Forums - Nintendo - Iwata talks about hardware: No WiiHD clarifies new DS

alfredofroylan on 01 February 2010

Iwata has something hidding behind the desk:

The new DS article

In early January, Asahi reported Iwata as having stating that a DS followup system would need to have high resolution image support and a system in place for detecting player motions. This, according to Iwata, is not actually what he said. According to Iwata, the reporter conducting the interview asked "The next DS will need to have high resolution graphics and include a motion sensor, wouldn't you say?" Iwata's response was, "Those are naturally considered requirements. However, do you believe it will sell with just this?"

Wii HD

Said Iwata on the updated Wii: "If asked if making the Wii compatible with high definition -- just making it compatible with high resolution -- will get players throughout the world to buy it, I would of course say, 'Do you think it would sell with just that? Let's put something new in it."

Competitors

Iwata finished up his response about new hardware with: "If there were no rival makers in the world, I'd could give examples of the things that we are considering. However, for competitive reasons, I cannot give specifics today on the what or when of the things we're considering."

Do interviewers ever think to ask something other than those questions? How many times has he told us these things? Surely they can think of something new to ask...



A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

Aye. The media really needs to have something special in mind when asking Nintendo, stuff that they know they at least have half a shot at being answered.
