Satoru Iwata, president of Nintendo Company Limited, recently spoke with Mercury News in regards to the company’s next home console. A few different topics were covered, but the big news to come out of the interview is that gamers will be able “to connect Wii U with a home TV capable of displaying 3-D images…but that’s not the area we are focusing on.” Iwata reminded gamers that the publisher has the 3DS specifically to cover that technological aspect, but it’s nice to hear that 3D is “technologically” possible with the Wii U.
Continuing, Iwata-san mentioned that “when it comes to the home console, it depends upon the availability of 3-D TV sets at home, which, unfortunately, is not expanding enough. And rather than pouring a lot of energy into that kind of area, with the Wii U we’d like to focus more on each Wii U owner being able to have an equal opportunity to enjoy it.” A very Nintendo-like answer, to be sure. Still, the 3D capability will be in the box for any developer that wants to take advantage of it. More features is always a good thing.
