In separate interviews with Newsweek and GamePro, well loved Nintendo games developer Shigeru Miyamoto spoke about third party support and how the Wii will cater for hardcore gamers. Concerning worries that hardcore gamers were going to feel left out by Nintendos newest approach towards the non gaming market Shiggy had to say, other enhancements to the Wii interface and developments being planned that are going to really make games for hardcore players a lot more fun and interesting.
More Inside! A lot of people have the misunderstanding that Nintendo is not interested in network gaming, he added. “”What we are interested in isn’t so much the idea of creating a game that is online and networked in a way that we have seen online up until now””.
Unfortunately Shiggy wasnt able to divulge in any online plans or software and hardware developments at the time as the stock offer that caused so much grief during the GDC is still chugging along in the background.
When talking about Third Parties and how the can enhance there experiences for the consumer Miyamoto said, Partially, I think that once third parties are able to look at these examples [of new interfaces], take their great technical know-how, and combine that with some ideas that they have about how to achieve new ideas that can only be achieved on that particular piece of hardware, then I think they’re going to have the chance to really see some great success…””
If there’s only one piece of advice that I could give to the managers of third party companies, it would be that a lot of times it seems that when they’re putting games out on Nintendo hardware, those games are being developed by their third-string team or their fourth-string team””.
