

banger885d ago

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

ChasterMies4d ago

Trevor in GTA 6 is a sadist and psychopath who dabbles in cannibalism. Should be top of the list. These game “news” sites should hire people that know games.

Strange headline, as I thought the star of the show was Super RType. I almost bought RType Dimensions EX this last month and was just thinking, man I wish we had the SNES one somewhere on Switch. That's where I got my start w the series and I was beyond excited to see it drop this week!
