1.- Nintendo of America PR director Mark Franklin was asked by GiantBomb whether or not the new controller has a name. Franklin stated that ”right now, we’re just calling it the new controller.
More after the Break...
2.- In a strange turn of events, it now appears as though the Wii U will be able to support two Wii tablet controllers.
Industry analyst Michael Pachter claims that he spoke to Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime who informed him that the Wii U will feature support for two Wii U tablet controllers. Shigeru Miyamoto previously stated to gaming press that the “basic premise is that you can use one with a system.”
“They were particularly unclear about whether the console would support more than one of their tablet-like controllers; Mr. Miyamoto said no, but Reggie said yes (to me in a meeting),” said Pachter. “Obviously, they intend to ship the console with only one of these controllers, so it is unlikely that anyone will develop games that require two, but they were not clear whether the capability exists.”- Michael Pachter
3.- Nintendo UK’s marketing manager Rob Lowe has told online gaming publication Eurogamer that the company has had a major rethink on how it deals with third party development studios.
Nintendo are also relying on third part developers to make good use of the Wii U’s unique controller, thus enabling them to make exclusive games for Nintendo’s forthcoming console.
Lowe admits that “traditionally we would invest our time and money more into first party,” but follows-up by saying:
…we have to invest in a much bigger way in third party partners because there are certain types of games that we’re just not specialists at. If we want to create a console that will appeal across boundaries to all different types of gamers we’re going to need their support more than ever before.
And of course:
It is much easier for third parties to move their products across from Xbox 360 and PS3 to Wii U.
It’s that sort of developer support that is the Achilles’ heel of Microsoft of Sony. If Nintendo manages to duplicate that third-party support and add their own layer for first-party content, the other consoles would surely have an anaemic-looking line-up of games.
Of course…Nintendo still has plenty of opportunities to screw this up.

Noticias Nuevas - Nintendo Wii U
1.- Nintendo of America PR director Mark Franklin fue preguntado por GiantBomb, si el controlador de su nueva consola tenía ya nombre, a lo que replicó: "De momento no. Lo estamos llamando el controlador nuevo".
No tenemos un nombre por ahora.” Con los controladores de Wii, siendo llamados al final Wii Remote y Wii Remote Plus, ¿Cómo creéis que se llamará el nuevo controlador?
Nintendo también están dependiendo de que las terceras empresas hagan buen uso de su innovador controlador y que les permita realizar juegos exclusivos para Nintendo Wii U.
Lowe admite que tradicionalmente invertirían más dinero en videojuegos de primeras empresas, pero luego dice:
…tenemos que invertir de una forma más amplia en terceras empresas, porque hay géneros de videojuegos que no sabemos crear bien. Si queremos crear una consola que agrade al mayor número de jugadores, necesitamos su soporte.
Y por supuesto:
Es mucho más fácil para los diseñadores pasar directamente todos los productos de la Xbox 360 y PS3 a la Wii U.
Es ese tipo de soporte de terceras empresas el talón de aquiles de Microsoft y Sony. Su dependencia en terceros. Si Nintendo consigue duplicar su soporte por parte de las terceras empresas, y añade a eso su propia gama de videojuegos de primera empresa, las demás consolas tendrán un anémico rango de videojuegos: menos y peores.
Claro que... Nintendo todavía puede jo**, quiero decir... fastidiarlo todo.
