Nintendo Eager to Continue Console Business

Nintendo Eager to Continue Console Business on Nintendo gaming news, videos and discussion

During a meeting with investors, Nintendo boss Satoru Iwata was once again quizzed about the NX console.

The company are keeping tight-lipped on plans for future hardware and software, but Iwata felt it was necessary to "communicate that Nintendo is not pessimistic about the future of the dedicated game system business but rather more and more eager to continue it."

That said, Iwata wants to hold these details till nearer the time of release as "the entertainment business has an aspect where there is value in surprising consumers."

The Nintendo boss believes that the company needs to show players "how the magic works," rather than simply describing how it works.

Going forward, Nintendo will be "making various considerations and preparations in order to avoid what happened with the previous generations."

Do you think Nintendo can avoid mistakes with the NX?

I hope they never stop making dedicated systems.

Rumours keep bending more and more towards what I've been saying they'd do. We keep hearing about a hybrid of a home system and handheld, with possibly the option of having the NX act as one or the other, or both at the same time. In my opinion, a decision so as to focus all their attention on developing for only one system that would battle on both fronts at the same time, home and handheld, alleviating some of their problems of lack of human resources since they started developing HD-level of detail games, as well as reducing their production costs drastically from not having to manufacture two drastically differently designed systems at the same time... as as the cost of R&D too! This makes sense as it goes in line with how they merged their home console and handheld console design facilities some time ago already. Enough time perhaps to already have much of the blueprints of the NX project laid out?
