Nintendo’s Satoru Iwata announced that his company has a number of games for the 3DS is shoved up to 2012, while the games already are. There appear so many games around christmas, it doesn’t make sense there are more on the market, thinks Iwata.
Nintendo has the content of a vraaggespek with Satoru Iwata published. The director of the Japanese consolebouwer answered the questions after the presentation of the disappointing figures, which a week ago announced. Iwata makes it clear that his company is the introduction of a number of games for the Nintendo 3DS postponed until 2012. The relevant games are, but Iwata don’t want it on the market because there are, in its opinion, already too many games to appear in the christmas season. More games on the market, according to the ceo makes no sense; it will be the total number of 3DS games around the christmas sold will not increase. Nintendo brings this year including Super Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart 7 on the market. Kid Icarus: Uprising, Luigi’s Mansion 2, Paper Mario and Animal Crossing will appear in 2012.
Iwata said in the interview was also his hope that Western publishers in 2012, more hardcore games for the 3DS on the market, though, he gets the publishers to wait until there are more handhelds are sold. According to the director, starts the sales of the 3DS, however, to attract and he expected, therefore, that Western publishers to quickly ‘on board will jump’. At the same time sets Iwata that the current situation offers opportunities for Japanese developers. Because Western publishers are reluctant, have Japanese studios are more likely to attack with their games. The studio’s in the country, will also continue to games for the 3DS development because the market for handheldgames in Japan is much greater than in the West, sets Iwata.
Nintendo released the 3DS early this year on the market, but the group had to admit that the sale is clean. The consolebouwer responded with a price cut, which according to Iwata also contributed to the profit warning a week ago had issue. The company makes less profit on the handheld.
