Good. I think it's safe to say that NX won't be BC with Wii U then...but wait...Iwata said NX will absorb Wii U's architecture! Something isn't adding up. Still, I want the NX to have NOTHING to do with anything Wii. Start new Nintendo. Give us a solid console and let the games speak over the gimmicks. I mean, gimmicks are cool but not all the time.

Later on he also said they're starting from zero. This could indicate that they not using Wii U architecture.
It seems that the more we learn about this device the more we don't know what it is lol. We really just need to wait it out until the official reveal is made.

Maybe Wii U VC.
So apparently they filed this patent for cloud gaming or setting like that https://register.epo.org/application?number=EP11183536

(It is) a next step in our dedicated device strategy, the core and primary focus of our business.” “As far as NX goes, I’ve said it’s different and obviously a new experience. If you look back to the beginning of our conversation today, we talked about the transition from Wii hardware to the Wii U hardware and how difficult it is to explain to the consumer base what is different and new about the new hardware. It’s difficult to convince them to switch from their current platform to the next platform. That being said, I can assure you we’re not building the next version of Wii or Wii U. It’s something unique and different. It’s something where we have to move away from those platforms in order to make it something that will appeal to our consumer base.” “As for the codename NX, I don’t believe that there’s any real meaning behind it, and to be perfectly honest, I don’t know where it came from. Or perhaps Mr. Iwata had meant to tell me and then never got the chance.” That last bit is sad... Either way, NX is still succeeding at being an interesting point of discussion. |
Holy shit that is so lame! I tell you what would have made it a helluva lot easier to explain the move from Wii to Wii U: if you hadn;' been cute by putting a U there and just called it Wii 2!!! Everyone understands numbers and they know that [insert name] 2 is an entirely new and improved product to [insert name] original.
Also, what are they defining as their consumer base? Arguably Wii U is only appealing to their consumer base, so what they need to do is put something out there that appeals well beyond their consumer base. Are they taking aim again at the people who aren't really gamers but who got swept up in the Wii craze? Is that really fertile ground again? I suppose it could be with the right product and the right marketing. At least this time around those people are somewhat more primed and well disposed to buying a video game product, and maybe after a several years break they have an itch they want to scratch again. Or are they going to try to go for the PS/Xb/PC gamer and try to convince them that Nintendo is the place to be? I'm not sure which is the harder sell actually. But I do think if Nintendo can get the major 3rd party franchises onboard, and the product can deliver a better experience for those 3rd party franchises, then it can possibly eat into that market.

The interesting point in that quote is where he said they have to move away from Wii branding in order to appeal to their consumer base. To me, that says he's moving away from casual gamers because Wii is the poster child of casual gaming as we know it. Both Wii and Wii-U were conceived to be a casual experience, even though Wii-U ended up failing in that area. So, this could be a good sign imo for those of us who are hoping for an HD N64.

Emulation is a possibility but I don't think we'll see proper Wii U emulation on NX. I think the fact that Iwata said they were starting from Zero, basically eliminates all thought of the Wii brand transferring to NX.

The "adding architecture" is a misundertood quote. What Iwata wanted to say it's that they are not going to throw away all the work done on the Wii U, and will absorb in a possible way. In other words, the knowledge and maybe some assets done in this gen will be useful in the next one and they won't need to start from zero once again.
Also, it was intended, not for sure. If they go a for a new, easier architecture, for sure they will forget about the one on the Wii U.

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor
Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile
The wii u is currently my favorite of the new consoles, but they'd be wise to distance themselves from it at this point.
