Nintendo working on 45 games for Wii, 79 for DS
Today in Tokyo, Japan, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata met with the press to talk about having doubled the company’s video games profits in 2006 and the Nintendo’s future plans that include the development of 45 Wii games and 79 DS games. “The next batch of games will be introduced to the market at the end of summer,” he said.
He continued by saying that many of these games are “real gamer games” such as Super Mario Galaxy and Super Smash Bros. Brawl, rather than the casual stuff that we’re seeing a lot of on the DS. He also mentioned Metroid Prime 3: Corruption in the context of the using the Wii remote and nunchuk as a controller for first person shooters: “Metroid Prime is not out yet, so this is just the opinion of testers, but it’s being rated close to the keyboard and mouse control that’s the standard for PC games.” It was even suggested EA will be able to use it in the new ways for its sports games (like they did with Madden NFL 07).
Mr. Iwata at last revealed how well the Wii’s Virtual Console is performing with 3.3 million games sold worldwide through the download service. No details per game or platform were given.
IGN also translated a slight reference Mr. Iwata made to future Nintendo hardware: “It’s possible that the market will suddenly change. This is why our hardware development team is considering a variety of things.” Perhaps this is the mystical GameBoyCube or a Wii 2 AKA Wiiii!
