Industry veteran is weighing up his options

The Wii U has been navigating stormy seas since its launch late last year but with new games on the horizon Nintendo will hope its new system begins to pick up some solid momentum.

One industry veteran who has always been enthusiastic about Nintendo is Warren Spector - the man behind such titles as Deus Ex and Epic Mickey.

In an interview with GameSpot, he spoke of how the industry is a better place with Nintendo in it:

    "I think we need a company that's dedicated to games. Every time I visit Nintendo, I'm relieved to have spent time in a place where you can just feel how much everyone loves games. And, really, how many times have people written Nintendo off? I think you underestimate them at your peril."

Spector most recently headed up Junction Point, which sadly closed its doors for good earlier this year. Since then he's been staying at home waiting to get bored - after all he has been working for 30 years.

    "I didn't want to go out and look for anything, but I spread the word that I'd talk to anybody who wanted to talk to me - from startup to multinational corporation. I'd listen and if the perfect thing showed up, I'd do it."

It seems that perfect opportunity hasn't come up just yet, but we could see Spector make a return pretty soon as he confirmed he is in talks with several parties:

    "I'm talking to some people and seeing how perfect the opportunities are. You may see me coming back soon. Or you may not. I’m playing it by ear."

What are your thoughts on Spector's enthusiasm for Nintendo? Let us know in the comment section below.

Yeah, that's a fact every hater conveniantly seems to forget: Nintendo was supposed to go down every single generation since the N64 and yet the are the only ones who made profit. Why should it be different this time?

Underestimate at your own peril, past the bolted door where impossible things happen that the world has never seen before.

There is gloom and Nintendoom while Wii-U go boom

In Miyamoto's LAAAABBBBB!

Even when they don't sell as many consoles they still make profit or more profit than competition. Sony and Microsoft wish they could make as much profit in the video game industry. Nintendo subscribes to a difference business model. Sure Nintendo started selling their consoles for a small loss (3DS after price cut and Wii U) but they are about to return to profitability. Sony and Microsoft can't even come close to Nintendo's profits in the video game industry.

They were doomed before they even released the NES.  Many analyst stated that they would fail entering the home video game market due to the crash that Atari caused.  That was probably the only time any doomsayer had any legit argument considering it was a risky/dead market that they were trying to enter. 

Industry analysts predicted that each year was going to be Nintendo's last good year. "Expect Atari all over again," one said in 1989. "This was their last year as a force," another said in 1990. In 1991: "A crash is imminent." But each year NOA did better and made more money. If the rate of growth wasn't as high it had been, the slowdown was viewed as a disaster. But the fact was that in spite of a maturing industry, Nintendo raked in higher profits than
most companies in any industry in any country. David Sheff, Game Over page 401

Looks like I need to pick up that book.  This guy makes Pachter sound like a clueless child.

This book is absolute must read for any Nintendo fan it's extremely good, well written it reads as exceptionally written story.

but he is lol

Am I the only one who feel Warren Spector should join Nintendo. They both share the same view of gaming. Just saying, I would like to see how Spector does with a Nintendo IP.
