I would like that. I thought the Wii was going to have a cartridge slot before it was announced so you can play NES, SNES, and N64 titles on the Wii along with GCN titles.

I hope they could play all of Nintendo games on the next system. Maybe even Virtual boy title.

it might cannabalise the portable hardware sales, but might actUally increase portable game sales and the home console hardware sales.

I like the idea so long as its out of the box, but I'm not sure that would still be a system seller. Plus some people who own the handheld system would prefer to have a cheaper version without the additional hardware. A better option I think would just allow the ability to play those games digitally.

Sounds like Nintendo's answer is to keep trying quirky gimmicks until they run out of so much money that they HAVE to push the panic button and try to compete. Only by then the general public will be so disgusted with them that nobody will care, and they will sink to hell.

That is a damn nice list of PS PLUS stuff. I have been wanting Remember Me for awhile now, and Outlast is a great addition to PS4. I do wish they would start porting more over to PS4 under PS Plus.

at least i can still copy/paste


Iwata on apps, reviving Wii U, utilizing their cash reserves, profit goals, QOL and finding a successor


Coming from an Nikkei interview with Satoru Iwata. These are not all direct quotes, with some being summaries of information.


On the smartphones apps:

Apps that broadcast the quality of Nintendo products. They can be games and they can use Nintendo characters. Ideally, something that is used everyday. There are no plans to release existing Nintendo games on smartphones. Doesn't think only porting games would help the company.


Even if they are free, it doesn't mean there's no value to them. However, in the future, if there's an opportunity to make money from them, they won't necessarily ignore it.



How to revive the home console business:

During the period we launched the DS and Wii, many also thought we had little future in video games. Wii U is not doing well now, but one game can change everything. For example, Pokemon for the Gameboy.


On using the "warchest":

No plans to acquire business that are not in the entertainment industry. But not limited to only the video game business.

Nikkei: Before, you said "Nintendo profits" are those over 100 billion yen. Do you still think like that?

Iwata: I still do, but because of the Wii U shortcomings, we cannot achieve these figures in one year. If you ask me how long do you have to wait, within one year is not possible, but if in 3 years we're still not there, then something is wrong.


Quality of Life content:

Nintendo has always changed.


About finding a successor:

Says he's 54 years-old, which isn't that old among CEOs, and still has time left. It's not something he thinks for the near future. Nintendo can't find someone suited for the job overnight. When will that happen and who will he be, he couldn't tell you right now.


What does he think about the legalization of casinos in Japan?

No comments. It's not Nintendo's business. It's not what he would call entertainment.

Nintendo offering eShop credit to those that purchased Batman: Arkham Origins season pass due to yanked support


If you purchased a Wii U season pass for DLC related to Batman: Arkham Origins, you might want to check your eShop account. You might have $20 credit waiting for you, as explained by Nintendo below.

Thanks so much for your support of Batman: Arkham Origins on Wii U.


We are contacting you today because you purchased the Batman: Arkham Origins Season Pass for Wii U. We hope you’ve been enjoying the content that has been delivered thus far. Based on demand for Downloadable Content on the system, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment has made the decision to remove its offering of the upcoming new story campaign for Wii U. As a result, we will be crediting the entire $19.99+tax cost of the Season Pass back to your Nintendo eShop account. You will still be able to enjoy the content already released thus far.


We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your support of the game.


Sincerely,

Nintendo of America Inc.
