"I am trying to meet with the game developers individually for this matter. 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.

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. 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. 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."

I'm really blown away at the importance Nintendo is putting on attracting 3rd party. It feels like...after 3 generations of releasing first party showcase systems...they are going back to what made the NES and SNES 2 of the biggest systems ever. More excited than ever.

Interesting.
And while they are at it, I really hope that Nintendo would reach out to even more of those third party/indie developers and work together, the same way they worked with Next Level Games, Monster Games, Tecmo and most lately Platinum Games.

For once, Nintendo is getting quite serious with 3rd party support. This is a very good turn on their behalf.

Because its Miyamoto I am going to assume he is only talking to Japanese Developers which are going to make games that chances are won't leave japan.

Yeah I didn't expect GTA on Wii U. The reality is Nintendo is known as a family friendly company. No matter how many copies zombiU sells nothing is going to change that anytime soon. We should all expect the worse and hope for the best when it comes to 3rd party support for Nintendo home consoles.

This statement is false. The previous statement is true.

RIP in peace Nintendo.

Objection.

If the "family-friendliness" would be a reason why they couldn't get a Rockstar game, then games like No More Heroes would not have appeared on Nintendo consoles.

But can they really convince Rockstar to release a GTA or RDD for the console? How much will the games need to be toned down for the Wii U, and will power even play an issue?

Obviously, the Wii U will get better third party support. But a lot of developers that weren't content with the Wii will most likely just ditch the Wii U too.
No sig.

Sure they were released on the Wii but from what I've heard they have not sold particularly well. In the end it's the sales of these 'mature' titles that is going to convince more developers like Rockstar to get on board.

This statement is false. The previous statement is true.

RIP in peace Nintendo.
