Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has confessed that Nintendo has learned “bitter lessons” from the Nintendo 3DS launch, but claims that he’s confident that the company is doing all in its power to make sure the Wii U launch is nothing short of a tremendous success.
“The company is aiming to firmly complete the development of the entire [Wii U] system and prepare sufficient software so that the Wii U will be at its best at the time of the launch. Needless to say, we have learned a bitter lesson from the launch of the Nintendo 3DS.”
this makes me incredibly excited for e3 and to see what games are in store for nintendo’s future!
seriously, i feel a metroid, star fox, mario, and zelda game coming to the console relatively soon. along with pikmin and smash bros, nintendo seems to be learning from their mistakes with their 3ds launch and the long periods of very little wii releases. i love nintendo and CANNOT WAIT TO SEE THESE GAMES
p.s. i am not peteriuss and have no idea why it was typed into the name, i usually post anonymously. might as well post as peteriuss one more time.
maybe actualy make a new game too instead of copying the characters of nintendo + the retro sequals….. like a new nintendo character maybe….
Dillon’s Rolling Western – New game and character from Nintendo.
Nimble Sakura Warrior – New game and character from Nintendo.
So shut up.
……… y not add on to that………
new ip’s? so whens the next milk truck scheduled?
i said that wrong…….
i hear rolling western doesnt work that well, and i just checked out nible sakura warrior, and i dont really know what to think of it just yet. but im pretty sure miyamoto is on the verge of announcing a big brand new character/game/franchise. hopefully for wii u
No Pushmo?
They’re already doing that, you know.
well we know that Super Smash Brothers wasnt even suppose to be announced last E3 and Iwata did it cause hes a huge dick to Sakurai.
i dont know why are u anoying me with ur nonsense but ill end this madness mad man! sickr can u ban anonymous?
ha this is too funny sorry bro but every time i hit reply or post comment, it automatically puts peteriuss in the name. dont know why and i cant get rid of it
What a busy little nintendo news day. I love days like this where sickr just pumps out articles.
Busiest news morning I’ve had in a while! Super stoked with the news though especially that we’re definitely getting a new 2D Mario game sometime between April 2012 – April 2013 for Nintendo 3DS.
I know! Super mario 3d land was great so I can’t wait for this one. And you posted animal crossing news too which always makes me happy. 2012 is going to be a great year for gamers. Nintendo, xbox, and sony fans alike.
I feel sorry for you when E3 comes around
We shall have to wait and see to know of this launch will be as good as they claim.
Just like the wii at e3 its all hot air. You should get a new neo-geo thats coming and a xbox trust you’ll never look back.
I have a xbox360, Ive had it for a month now lol.
And I think its ok. I do like it yes and I love how XBL isnt as lagy for me (I have NAT3 internet so that dosent help) but I love my PS3 and Wii more. PS3 above all (Trollers gonna troll in replys to this).
Hey I like my ps3 better than my wii as well but the 3ds is climbing it’s way up there. But I will say that the exclusives like Mario galaxy are better than any Sony exclusive this generation but the reason I like the ps3 better is because hmm 3rd party support!
To little of exclusives I want for Wii, I just have mario galaxies and Zelda and dont care for the rest. In my opinion PS3 certainly has wii beat for exclusives.
Wrestling is fake
Lol random much.
I have a 360, PS3 and a Wii and I have to say that the 360 is my least favorite out of all those…such a fragile system.
Iwata-san’s body is as ready as NOA President Fils-Aime’s body is. I’ll look forward to the Wii U (unless the big N change the name of the new system) when it launches all around the world.
What did Nintendo hand say to the haters face?
No refunds!
Lmao
Good to hear.
yeah it is!!
Mario at launch please Nintendo!
God I hate those Nintendo investors. Nintendo has it’s first financial loss in it’s history and all of a sudden they all wanna bail. It’s obvious they don’t know a lot about gaming otherwise they’d know that Nintendo is a juggernaut in the gaming world. SMH If only I could invest..
But they do know alot about investing and know that investing on hopes may likley give no results money wise. They are investors for a reason and that reason is money.

Maybe their investors want to stop losing money, and they do not forsee good things with the Wii U.
The 3ds is not Nintendo first financial lost remember the Gamecube.
They’ve learned, huh? Good.
They can start by changing it’s name and making sure not every launch game is a port.
Also, hopefully they can get Kid Icarus on it if Uprising does well.
This
Most 3rd party games are ports so whatS the complaint….if it was made for the ps3 it was ported to the 360 or vice versa. I don’t think your going to see to many 3rd party games really take advantage of that extra graphical power the wiiu for awhile unless 3rd party deva make exclusives for the wiiu like rockstar and square Enixdid for playstation but I don’t see that happening.
Sickr! How do you put soo much news so quick!!!!!!!????

Put Call of Duty as a launch title and they will come.
Indeed they will
Wii U updates has posted that the wiiu will be released November 26th.
Source/linbk or its a LIE
if its not by nintendo, its not true
Time for me to mark down my calendar on my computer and cell phone!!!!!!!!
I wouldn’t. I’d mark it for E3 so that when the release is officially released I can mark it.
this news makes me extremely happy. i mean considering how many awesome games they were able to crank out for the 3ds in order to save it. i can only imagine what they can come up with for the wii u or whatever they’ll call it
i would hope so. part of the reason i didn’t get a 3DS at launch was cuz there were no games, it was ridiculously expensive, and red wasn’t available. the wii u, or whatever they end up calling it, needs to have everything the 3DS launch didn’t. games, reasonable price, and multiple colors.
Man when they said that Wii U news would be pumping out even before E3, they weren’t kidding. It’s not even February yet and already I feel excitement.
I got a question to people who bought a 3ds a launch. I pre order mine from gamestop when it came out on 3/27 for $250 did anyone had to pay $20 tax when I look at the receipt I was like wtf.
Well yes you have to pay tax, you can pay the tax too right when you preorder but by the sounds of it you just payed the price before it.
I pay them $50 to pro order it and pay the rest when it came out but what am trying to say is a PS3 cost the same thing $250 but it’s tax is only $10.
Same here but I got mine at the nearest shoppers drugmart. I was pissed too! It was like ten o clock in the morning! Anyway… Anyone planning on getting vita? I’m definetly not. The 3DS has much more potential. Sony can go fuck off nintendo rules the portable world!!
I was thinking about getting a vita and I’m kinda still thinking about it lol but I’m Just not sure yet! Depends I just might wait and see what the software lineup is for the wiiu the ps3 and 3ds is because I don’t want to feel overwhelmed by new games to play which I do every November and that’s with 3 gaming devices I couldn’t imagine 4.
E3!
I look forward to seeing if the 3rd parties can hold up their end of the bargain. We know Nintendo will.
They never lost money with the gc
best titles for launch would be
The Legend Of Zelda:Something
Grand Theft Auto 5
Call of duty:Recycled
A mario game
a animal crossing game
a raceing game
a metroid game
even though i dont like call of duty all these games would make the launch a sucess
Didn’t they already said that twice?
I really don’t know, to be honest.
Well, I mean it seems like they’re regretting themselves too much.
Pikmin 3 is what I need at launch that is all good day…but a Mario game and a few other first party titles and good 3rd party ones like (RE:6 or NMH3) would be kick ass too.
Basically if they released a Mario game as Launch title, they wouldn’t need to have a price cut.
Perfect launch!
First party;
Pikmin 3
Wave Race U
Metroid Dread
Super mario bros Mii (WITH LEVEL EDITOR)
Wii U play
Wii U sports
Mii vs U
Majora’s mask (re-imagined and in HD)
StarWing & Starfox 2 (re-imagined and in HD)
plus the 3rd parties like lego city stories and killer freaks etc, this would be the best launch eva!!!
Oh and I forgot.
Disaster: Day of crisis 2
Price was also a factor too though. Once they dropped the price it began to sell a lot better. I mean I went out and bought a 3DS day one but I’m not sure if i will do that again if the Wii U is over $350 which to me seems like a reasonable selling price.
No they haven’t. The Wii U will tank because the Xbox 720 will rock my ass. Speaking of my ass, I need to put some Preparation H on it after Bill Gates has been ramming it up their for weeks!!!!
Troll
U angry because the Wii U is twice the power of Xbox720? Quit being a freaking troll and get over it!!!!!!!!

In other words, they’d better have some decent games available at the Wii U launch. Super Smash Bros 4 and the next Legend of Zelda game seem the best bet here, Nintendo should have realised previously that stuff like Pilotwings wasn’t going to cut it as a killer app.
