The Legend of Zelda and Metroid were absent from last week’s E3. Nintendo may be working on those titles along with other traditional franchises for Wii U. Satoru Iwata clarified that the reason Nintendo focused on Wii U launch and launch-window titles during E3 is because they don’t want competitors to develop “similar proposals” of their unannounced games. While speaking to investors, Iwata revealed that he and Miyamoto are working on existing Nintendo franchises “and of course new prepositions.”
Speaking with investors, Iwata said: “First, what we’ve shown at the E3 show are both the launch titles that will be released with Wii U hardware this holiday season and the launch window titles that will be released early next year or not long after the hardware launch.
“We do have ideas of what kind of software we will be releasing after those two periods, and Mr. Miyamoto as well as I are both directly involved in the development process. Those include both our traditional franchises and of course new propositions as well.
“However, because we are now in the era when similar proposals can be made by the others just one year after we introduced a brand-new hardware system proposal, please understand that we really can’t say much about what else we are planning.”

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!
LOL
“I’d like to buy all your Wii U games”
Now this, this is good news
Just as I thought.
F-Zero HD anyone?
God I hope so
and a starfox too.i miss that game series.
Same. I want an HD Star Fox game on the Wii U badly. And online multiplayer plus local multiplayer with A.I. bots would make it even better.
That would be awesome!
when ur playing starfox you can also see the player’s face.THAT WOULD BE AWESOME LIKE STARFOX 3D
Thank you. I can’t believe so many people look down on Star Fox now. It never fell so far as something like Sonic did.
well its one of the underrated games that i know once people played it they will know how good it is
whose shock?not me :l
Completely understand. Thanks for this ‘playstation move’ and ‘Xbox smart glass’. I do wish competitors would try and be innovative in their own way. Why is it always Nintendo who take risks? This is why I love them! :D
Sony’s Wonderbook…
Oh wait…
Nintendo/Tecmo Koei’s Spirit Camera…
Another dig at the Smart Glass?
I’d say Nintendo do have a number of other games but are only announcing games they know will be available in the launch window so they don;t have a repeat of the 3DS launch window. Weren’t Icarus and Ocarina launch window titles whose release slipped?
Thats why I thought their E3 presentation was lacking. If they let all their cats out of the bag MS and sony would try to copy them. Copy cats, get it?
I see what you did there. lol
It definitely was lacking. And news like these are what made up for it. Filled in the holes, you can say.
Is better that way, I’m looking forward for future surprises
Nintendo’s messages about games after E3 seem way more appealing than what they showed at E3.
I hope they are looking into more traditional Star Fox, Metroid and F-Zero. But I really want to see a proper 3D pokemon title (maybe mixing Pokemon Stadium with Collisseum and then going even further by making it even bigger). That could be amazing.
Excited to see what they have in store – Although I need more information before they start to win me over.
LOLLLL its like theyre indirectly saying: “Xbox and ps3 always tend to copy us a year later” epic haha
yeah pretty much
the reason to appreciate Nintendo!
Yeah, I wonder why… Playstation All Stars = Copycat version of Super Smash Brothers
Yeah, they are pretty much saying that. Next thing you know Microsoft is going to copy the- oh wait they did with Halo 4 looking a lot like Metroid Prime
I call that Haloid 4.
and the sad part is that when nintendo release a new metroid game, haters will say it copy halo 4
soooo true
Just because they wasted time with Other M other than focusing on Prime 4.
Wait, were they hinting at a Zelda HD?
http://www.matthewratzloff.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/take-my-money.jpg
Makes sense .. and a goo proof of that it’s the the PS3 brawler PS All Stars (something..)… an obvious-cheeky clone of Super Smash Bros ….
PLEASE STOP COPYING NINTENDO!!
THIS!
thumbs up for SAF64’S comment!
Thank you! its time for Sony to remove our penis out from their buts! and them to came with something original for lord sake
I wish the next Smash Bros will have MORE third party characters like Rayman, Spyro, Enzo from AC3, Mega Man, etc..
i wish they would have miis too.
^^^ yeah!!! ^^^ the fuc*ing Miis !!!! that would be awesome!
+ there should include an stage or event in where you have to kill “Team Mii” like in the past was the “Fighting Polygon Team” … so you can SMASH all Miis from other users worldwide in a sadistic way !!! yaaaay
THAT’S WHY I MUST USE LOGIC TO BECOME A SCIENTIST BIOLOGIST XD!.(i am a teenager so dont be mad for my comment) :)
about*
I meant Connor from AC3. Enzo it’s from AC2.
His name is Ezio
Don’t forget about Halo 4, its pretty much trying to look like a clone of Metroid Prime
^this … I agree
This man deserves a cookie.
Who gives a shit? If the game will be fun, then that’s what matters the most.
This I have no problem with, actually. I dunno why, I just don’t. Maybe I just love Metroid that much.
Metroid is my favorite… but Halo’s gameplay is still very different so it doesn’t matter to me. PS All Stars pisses me off though…
Thank you, basically this is them saying “we see what Sony and M$ are doing, and we won’t support it anymore. They need their own products, not bootlegs of ours”
no fanboy, just logic.
YAS AMEN TO LOGIC! *-*
who cares?
Blacktendo is doomed and they will become 3rd party developers
i hope you will enjoy this my litttle friends
Keep dreaming.
U FUCKING BASTARD!YOU ARE SUCH AN ASSHOLE!MICROSOFT WILL CLOSE FOR EVER AND U WILL SUCK OUR BALLS!
What the heck is Blacktendo?
racist insault*
men who works on nintendo are fucking black idiots just like africans
Same with Microsoft and Sony… only as their slaves, whilst Nintendo gives their Black, White and Asian employees good working conditions and treats them with respect.
Try harder when trolling

A while back (in another terhad), Brent asked if I had any constructive tips or advice for our users. I don’t have much to offer for the other users, but since I’m heavily involved in web development on the editorial side, I can at least offer some advice to CBG’s editorial staff in the way of some questions that would go a long way to helping you identify the strengths and weaknesses of this website.* How much revenue is being generated from your website (banner ads, etc.)? Are you monetizing other areas of your online areas (e.g., e-newsletters, podcasts, videos)?* Do you sell products from your website? If so, are revenues up or down compared to previous months/years?* Are you getting regular online reports from your web team (e.g., Omniture reports)? If not, why not?* Why do visitors come to your site? Why does your site exist, and what do you offer on your website that your visitors cannot receive from the print magazine, or from other websites?* How much traffic (page views, unique visitors, total visits) are you getting on a monthly basis? * How is this traffic trending compared to last month? How is it trending compared to last year?* What is the average amount of time a visitor spends with your website? Is this amount increasing or decreasing month over month/year over year?* What was your best month in the past year/two years?* What are your most popular pages for the past month/past year? How does this compare to previous months/years?* Who are your most popular writers/columnists/contributors to the website? How often are they posting new content? Do you have a budget or payment plan that encourages/incentivizes your top contributors to write frequently? Are you actively soliciting content from new writers as well?* Do you have areas of your website that have not been updated in many months? If so, either update them or consider phasing them out. If your print columnists are not contributing to the website, offer them incentives to do so or else shut down those online areas.* Where are your visitors coming from? Are they mostly U.S. based? What percentage of your traffic comes from overseas? Do you have a strategy to attract more traffic from overseas?* Are you familiar with other websites and what features those other sites have? Do you regularly contact other editors to learn best practices, as well as strategies on how to ensure CBGxtra’s web development is made a priority within the corporate hierarchy? * What do you do better on your website than your competitors do, and vice versa?* What are your top three priorities for the website? What would you like the website to look like six months from now? Do you have sufficient resources and staffing to make those priorities a reality?
Its funny because you know the company you support is going under, lol.
Stop bitching about your period and man up
…Blacktendo?
You mean they’re always in the black?
Thank you for that compliment.
Like a Sir
+1 for you
In one sentence, you have proved to whoever cared to read that you´re racist, ignorant, ungrateful and stupid, and so has anyone who fuels the flames with dumb replies. For your sake, I´m happy that the internet provides anonymity.
+1
you get a D- for your trolling

look at these 2 articles sickr
I’m glad Wii U having 3rd party support but I really hope Nintendo remembers that there REAL fans are the ones that like there first party and second party games. WE WANT SSB4!!!!!!
No need to worried my friend. SSB4 will be there, only take time!
Patience is a virtue
I’m looking forward to Super Smash Bros. 4.
Iwata is having a field day. I wonder if that was the reason Retro supposedly pulled their game from the conference.
Btw, I’m currently at over 4 hours of gameplay in Xenoblade (just got out of Colony 9), and holy s**t! By far the best RPG/JRPG I’ve played this gen already. Valkyria Chronicles is in a distant second. Xenoblade is everything I wanted Final Fantasy 13 to be when it was announced, but XB goes beyond that. The battle mechanics take a while to learn completely, but once you do, it’s worth it. I’m now want this game on Wii U and use its controller for this game. To think that I only got this game so that Pandora’s Tower could make it here, yet this is already the best Wii game I’ve played hands down, and I’m only starting! I love the story so far.
That may definitely have been the reason Retro was absent. Nintendo pulled an Illusive Man and told Retro to “wait”.
I Know! Xenoblade is now consider my favorite RPG/JRPG of all time. just wait, once you get farther in the game, The Story gets Crazy!
Yayyy, it’s very good to see continuous news updates regarding Nintendo’s plans for Wii U. Honestly, I much prefer this than waiting a whole year for a damn one-time only conference. At least with news updates we can enjoy the information throughout the year.
To celebrate, I’m going to play some Smash Bros Melee today.
“Similar proposals.” Yes, totally understandable. This is the reason I expected why Nintendo couldn’t divulge every single thing. Wouldn’t want everyone else to develop games as awesome as Metroid. Or make consoles as (supposedly) awesome as the Wii U. If I can enjoy the Wii U about as much as I enjoyed the N64 and Gamecube, I’ll be alright.
hahahaha good idea
How funny, I’ve been seeing comments on here and other sites about how Nintendo shouldn’t have said anything about Wii U last year for the same reason. Though the result of it this year at their main conference wasn’t the most pleasant, it’s good to see that Nintendo is taking this approach.
Pingback: Holding onto their Cards: The Nintendo Strategy - DarkerRyan: Blog - IGN
Wii U is going to have so many insanely awesome games, I’m thinking I won’t buy anything that doesn’t come out on this system.
Nintendo is playing the long game. Very smart move. No need to throw all your cards on the table at E3. Leave luck to heaven.
like i said nintendo dosent want sony and microsft to come out with there ideas after seeing microsft smart glass i would do the same thing well played iwata
nintendo e3 was still full of games more than sony
Yeah, games that got released on the PS3 and 360 months ago. Nintendo’s E3 wasn’t very good, plain and simple. You’d have to be a fanboy (not fan) to think otherwise.
The comments in this section are absolutely ludicrous get your heads out of your ass, and stop believing what some dick is saying and wait till actual games are announced/rel;eased. Stop being fanboys, grow up and stop sucking nintendo’s dick. They had a TERRIBLE conference, probably the worst conference with NEW HARDWARE. its pathetic and i WILL NOT be buying there new console unless they have decent games are than new super mario brothers 500.
