Katsuya Eguchi, the designer behind established Nintendo games such as Animal Crossing and Yoshi’s Story has told Edge that the company will introduce new franchises with Wii U. In the same way Wii Sports was built around the Wii Eguchi hopes that Nintendo will deliver fresh experiences that are based around the Wii U’s unique controller.
Do you expect the first round of Wii U games to be based on new IP or established characters and series?
Of course, with those fan-favourite IPs, we’ll continue to offer games based on those characters, in those worlds, with the Wii U. but if there are opportunities for us to come up with new iPs that work well with this new system we’ll jump on those as well.
I would like a new franchise independent of Miis, thank you.
I second that motion.
I third it.
I fourth it
C-C-C-C-C-COOOOOOOOOMBO BRREEAAKKEERR
Fifth that, fool!
Unclear of whether the previous comment “fifths that, fool!”, I fifth and sixth it….bitch
I 9001st that.
OVER 9000!!!
But Miis are good for game file personalization :)
fifth
sorry 9002
I 9014 that!!
I third that
Second fourth
I finalize that.
i say period. period.
New characters Ninty! We love Kirby and Mario and Zelda and Metroid, but new ideas are good too
By that I mean, new ideas independent of previous franchises.
I know this is not likely to happen, but I wish there was a new EarthBound game for Wii U… One can only wish. *Looks longingly into the distance*
Please think of hardcore gamers Nintendo. Make Mii related content for the Wii. Keep the Wii U for new franchises that are as good as or exceed Zelda, Mario, Metroid etc.
Also, I must say that Wii U controller looks mighty fine up there in that picture. Colour me excited!
Agreed
I just want animal crossing
Give me a StarFox as good as N64’s, a F-Zero as good as GameCube’s, a Smash Bros as good as Wii’s and a Mario Kart with all the tracks ever made. I’ll be forever happy.
Mario Kart with a track editor!
Where you can use the touchscreen to draw the track, like ModNation Racers on the Vita.
Can’t remember if it has been decidd but does anyone know is the Controller charge or battery?
The controller is charge :)
Thank you! Nobody ever considers homemade tracks it would be ridiculously simple with the touchscreen. Plus i want to seriously customize my car, not radically change the game but let you unlock parts that improve capabilities and style, like 12 different body styles allowing you to draw decals and paint every inch of your car! Its not to much to ask of a racing game i’ve been playing since i was 4 in 1998.
You can do that in Mario Kart 7, I believe.
The Wii U is looking great. :)
I really want like a new Mario-caliber franchise, fingers crossed
They said they where going to make new first party games and characters :)
this is really exciting i love nintendos ip/franchises cant wait for new ones
“The Legend of U”
I can see it now. It’s an entire adventure game based on your own created Mii lol
It could be fun :)
New ips would be really awesome. We def need a fresh new face on the team
They should create several new franchises, and pay more attention to ones they haven’t done much with, such as Pikmin (pikmin 3 please!), Ice climbers, Earthbound, Kid Icarus, ect.
They already announced that Pikmin 3 would be for the Wii U
I would love earthbound, but it is never going to happen.
add a new icon for the nintendo franchise would be great like a mix between zelda and metroid also i don’t know if i am the only one but i would like a mario sunshine 2
Can’t wait to see what they will bring for the Wii-U
Super mario 128! Yeaaaaah!!!!
i want to see nintendo make a call of duty type game,or grand theft auto type game,just for shits and giggles
Grand Theft Mario-Kart, and Call of Kirby: Blob Ops? Done!
Personally I takink thay should start off with known Series like Zelda, Mario, Pikmin ect. But I would gladly see some new franchises
1- bring earthbound, the legendary starfy, captain rainbow and other nintendo games that didn’t get released in the west
2. in terms of new I.Ps this sounds really promising. nintendo have conquered almost every genre. how’s about a devil may cry, bayonetta style shooter? the one type of game i’d love to see nintendo develop and try to tackle is the fighting game. make a street fighter, tekken, virtua fighter-style fighter with new characters, moves, combos.

i wish they would make a sweet custom robo for the wii U i mean you could cutomize everything easy on the controller and with amazing graphics it would look so epic. Custom robo is so ignored by so many gamers but its an amazing game with pretty darn good story line.
CO-SIGN!!!!!!!
Fuck that Mii shit give me a M ratted title and coller me happy
