WhiteWolf Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 During an interview with IGN, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime defended Wii U's value proposition for consumers this Fall. As we reported earlier, Nintendo will cut the price of Wii U by $50 in the US starting September 20. So we asked Reggie what are the incentives for consumers to choose Nintendo, especially since their home console is $100 cheaper than its closest competitor. “It’s all about the games. The competitive systems have announced their launch lineups. I’m allowed to say ‘Meh,’” Fils-Aime said. “I look at our lineup of titles and I feel good about our lineup. We’ve got Zelda. We’ve got Mario. We’ve got Donkey Kong. In addition to great titles like Pikmin 3 and Wonderful 101, I feel very good about our lineup, and I feel very good about the value proposition we’re putting out there for the consumer.” But Nintendo’s competition is also adding new technologies to the home console experience. They are introducing services like cloud gaming, cross-platfrom play between handheld and home systems, the ability to buy a single game that can be shared on a home and handheld platforms. How does Nintendo plan to compete with those services?In response, Fils-Aime continued to hammer the point that, in the end, all the consumer cares about is great games and great experiences. “We’ve got cloud technology that we’re delivering with Wii U. Nintendo TVii is all cloud-based technology. But the difference is, we don’t talk about the tech. We talk about the experience. We make sure that the consumer has fun with the game experiences that we provide, “ Fils-Aime told IGN. “And so I think as you compare and contrast Nintendo with other players in the space, for us it’s about games, about the fun, about the entertainment value, and not about the tech http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/08/28/nintendo-president-on-ps4-xbox-one-launch-lineups-meh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of them is a remake. Two of them already out and pretty much bombed. That leaves you with Mario and Donkey Kong to salvage a dead console which no one wants thats 50 bucks cheaper than an vastly technological superior console with guaranteed 3rd party support for life. Good luck with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bird Bird Bird Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Gotta agree with Reggie. Next-gen line-up is kinda fail. Already got my money's worth on the Wii U with Rayman Legends (master race version is the Wii U version, believe!) and Wonderful 101 (thank you based Kamiya). Throw in Donkey Kong, Mario and Pikmin and the Virtual Console and it's got a lot going for it, well for me at least. Sucks that they don't think India as a region exists.Tell me about it. Want to buy it on EMI, but WHERE ? ;__; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
