The President of Nintendo America Reggie Fils-Aime has recently spoken out about the lack of games available for Wii U this year. He started by admitting that Nintendo have made mistakes but they are planning to rectify this in 2014:
“The way we’re going to be different is, we’re gonna certainly have a steadier pace of games – both for Wii U and for 3DS. The marketing activity is going to be constant throughout the entire year. You tease me a little bit that ‘boy the first half [of 2013] was a little quiet,’ and y’know what, you look back and it was. We’re not going to be making that same mistake in 2014. So the pace, the ongoing activity, touching the consumer, and messaging what we’re all about. That’s going to be a big difference next year.”
This is good news for disappointed Nintendo fans and should give us hope for the company in 2014.
What do you think of Reggie’s statement? Will Nintendo step it up in 2014? Or will the flounder some more?
