Nintendo says they still make hardware to perfectly marry their software, think Wind Waker HD shows off GamePad promise
The following comes from a Shacknews interview with Nintendo of America senior director of corporate communications Charlie Scibetta.
"Nintendo systems come to life the best when the hardware and software work in perfect harmony. That's why we're still in the hardware business, because we think our hardware is the best way to bring software to life. It's tuned perfectly for that. When Mario bounces from mushroom to mushroom, it feels so responsive because the software has been tuned especially for that hardware
For Nintendo, having the second screen built right into the hardware means there's no learning cure, no lag, no technology curve to try and figure out how to use it. When you talk about other companies utilizing a second screen, for us we wanted to have it built right in, that ensures that the software comes to life the way it was intended to be by the designer.
I think that one game that we have in the booth here that does a lot of interesting things with the capabilities of Wii U is The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD. You can use the GamePad to take photographs, to write messages, and you can use Miiverse which is our online service, and you can actually put those screenshots in a Tingle bottle and send them out."
