Forums - Nintendo - Reggie answers a ton of questions - are there new I.P.s coming?

Reggie answers a ton of questions - Is Reggie a core or casual gamer, are there new I.P.s coming, has Nintendo’s quality dropped?

A portion of a user-submitted GameDaily interview to Reggie Fils-Aime…

GD: Is Nintendo interested in developing many new IPs currently? And if so, are they interested in expanding to other genres and perhaps even more Mature games, not just in language and violence but in themes similar to games like Hotel Dusk?

RFA: We’re always developing new games and experiences and part of that includes looking at whether it makes sense to create new franchises and new characters. Some gamers want completely new games, while others want another Mario or Zelda game the minute they finish playing the one that just came out. Striking that balance keeps us all very busy! Nintendo makes games for everyone, so you’ll find everything from E-rated to M-rated titles. I’m glad you enjoyed Hotel Dusk: Room 215. It flew a bit under the radar when it was released, but it’s a different kind of game and I’ve heard from a lot of people who really enjoyed it.

GD: Would you say you’re more “hardcore” or “casual”?

RFA: The labeling of “core” and “casual” implies one is better than the other and just builds more divisions between people. I’m a game player. We’re all game players. If I had to classify myself into a category, I’d say I’m a competitive game player. I’m going to do my best to knock your kart off the track in Mario Kart DS, crush you at tennis in Wii Sports, head more soccer balls than you in Wii Fit, pay off my mortgage before you do in Animal Crossing: City Folk and out-strategize you in Advance Wars: Days of Ruin.

Actually, Reggie answers a deca questions.

 

Also, what title does Reggie look forward to the most? The Conduit!

10. Which upcoming game on the Wii are you the most excited about?

I'll give you two. First, I am looking forward to The Conduit. I enjoy shooters, but have not been very good once the dual stick controllers came out. I loved the targeting ease of Metroid Prime 3, so I feel I'm "back in the game" with shooting games. I had a chance to try out The Conduit during our Fall Media Summit and came away really impressed. I know that team has continued to work very hard on the game, so I'm really excited to try out the finished version.

The second game I'm looking forward to is the "Enhanced for Wii" Pikmin. I love that game, and the new controls make it even more fun. The game is now even more intuitive ... just point and throw the Pikmin where you want! It's a blast!

Hear hear!

4. There seems to be a big discrepancy between Nintendo Company Ltd. in Japan and Nintendo of America in terms of content for the Wii, from Wii channels to games that only have been released in Japan. What is Nintendo of America doing to resolve that divide? Is Nintendo of America diverting its own resources to create its own identity and develop games that resonate with Western audiences, much in the same way certain games may not be localized outside of Japan because it is perceived to only resonate with a Japanese audience?

 

Different games are appropriate for different audiences...That sometimes means niche titles don't always make it but it also ensures that we are getting the best content.

Boo! Hiss! Other angry "I want Fatal Frame IV" noises!

"Pay off my mortgage before you do in Animal Crossing"
That's pretty dang competitive! But I can see that.



Okami

To lavish praise upon this title, the assumption of a common plateau between player and game must be made.  I won't open my unworthy mouth.

Interesting interview. I'm surprised that he responded to as many questions that had negative things to say as he did. He probably didn't have to answer those questions if he didn't want to.



Heavens to Murgatoids.

That was a good interview. You think reggie was able to help the devs of conduit get a good online system? Since he is excited about it I hope so.

is it just me was the interviewer a bit of an asshole???

The question about the quality was JUST STUPID. Did he not play MKWii, Brawl and SMG released in the last year. The only thing they can complain about it AC:CF, and maybe Wiimusic (but that is just about whether or not u did that stuff)



End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)

Wii- 72 million   3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases

360- 37 million   Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak

PS3- 29 million  Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut

 Actually, the reviewer being a bit offensive oftenly helps, and it definitely did here. I think he was better than most reviewers, as he pushed Reggie into giving an answer.
