Reggie Fils-Aime on Mobile Games and DeNA
Nintendo has done a complete 180 when talking mobile gaming. Reggie Fils-Aime didn’t believe in the platform back in 2010 when Polygon interviewed him. This is what he had to say about mobile gaming back then.
“Clearly, it doesn’t look like their platform is a viable profit platform for game development because so many of the games are free versus paid downloads. If our games represent a range between snacks of entertainment and full meals depending on the type of game, (Apple’s) aren’t even a mouthful, in terms of the gaming experience you get.”
Fast forward to E3 2015. What does Reggie have to say about mobile gaming this point, now that Nintendo has gotten into the business.
“We’re going to do it in a partnership with DeNA. DeNA has technical knowledge that we’re leveraging. They have a rapid iteration process to drive improvement in the content that we’re going to leverage, but Nintendo is going to create the content. We’ve announced that Mr. Kono, from Mario Kart fame, is going to be our lead developer on this.
And so from that standpoint things haven’t changed. It’s our IP, we’re going to leverage it and we do believe done properly it’s going to drive a positive experience with the IP and drive people back to our core video system business whether it’s handheld or console.”

Reggie Hints at the New 3DS Coming to the U.S., Exclusive N3DS Software Coming
Nintendo of America president and COO Reggie Fils-Aime has strongly hinted the New Nintendo 3DS model with come to the United States. He also stated that the New Nintendo 3DS will be getting exclusive software as digital downloads.
“So we’ve got nothing to announce here. We’ve certainly taken note of all of the readers and consumers that expressed desire for the base model. We analyzed the results in Japan and saw the lion’s share of the volume was on the XL model, and that’s with no 2DS existing in the Japanese market.”
“And so as we thought about what’s the best line-up for us we thought the new XL and 2DS would be our best line-up. Not going to make any promises but, you know, I would suggest to your readers that they stay tuned and maybe some special SKUs might show up.”
It also seems that some eShop exclusive titles on the way that will be New 3DS/XL only.
“There are digital games coming out that are specific to New Nintendo 3DS.”

Shigeru Miyamoto Details why Wii U Failed, Hoping for a “big hit” with NX
The Wii U has not sold up to Nintendo’s expectations three years into its lifespan. One of the main figures in designing the Wii U, Shigeru Miyamoto, has detailed why the system failed, in addition to saying they are hoping for a “big hit” with the Nintendo NX.
“I think unfortunately what ended up happening was that tablets themselves appeared in the marketplace and evolved very, very rapidly, and unfortunately the Wii system launched at a time where the uniqueness of those features were perhaps not as strong as they were when we had first begun developing them.
“So what I think is unique about Nintendo is we’re constantly trying to do unique and different things. Sometimes they work, and sometimes they’re not as big of a hit as we would like to hope.”
Miyamoto continued on saying the company is already hard at work on their next system, codenamed NX, which will get a reveal in 2016.
“After Wii U, we’re hoping that next time it will be a very big hit.”
Reggie Fils-Aime and Metroid Prime producer Kensuke Tanabe have already stated the NX is a home console.
