Nintendo to announce secret “brand-new types of games” for Wii U soon

4.8
Nintendo didn’t really have much in the way of surprises at E3, and that’s because, as Satoru Iwata says, they wanted to focus on the “video game fans that are eager for information on so-called traditional games” at the show. But they have more in store for this year than just the stuff they discussed at June’s Nintendo Direct, including “new types of games.”

n a meeting with investors recently, Iwata discussed these secret games and explained why they haven’t talked about them yet. “When it comes to brand-new types of games, we have to announce them not too far in advance of the actual release dates in order to have a strong impact in the market and minimize the chance of others introducing similar or competing products. We are working on new types of games, but we would like to announce them much closer to their actual release timings for this reason.

“When it comes to Wii, as ‘Wii Sports’ spread throughout the world at a sensational speed, some misunderstood that all Wii could do is enable them to play games by moving the Wii Remote. With Wii U, therefore, we planned to satisfy existing video game fans first and provide new surprises later.”

Iwata makes it clear that some of these games he’s talking about will be released within the next year or so. But what could they be? Hmmmmmmm.

Meanwhile, in the same talk with investors, Iwata discussed the absence of the vitality sensor.

Woobie I'm thinking more shooter games.. or something less strenuous on the body.


Shooters on the Wii U just doesn't really fit. Metroid and Star Fox are the only shooters that seem fit. Games like CoD don't belong on the Wii U in my opinion.


Shooters are not very good on the Wii U :/ i have tried loads


I haven't tried any shooters on the Wii other than Metroid Prime. I haven't owned a Wii U yet but I have watched a few CoD gameplays for the Wii and Wii U and it was not looking good at all.

TFM WiiU needs to get its stuff in order.


How does announcing that they are putting out new games make them need to get their stuff in order? I don't get that logic, if anything this is an up for them. Puts more games on the market for the Wii U. I know the Wii U is doing bad on sales but this could increase sales on the console slightly.

oSkill Wont even help WiiU out, it was a gonner from the start.


The main reason that the WiiU isn't selling very well is the lack of games. I think that if a wide range of good games are released for the WiiU it will still have a chance in the console market.


I was under the impression that the Wii U had a lot of games out, just not games that people really wanted to play.
