People keep asking him about it and he is just answering their questions.
It actually is. WiiU came out after Nintendo's 7th gen console. That means the WiiU is 8th gen, just like the PS4 and Xbox One. There is no such thing as a mid gen console. We are eight console generations away from the release of the first consoles ever. That makes the WiiU, PS4, and XboxOne all 8th gen consoles.
"He's the only person in the games industry that has their games intro with a full screen saying 'a hideo kojima game/production'
for example, most other games the intro says either 'A Naughty Dog production' (Not Bruce Straley/Neil Druckmann)or nothing at all. "
@Minimur12, the studio is called "Kojima Productions".
"The hardcore market doesn't want to be stuck playing old games on the newest console"
Could have fooled me! People still play COD and other games that haven't evolved one bit since the first couple of entries.
Can't be. Because it's being developed by Nintendo and it's not a Sonic title under the Sonic brand.

Quote from SEGA: "As we initiate this new exclusive partnership with the next three titles we believe that Wii U and Nintendo 3DS are ideal platforms to showcase the evolution ...
The deal was actually for 3 exclusive Sonic games. The third one was supposed to be release last year but SEGA pushed the date back.
"No because the nice thing out the series is even if you didn't lime one entry the next will be different and unrelated"
I see a lot of people here who don't seem to grasp this concept. Each numbered entry and it's sequels and/or prequels are treated like a different series. What you see in one Final Fantasy is not going to be in a game with a different number.
On the list of upcoming Nintendo games, it tells you the year of release.

Hyrule Warriors

Bayonetta 2

They all have 2014 next to them. Also, Hyrule Warrior's Japanese trailer stated 2014.
Oh, okay. Miiverse on smart devices is actually a really good idea.
I don't get it. What would connecting to your NNID to a smart device do? How would it interact with your Nintendo devices? They need to explain this.
I'm excited for games being linked to accounts instead of hardware though. Iwata said that they will continue to support BC in future hardware, that could potentially mean you never have to leave your digital games behind when you move to the next generation, as you do with other consoles.
I was going to ask the same thing. I understand the WiiU but I'm surprised they canceled it for the 3DS too.
Not happening.
From the article: "However, if you report that we will release Mario on smart devices, it would be a completely misleading statement.”
@Pat_11_5, but the last part of his statement rules out the possibility of them releasing anything major. Don't expect a full fledged Mario game on your mobile device, you will be severely disappointed.
The author of this article should have chose a different title.
They technically didn't say anything specific. Here is the quote from Iwata, "I have not given any restrictions to the development team, even not ruling out the possibility of making games or using our game characters. However, if you report that we will release Mario on smart devices, it would be a completely misleading statement.”
Sounds to me like they will release apps featuring their characters but they won't be full fledged games. He is basically saying tha...
Title is misleading. Nintendo didn't confirm anything. The article states that Nintendo didn't give any specifics and Iwata did not confirm it directly.
No, read the article.
"This doesn’t mean that Nintendo’s characters will appear on other platforms as Iwata clearly specified that won’t happen."
They aren't dropping support, just talking about future plans. Iwata said that they're still sticking with the WiiU.
The games will be exclusive to Nintendo hardware.
Nintendo already has a machine for that. It's called the 3DS.
The first couple of comments on here point out that Vgchartz is not always accurate.
