Naka - Nintendo/Microsoft/Sony hardware might not exist in the future, Wii U interest, no more Wii games
A portion of a Siliconera interview Yuji Naka...
S: When you look ten years in the future, 2021, what do you think will change?
YN: I think ten years later, the various consoles and platforms from Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony may not exist. Instead of buying specific hardware perhaps everything will migrate to software based systems like PC, iOS, and Android.
S: Do you have a Wii U development kit yet? Are you thinking about moving on to that platform?
YN: I don’t have a development kit right now. [Laughs.] Please ask Nintendo to send me one! Or maybe Bandai Namco Games can send me one. I would really like a chance to play with that hardware. Right now there probably aren’t many development kits.
S: Are you still making Wii games?
YN: No, none right now. I would really like people to play Fishing Resort and Rodea when it does come out on the Wii. I put a lot of time and effort into making those games. I’m proud of my work with these titles, so I can’t wait to see how the players react when the games are in their hands. I hope everyone who plays Fishing Resort gets to be a Grand Angler.
