Nintendo: We’re “always developing new hardware”

Nintendo President Saturu Iwata engaged in a Q&A posted to Nintendo’s website and confirmed that the company is “always developing new hardware”.

“The most difficult question for us to answer in public in concrete terms is when we are going to launch our new hardware and what kind of hardware we are going to launch, and I am afraid that I cannot talk about this in more detail,” Iwata said. “However, I can certainly assure you that we are not at a dead end of any kind in which we are out of ideas for developing new hardware.

“We will continue to work hard to ensure that consumers who already own our platforms are satisfied, and make sure that people will continue to see great value in our software, but I would like to say that we are preparing for our next hardware system, and in fact, we already have a clear idea to some extent about the direction our next hardware is going to take.”

Do you think this is foreshadowing a new console announcement at this year’s E3?

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.
