Nintendo needs something a helluva lot bigger than that if they want to sell systems here. That's like bringing a plastic butter knife to a gun fight.
Iwata even mentioned it in one of the investor briefings that with increasing graphical prowess, Japanese games are getting harder to sell to American consumers because the differences in design/look really become more apparent with better graphics (ie: Final Fantasy's J-Pop boy band/spikey hair characters vs. a Western RPG like Mass Effect).
I think that's a problem. They gotta go back to investing more in Western studio development like they did in the 1990s and early 2000s.
