Information Update - Nintendo Wii U


1.- Shigeru Miyamoto has revealed that Nintendo’s forthcoming Wii U console won’t be that much more powerful than existing consoles on the market, such as Sony’s PlayStation 3 and Microsoft’s Xbox 360.

The reasoning behind this is due to cost, as Nintendo want to make a machine that powerful, yet affordable to consumers. Has Nintendo made a mistake doing this, or is this the logical thing to do?

“We’re trying to do that by finding the right balance between the CPU and the GPU, the graphics processor, and bringing all of that together with the ability to take advantage of the HD capabilities of the system, and wanting to do the most that we can on that front as well.

“We’re very sensitive, of course, to trying to do all of this at an appropriate price. So I don’t know that we would be able to sit here and say that it’s going to necessarily dramatically outperform the systems that are out now. It’s part of the balance that we strike in terms of trying to find entertainment that is new and unique.”

2.- Shigeru Miyamoto has revealed that the idea behind the Wii U’s unique tablet controller wasn’t inspired by Apples immensely popular iPad. According to Miyamoto Nintendo had been working on the concept of a tablet controller for ‘several years’. Apparently it took the company by surprise when the whole tablet boom started, as it happened just before Nintendo were getting ready to show the device to the public.

When asked by Gamespot whether Apple’s tablet had influenced the design of the Wii U, Miyamoto responded with a definite “no”.

“Actually it was coincidental, because even at this point last year at E3, we had done a lot of work on this, and it was pretty far along, and we had been working on the concept for several years,” he said.

“We felt it was kind of a funny coincidence that, while we had been working on this, all of a sudden right as we’re getting ready to bring it to the public, there’s this tablet boom.

La razón es el coste, pues Nitnendo quiere hacer plataformas divertidas y potentes, pero que no sean demasiado caras. ¿Han hecho lo correcto?

“Estamos intentando lograrlo mediante el balance entre el CPU y la GPU, el procesador gráfico y la capabilidad de jugar en Full HD, y conseguir, conteniendo la experiencia 3D, la misma experiencia.

“Somos muy sensibles, siempre intentando hacerlo todo al precio correcto. Así que no veo el por qué tenemos que sentarnos aquí y decir que nuestro sistema es dramáticamente más potente que los otros. Es único y nuevo.”
