La Tabernilla de Wii U - Bienvenidos a donde se reúnen los rumores y las noticias

Multiplayer: So, by the end of this year, almost all of the major Nintendo franchises will have some kind of representation on the Wii U. Almost. Can we hope that in the coming months after that we'll see all of them?

Fils-Aime: You know, I think we have to be really clear on the time period that we are talking about, and we need to be really clear on the specific franchises that we are talking about. I do think though, that it's helpful to look at what we've done with Wii, and what we've done to date with Nintendo 3DS. With Wii, there was just about every Nintendo franchise brought to bear on that platform, including "Metroid," in a number of different incarnations. When you look at Nintendo 3DS, we've been able to bring back beloved Nintendo franchises like "Kid Icarus" and "Luigi's Mansion."

Nintendo is a very fortunate place, we have over 30 different franchises, and we look constantly for opportunities to bring those franchises to bear on our most current systems. I'm not making any promises, and I'm not making any commitments, but certainly we are thinking about, for Wii U and for 3DS, what are those franchises? Maybe those franchises that have been dormant for a few years, that we can loving bring to those platforms to drive our business forward.

Multiplayer: "Animal Crossing." I've written about it, I know other people have written about it, I know internally at Nintendo they've mentioned it - the experience seems to be enhanced by the downloadable, digital version of the game instead of having the cart. You don’t have to swap, and it's easier to check in on your village every day. That seems to be an extension of the StreetPass Plaza, checking in to see what's new. Can we hope to see more games that are enhanced by daily check-ins in the future?

Fils-Aime: Certainly. You're absolutely correct, that "Animal Crossing" is the type of game that you want to play certainly every day, and there are benefits to having the digital version right there on your hardware. I have to say, personally, I don’t find it a huge inconvenience to be swapping out my game cards. There are other games, "Tamagotchi Collection" in Japan, which is something that we are looking hard at for our market, that's another one that benefits from those short bursts of play, on a day-in, day-out basis.

We want to give the consumer the choice, and let them decide what's best. I have to say, I did smile quite a bit in looking at the debate by the fans of "I'm going to get it in digital, I'm going to get it in package." Great! Whatever makes you happy. We believe in working with our retail partners, in helping them understand that, for us, this is really all about helping the consumer make smart choices for them, whether they want it physically, or whether they want it digitally. Our retails are able to participate - some of them sell codes, all of them sell prepaid cards.

Hombre, como ya digo, comprendo la decepcion. Pero de aqui a final de año, la consola solo tiene un plataformas 2D (DK), y uno 3D (Mario). Incluso, si quereis contar al Luigi, que es un DLC, y al Rayman, que es multi, me salen 4 juegos del estilo.

Asi que falta de otros generos SI. Pero sobresaturacion de plataformas...., no me lo parece. En todo caso faltan juegos de este tipo en las otras..., segun mi criterio claro, XD.
