Reggie Fils-Aime Says Nintendo Has to Do Better With the Nintendo NX

Reggie Fils-Aime Says Nintendo Has to Do Better With the Nintendo NX

, , , , , 0

Speaking to alistdaily, Nintendo of America head Reggie Fils-Aime admits that Nintendo has made mistakes. However, he also said that Nintendo will have to do better when it comes to the launch of the next upcoming Nintendo console, which is codenamed the Nintendo NX. This is in reference to the disappointing sales and performance of the Nintendo Wii U. Speaking on the subject, Fils-Aime stated, “One of the things that we have to do better when we launch the NX [is] we have to do a better job communicating the positioning for the product. We have to do a better job helping people to understand its uniqueness and what that means for the game playing experience.” He added, “We have to do a better job from a software planning standpoint.” Hopefully, this means that the NX will have stronger third-party game development and support. That was one of the issues that plagued the Wii U. Fils-Aime continued on the Nintendo learning its lessons, “[Nintendo must] have that continuous beat of great new games that are motivating

Will the Nintendo NX Have Portability?

Will the Nintendo NX Have Portability?

According to a new report by Eurogamer, the new Nintendo NX console could have portability. In fact, the report indicates that Nintendo’s next upcoming console, which is codenamed the NX, will be portable and also have detachable controllers. How this pans out remains to be seen. However, the console will reportedly feature its own display with controllers on each side. The console when it is at someone’s home can be connected to what is described as a “base unit/dock station.” Then it can connect to a TV and play inside someone’s home. The report claims that multiple sources indicate that the NX will use game cartridges as its “physical media.” Even though it’s in the report that sounds strange and a little far-fetched. Wasn’t one of the big problems with the Nintendo 64 that Nintendo stubbornly stuck with cartridges instead of moving toward CDs? The game console will also potentially be digital downloads only. Additionally, the report says there will be no backwards compatibility with the Wii or Wii U

A brand new report from Eurogamer claims to have insider information about the upcoming Nintendo NX. According to multiple sources that have revealed information to the outlet, the Japanese console will actually be a hybrid system that can act as both a home console and a portable handheld system. Players will be able to take the Nintendo NX around with them as they travel as it is small and light enough to be carried. However, it is also powerful enough, thanks to the Nividia Tegra mobile processor, to be plugged into a television with a special dock that allows for gaming at home on a bigger screen. Uniquely, the controls that surround the screen of the platform can also be detached at any time. Further information suggests that the Nintendo NX will use cartridges for games. This seems to confirm constant rumors that have teased the fact that the new console would move to a more traditional type of physical media instead of discs. This wouldn’t be so surprising considering

Nintendo Isn't Currently Making Controller For Mobile Titles

Nintendo recently held its Shareholders meeting, and in it discussed many aspects of the company. One such topic was the mobile market Nintendo has been attempting to get into. During the conference, Nintendo president Tatsumi Kimishima noted how well the app was doing: Miitomo has been downloaded more than 10 million times (by unique users) since it was made available for download this March, and the number of downloads continues to grow. We plan to expand the number of countries where it is available, which should further increase the number of downloads. We are focused on the retention rate, which is how many users continue to play Miitomo. Miitomo represents our first attempt in the field of smart device applications. The communication style of the app is also a new challenge for Nintendo, as this is not just direct one-way communication, but rather communication through Mii characters. There are some points that we need to improve in these areas.” One question that came up was the idea of Nintendo making

Nintendo’s next upcoming hardware concept, codenamed the Nintendo NX, just received the endorsement and pledged support from a major video game publisher in the form Warner Bros. Interactive, the publisher of such games as the Batman Arkham franchise, LEGO video games, Mortal Kombat and more. VentureBeat spoke to WB Interactive President David Haddad, who discussed new consoles coming from Microsoft in the Scorpio and Nintendo’s NX. Speaking on the subject, Haddad stated: “We have great relationships with all the console platforms. We believe we play a role in each of them. What I saw with the announcements that were made at [E3 2016]–I’m fairly bullish about the console cycle, about gamers spending time on them and finding great content, about publishers being able to find returns on increasing investments in that space. We’re constantly deciding how to navigate that, but supporting them is not a question for us.” Warner Bros. Interactive has been a decent third party supporter for the Nintendo Wii U. Batman: Arkham City Armored Edition was one of the

Next Console Zelda Game Could Have Multiplayer

While not new to the Legend of Zelda franchise, as Four Swords and Tri-Force Heroes had it, the idea of a console Zelda game having multiplayer has long been a desire by fans. While it’s clear that the upcoming Breath of the Wild won’t have it, according to producer Eiji Aonuma, it could be in the one after: “I would like to take what I learned from Breath of the Wild and see if we can somehow fuse those learning points into another multiplayer Zelda,” Aonuma told IGN at E3 2016. “For example, with Triforce Heroes, which followed a similar format of Four Swords, there was a multiplayer involved in that game.” He goes on: “That’s definitely a possibility and we will continue to [experiment] throughout the Zelda franchise,“ he added. The reason this was discussed was because during a Nintendo Direct, Aonuma noted that he wanted to change the way Legend of Zelda was played. Two of the ways he noted that were staples of the franchise were “completing

Nintendo Doesn't Want To Brand New Zelda As "Open World"

The naming of genres helps gamers decide whether a game is something they might be interested in trying the game out. However, sometimes a game goes beyond a genre, and can be hard to define. This apparently is what is happening with Nintendo in regards to Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. As Shigeru Miyamoto notes: “I think within the game industry or the tech industry, there’s a tendency to want to name everything,” Miyamoto told IGN. “But I think it’s important for what we do that we don’t want to be dependent or swayed by the technology and what’s available now. We want to use the technology and the techniques that are available to make what we want to make,” he explained. “What’s important is to really express how we use that to make our experience unique. We didn’t want to just make a game where you can do anything, but we wanted to make sure that we make a game where the player is able to do

Legend of Zelda Producer Talks Voice Acting In Game

When Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild was revealed in full at E3, one of the key things people noted about the trailer was that there was voice acting in it for the first time. The series has long prided itself on its uses of sound and emotional looks to convey the words on the screen, but now, it appears that’s changing. If only a little. For as Zelda Produce Eiji Aonuma revealed, though there is voice acting in Breath of the Wild, it’s not in full. “It’s really difficult to leave an impression on players with just text,” Breath of the Wild producer Eiji Aonuma told Polygon. “It’s not that I made everything voiced. But I have these moments where I want to leave impressions on users. I add voice there.” He did note however that when he first heard the voice acting in the game, it really struck him as beautiful. One thing that will truly stay silent though is Link, who has not said a single

Nintendo Explains Dual Release For Breath Of The Wild

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild made a big splash at this years E3. However, many fans are still saddened that the game will not be released in 2016 like it was originally planned. In fat, the game will release in 2017 on both Wii U and NX. The Zelda team talked at E3 about why this was the case: “It’s complicated because as we’re developing this — obviously development of NX started a while ago — and unfortunately, I’m sorry, but the development of this game took a lot longer than expected,” Shigeru Miyamoto told IGN. ”We really felt like we would be able to get it done last year, but there was a lot of struggle with using the physics engine, so that’s why it took a long time.” “Also, when we thought about developing a Zelda game for the NX, it would have to be way further down the life cycle of the system,” he continued. “And this game, rather than really focusing on the

Nintendo Making "New Kind Of Mario Game"

For some game franchises, it’s really hard to keep things new and interesting. A key example of this is Mario. Though Nintendo has used Mario to launch new franchises, and even put him in numerous genres himself, the main Super Mario titles don’t change very much. In fact, the last “true” revolution for Mario game in the form of the Super Mario Galaxy games. Since then though, Nintendo has gone back to the “roots” of the franchise, with mixed results. Shigeru Miyamoto though revealed that’s changing: “We’re always challenging ourselves to create something new, so hopefully you’ll see a new kind of Mario in about a year or two,” Shigeru Miyamoto said in an interview with IGN. “Maybe next E3 we’ll be able to share something.” However, Miyamoto noted that there is unique challenge when trying to innovate a Mario game: “It’s kind of difficult with Mario because some of the more important conventions of Mario are based on the approachability and accessibility of those games,” Miyamoto said, noting that

Although fans have known about the latest Legend of Zelda game for some time, Nintendo hasn’t actually released very much information about the title. That all changed today, with the Japanese publisher lifting the lid on one of its biggest and most acclaimed franchises. Today’s livestream not only gave an in-depth look at the new game but also finally revealed that it will be called The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. As well as the subtitle for the title, Nintendo also showed off a number of new features and mechanics that are being introduced into the series. This includes voice acting for the first time, as evidenced by the woman speaking over the introduction of the trailer. Also included were the ability to climb trees and mountains, dive into water, glide using a gadget, and a magic-like skill that allows players to build and move objects in the vast open world. The trailer also revealed that this Zelda game will be unlike its predecessors by putting gamers in

Another Mysterious Nintendo Patent Discovered

Another Mysterious Nintendo Patent Discovered

Every now and then a patent for a weird new Nintendo device turns up in the US Patent Application database. The last one to be found was speculated to be for the NX, and suggested the console would not run games from discs. Now a new one has turned up, and this time, there’s little guessing what it’s supposed to be. It’s a Gamepad, with a giant screen. This implies Nintendo intends to continue putting screens into their controllers when the NX comes out. Hopefully they find a way to reduce the cost of this. See what the finger is doing? The drawing is depicting new technology that senses movement outside of the Gamepad itself. The drawing shown in the featured image depicts an amiibo being read by one of these remote sensors, without having to place it on the pad. It”s also possible the device could be a new handheld, but several factors stand in the way of that: for one, these days, Nintendo wouldn’t release a handheld without
