Nintendo these days are eagerly waiting for another great idea from their director,  Shigeru Miyamoto. Miyamoto is the man who’s responsible forthe arise of Nintendo in the gaming industry with his own innovative ideas. He also responsible for the creation of Mario and Zelda in which are the big sellers for Nintendo. “Mario in particular has a game in practically every genre in the industry. Including spin-off and sports titles, Mario and his cohorts have been the stars of more than 20 games. Zelda comes in with a comparatively modest total title tally of 13.

“With the dissapointing E3 performance this year, Nintendo is relying on Miyamoto to have another golden idea up his sleevewhich is probably the reason behind Nintendo prohibiting Miyamoto from telling the public about his ideas or even hobbies.

Recently, a company called “HillcrestLabs” filled multiple lawsuits against Nintendo claiming that the Wiimote is too similar to their product called the “Loop.” If the patent infringement lawsuit against the Gamecube and Classic controllers wasn’t enough, now Nintendo has to deal with this. The video above will give you in dept details and information about this problem Nintendo is facing.

You might be thinking that it’s too soon for a successor of the Wii especially with the shortages they have ontop of that. Iwata, the CEO of Nintendo, is freely talking about the next Nintendo system.

Nintendo, as you might expect, is approaching things a bit differently. President Satoru Iwata freely admits the company is already working on the Wii’s successor. However, he adds that he doesn’t view the hardware as particularly interesting.

“We are always preparing for the next hardware,” Iwata says. “We are under development. … But the hardware is a kind of box that consumers reluctantly buy in order to play our games.”

To that end, Nintendo will keep its development well under wraps until Wii sales dry up–in other words, not anytime soon–and developers run out of ways to utilize the system’s interface.
Nintendo, though, is in an unusual position. With the company’s huge success with the current-generation console, consumers are going to expect a lot from it whenever the successor to the Wii is unveiled.

“Every hardware needs some revolutionary features,” Iwata says. “This time around, it happened to be we had a revolutionary user interface. Will it be the same for the next generation? I really can’t tell.

“It’s natural for the current customer to expect Nintendo is going to once again do something different,” he continues. “If the people are expecting so many different things from Nintendo, it’s going to be difficult for us to go beyond that expectation again.”
