Nintendo Out Of Ideas For The Wii?
August 4th 2008 06:38
Nintendo President, Satoru Iwata, has said in an interview published in the Wall Street Journal that they have exhausted all of their original ideas for the Wi and are unsure of the extent of their ongoing development for the console.
It seems that the plans for the Wii World domination had been drawn up from the very beginning, with Miyamoto originally plotting out the current slew of products. Iwata says "Wii Music completes what Miyamoto wrote in his proposal when he came up with the idea for the Wii. He was saying that he needs to think up more ideas now." In the meantime, it sounds as though everybody at Nintendo has been busy spinning virtual hoola-hoops, "Most of the ideas for accessories that we had initially come up with are out now. We might think up some more, and we might make them if we do, but we don't have any plans to release a whole lot more."
It sounds as though the future of Wii accessories will be left to third party developers if there are to be any. Is this another sign that Nintendo are funnelling their resources into the next iteration of Wii console?

I'd love to buy one. And know that Ninty won't make a big deal about an unapproved device being plugged into the wiimote.
