It seems that Miyamoto has been meeting personally with developers to encourage them to work with Nintendo's new console. "I am trying to meet with the game developers individually for this matter," he says, asked how the company will be supporting other developers that want to get the best out of the hardware. "The real subject is whether I’ll be able to - we’ll be able to - convince developers inside of the licensing publishers to be excited about the new features of the Wii U, so much so that they’ll be enthused towards making brand new entertainment that I couldn't come up with myself."

It's no secret to anyone that third-party developers struggled to get the most out of the Wii - almost all of the system's truly great games came from within Nintendo's own stables. But Miyamoto does not think that third-party developers lack the know-how to make the most out of the hardware; far from it.

"When it comes to technologies and techniques and skills necessary for working on Wii U, [and] what we can provide, I can count on them that they already have that. They know how to do that," Miyamoto asserts. "They are always skilful, and actually they must have some different know-how from what we have. There might be some misunderstanding - as if Nintendo alone had some special know-how, and because Nintendo has not shared those unique, secret protocols with other, third-party publishers have not been able to create the exciting, unique gameplay on Nintendo hardware. But that was not the case."


"The fact of the matter is that most third-party licensees from a business point of view, had to create multi-platform titles – and because Nintendo has been trying to create very unique hardware, oftentimes it was not considered the first choice for them to work on multi-platform software," he explains. "So it’s the entire company decision-making process that is hindering developer’s ability from making unique titles on Wii U hardware. Once again, my job as one of the developers is meet with the individual people and convince that they’ll be able to create brand new entertainment that they really wish to realise. My job is to try to assist them in that fashion.
"I do not think that providing any special technologies, know how or skills would be able to change the situation, because I understand that most third-party developers already have those things."
Look out for our full interview with Miyamoto very soon.

I'm honestly happy that Nintendo is changing like this. Back in the Wii/DS era it seem like they only making a profit for themselves and couldn't care less about third party developers. Hopefully this leads to marvelous third party support, titles such as: Resident Evil, Street Fighter, etc. Nintendo seems to be regaining the hardcore gamers that they lost with the Wii.
Please Nintendo don't screw up, make us love you again, make us forget about the Wii.
