Forums - Nintendo - Iwata on Nintendo's current state and more.

Indeed.

" In particular with Wii, for example, the challenge with start-up time when changing channels, or the current situation where we cannot automatically turn on Wii, turn on the television and change the input mode in the event that Wii receives a message, have led to challenges where we had difficulty having the users use Wii in the way we had intended. I don't think that the concept was a mistake, but I think that Wii has yet to fulfill these concepts."

This part here, i think he is referring to the option where, while playing 3DS, you press the Home button and you get instant access to messages. Maybe this was his vision for Wii that never took place. So, i`m prety sure Wii2 will have the Home button again and it`ll at least produce the same effect as the 3DS. And, seeing as the remote will have a screen, probably what will happen is that we acess that service through the remote instead of turning on the console. That`s actually pretty good if it ends up being this way!



Around the Network

However, I think that, over the past three or four years, the presence of Japanese software developers has become relatively small. Nintendo is doing what overseas software developers do not do, so Nintendo's software is selling relatively well also in foreign countries, but for the software oriented to enthusiastic game players, such as "Call of Duty," the ones created by overseas developers are more mainstream in the overseas markets. In addition, because the expressions in games are becoming more and more photo-realistic, I imagine that the cultural differences in acceptance have started to be reflected more clearly. I think this is the reason why western users tend to prefer software created overseas than software from Japanese software developers.
