Iwata Touches On iPad, Wii HD, 3D Gaming & More

There’s some useful tidbits of information that have surfaced from Nintendo’s financial results briefing this week:

- Golden Sun DS will be released this year;
- Iwata described The Last Story and Xenoblade as “full-scaled RPGs”;
- Nintendo will show software for the Wii Vitality Sensor at E3;
- Super Mario Galaxy 2 will be released this year;
- Zelda Wii will be at E3;

Nothing really new or unexpected there. However, Nintendo boss Satoru Iwata did seem a little unimpressed with Apple’s iPad (me too!), hit the link…

Iwata on the iPad…

“It was a bigger iPod Touch. There were no surprises for me.”

Iwata denying the motions sensing DS successor and Wii HD rumors…

“I question whether those features would be enough to get people to buy new machines.”

(Iwata did acknowledge that the company is working on new systems)

Iwata on 3D gaming…

“I have doubts whether people will be wearing glasses to play games at home. How is that going to look to other people?”
