14 DAY TRIAL // Nintendo seems determined to make the Wii U a success and it appears that one of its initiatives will see an expansion in the variety of games launched on the console, which might soon be powered by technologies such as Unity, HTML 5 and JavaScript.
Satoru Iwata, the leader of Nintendo, tells investors that, “We would like to create opportunities for these developers to have their games available for Wii U. We hope that these actions to expand the range of software developers.”
Since it launched, in late 2012, the Wii U has sold less units than Nintendo expected.
It’s unclear whether the new set of smaller games for the console will be launched via the Virtual Console or via a new type of dedicated channel.
Nintendo wants to sell 9 million Wii U devices before the end of March 2014.
