The Nintendo NX won’t be “the next version of Wii or Wii U”

Nintendo President and CEO Tatsumi Kimishima has stressed that the upcoming Nintendo NX won’t be “the next version of Wii or Wii U”.

“As far as NX goes, I’ve said it’s different and obviously a new experience,” Kimishima said, speaking with Time.

“It’s something unique and different,” he continued. “It’s something where we have to move away from those platforms in order to make it something that will appeal to our consumer base.”

Kimishima-san also acknowledged that his company needs a clear strategy to keep brand confusion down, acknowledging “how difficult it is to explain to the consumer base what is different and new about the new hardware. It’s difficult to convince them to switch from their current platform to the next platform.”

We’ll have more on the Nintendo NX as it becomes available.
