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.

the wii u sucked, had 1 for 2 months and after about 3 weeks it collected dust.. very few online multiplayer, very few NEW original titles, developers slamming them because they have to downgrade games to work on the system, no thanks.. this "secret new type of games" would have to cleam my house and cook for me before I get another wii u

They should really just cut their loses and go under or make a decent console at this point. The WiiU was a flop, let it go.

I can't wait to see the outcome.

This might actually help Nintendo get sales going again!

Brand new types of games? Seems like that will be something different for Nintendo instead of just the same old first party games they have had for years.

Australians As long as there not FPS's, then we're cool.


Hopefully not. FPS games on the Wii or Wii U just don't seem fit. Hopefully these games are like something new we haven't seen and like a whole new series.
