Aside from its codename, we know little about Nintendo's in-development "NX" console. Yesterday, however, Japanese publication Nikkei claimed to have hit upon a particularly juicy detail about the next-gen gaming system, with its sources stating the NX will run some form of Google's Android OS. The rumor wasn't exactly far-fetched, given Nintendo's plans to get into mobile games this year; but alas, it appears to have been a blast of hot air. Today, a Nintendo spokesperson's commented on the hearsay -- or rather, shot it down in flames -- declaring "There is no truth to the report saying that we are planning to adopt Android for NX." Denials don't get much clearer than that, but hopefully whatever platform Nintendo's outfitting the NX with will be less Wii U, more 200cc.

With E3 starting next week, we're going to hear plenty of news from companies like Microsoft, Sony and yes, Nintendo. The company's Digital Event on June 16th promises new games for the handheld 3DS, making this a great time to upgrade to aNew 3DS or 3DS XL. The latest 3DS offers improved 3D capabilities, built-in NFC support for your Amiibo figures and even a new C stick and ZL and ZR buttons for more control options. Nintendo has also said that some future games will only work on a new 3DS, making an upgrade necessary if you want to play some of the latest titles. While we certainly enjoyed the New 3DS' added features in our review, we'd like to know how it actually worked out for our readers. If you've picked up a New 3DS or 3DS XL since its release, let us know how you've been enjoying it by writing a reviewon its product page. We'll do a roundup of the best user reviews to find out if this upgrade is worth your hard-earned scratch.

Nintendo's 3DS handheld has sold more than 15m units in the US life-to-date, Nintendo of America has announced.
The milestone accounts for all iterations of the 3DS sold in the US, with the company stating its the eighth Nintendo platform to hit the figure.
That said, Games Industry notes that the 3DS is still trailing the performance of its predecessors by a fairly wide margin. Nintendo reported in March that the system had sold a total of 17.5m units in the Americas over five fiscal years. The DS moved 29.9m units across 10 years, the Game Boy Advance sold 41.6m over seven years, and the original Nintendo Game Boy sold 44m units over a span of only five years.
Still, the 3DS has been gaining sales momentum this year – thanks in major part to the February launch of the New 3DS. Hardware sales for the handheld have been up more than 50 per cent year-over-year over the first six months of 2015.
Nintendo of America executive VP of sales and marketing Scott Moffitt spoke on the handheld's positive results – especially in recent times.
"While crossing 15 million units is certainly a significant milestone, we are equally excited about the new momentum we've created in 2015 thanks to new hardware and an unrivaled library of software," Moffitt said.
"With more great games on the way and a hardware system for every type of gamer, 2015 is shaping up to be one of the stronger years yet for Nintendo 3DS in the United States."

Earlier today, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata took to Twitter to discuss why he will not personally be present at E3 this year. Here’s a translation of Iwata’s tweets:
image: http://www.siliconera.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/IWATA_MII_thumb.jpg
 [Iwata] Good morning, everyone. E3 is finally starting. E3 is the games industry’s biggest trade fair, which takes place once a year in Los Angeles. From today on, during E3 I’ll be tweeting using the Nintendo Official account with the hashtag #Iwatter.[Iwata] Because of the operation I underwent in June last year, I’ve become a little thin. My weight has more or less remained the same since I left the hospital and it seems as though I’ll be able to maintain this figure, so I decided to update my official Mii to reflect my present condition. Please be kind to it.[Iwata] With the exception of last year, I’ve been going to E3 every year. However, as there’s no new hardware to present this year and considering the fact that a general meeting of shareholders is planned for the week following E3, I will remain in Japan this year. My role at E3 this year is to relay everything happening at E3 to everyone that’s in Japan.

It should come as no surprise, given Nintendo's propensity for creating Mario games, that the company can't stop making Amiibo based on its most-famous character. Since the NFC toy line was introduced last November, we've already seen five: Super Smash Bros. Mario, Mario Party Mario, Gold Mario, Silver Mario and Dr. Mario. Thanks to an email from Nintendo Spain (first spotted byNintendo Inquirer), it appears there's going to be a sixth: 8-bit Mario. The newsletter included an image of the retro-styled figurine along with a shot of an unannounced Animal Crossing collection that'll feature at least four characters from the series.

The senior manager of marketing in Nintendo of America’s licensing department has urged the company’s fans to be a bit more adventurous with the digital content they buy.
"It seems like a lot of the Nintendo fans and consumers they gravitate towards nostalgia, they gravitate towards platformer and puzzle action games," Damon Baker told Gamasutra. "If I had one wish to be fulfilled, I would love to see Nintendo fans and consumers take more risks on eShop."
Nintendo last month offered its first ever Humble Bundle. When asked how well the promotion went, Baker said the platform holder was “quite pleased”, adding: "The main objective of the promotion was really to reach a wider audience, and let as many people know about this great indie content as possible."
However, one thing the company will continue to shy away from is funding indie game development or paying for timed indie exclusives.
"We've given lots of thought to it," Baker claimed. "Nintendo is pretty famous for being pretty tight with our money; we want to be efficient with our funds. We continue to look for other ways to promote that key content, and that stuff we consider to be priority."

Nintendo has promised to do “better” at E3 next year following the angry reaction from many fans to last night’s showing.
“Thank you for watching,” Nintendo president and CEO Satoru Iwata said on Twitter, as translated by one user. “We take opinions of this year's Digital Event seriously and will work to better meet your expectations.”
A Neogaf thread reacting to Nintendo’s Digital Event has now reached 188 pages, most of which comprises statements of disappointment and anger.
“I was literally shaking with anger during that conference. Tears formed in my eyes and my fists were clenched. ‘Announce something,’ I shrieked at my computer,” one especially aggrieved user said. “I'm 31 years old and this was, without a doubt, the worst conference I've ever seen in my life. It's clear that Nintendo is not just done with the Wii U but done with the company. There is no recovering from a conference that bad.
“I loved this company and put my heart and soul into dedicating my gaming life to them. But now, I have nothing. I'm an empty shell.”
By far the most furious response came following the announcement of Metroid Prime: Federation Force. This seems to have been perceived by many fans as a personal insult, especially as rumours had pointed to a possible new ‘proper’ Metroid title from Retro Studios.
So enraged are some that the option simply not to buy Federation Force is not sufficient. Instead, they are demanding that its very creation be abandoned, presumably for fear that its existence alone will be enough to inflict significant emotional wounds.
“With the release of the Wii U and its greater technological capabilities thousands of fans were expecting a new and improved Metroid game. What we got however is a disgrace of a game with the name ‘Metroid’ slapped on the title,” a Change.org petition states.
“This is not the Metroid we asked Nintendo to make. We should let Nintendo know what we really think of the game and make them actually LISTEN to their fans for once. Help us stop this atrocity of a game from bearing the beloved Metroid franchise name and make Nintendo halt production on it.”

Norwegian computer programmer and skydiving champion Kjetil Nordin put over 800 hours of work into researching and crocheting this lovely recreation of the map for Super Mario Bros. 3 World 1. Redditor Buttermynuts spent several minutes making it into this equally lovely GIF.
Anyone with basic crochet skills and a whole lot of free time can make a map out of yarn, but Nordin went several extra miles, researching the exact yarn colours needed to emulate the map—which Reddit points out seems to be for the Super Mario All-Stars version of the game—going as far as to scrap an entire section and restart when the water turned out a bit too purple, as reported by NRK (via IGN).
Redditor AlexKingshill, posting as a friend of the creator, uploaded a slew of lovely shots of the gorgeous piece.

After several months of waiting, Nintendo has released a new update for the Wii U, and it is noteworthy that it is the first so far in 2015 . This is the version 5.4.0 , which brings small but important changes ultimately after. Official information is almost zero, but as users have been able to better understand the true details of this release. We hope that Nintendo continue to work to further enrich the user experience with Wii U.

While we are all focused on E3, developer Marionumber1 released a userland exploit for Wii U triggered by the web browser. This Wii U hack lets you run unsigned userland code.
Wii U hack released
If you are following us and you didn’t update your Wii U to the latest 5.4.0 firmware, your Wii U is vulnerable for this exploit. The libwiiu repository makes it possible to compile C code, embed it inside a webpage then execute it via the web browser on Wii U. At this point, this is mostly aimed for developers and not end users but expect more soon.
<img class="wp-image-26836 size-full" src="http://wololo.net/wagic/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/fotoğraf-3.jpg" alt="Wii U hack - Taken from my 4.0.2 Wii U. Script is premade so don't mind the 5.3.2 there." width="1632" height="1224" />Taken from my 4.0.2 Wii U. Script is premade so don’t mind the 5.3.2 there.
Right now this Wii U hack can be used on firmwares 3.x.x, 4.0.x, 4.1.0, 5.0.0, and 5.1.0 according to the Readme file on the repository though it is confirmed the vulnerability is there on 5.3.2 too. There is still ongoing work for the 5.3.2 firmware. The exploit is not compatible for 5.4.0 firmware users though.
As this is a userland exploit, backup loaders or any modification that requires kernel level access is not possible.
What do you think about this new exploit? Please share your ideas in the comment section below.
Source, Readme, Full Credits and more info at libwiiu repository
Also special thanks to user Adr990 at gbatemp.net to host a website so that i could try the “Hello World” myself on my Wii U.

First official release of Red Falcon, a level editor for the US version of Contra on the NES…
This application lets you edit all 8 levels of the game. You can add sections to extend the length of the levels. You can add, remove and edit enemy types, position and properties. You can modify the color palettes for the background and the sprites, including the cycling colors. You can also change the Green Guys Generator sequences, found in Indoor levels. Several other visual options can assist the user in level design: grids, enemy indexes, enemy outlines, enemy search, player view, etc…
It is released under Mac OS X Mavericks (10.9), but it is backwards compatible down to Mac OS X Leopard (10.5), and should work on Mac OS X Yosemite (10.10). It can be run on 32 bits and 64 bits systems…

Long has been the wait for a completed Dark Half translation, but in association with Eien ni Hen and with the blessings of Klepto Software, Aeon Genesis has pulled it off! AGTP picked up Dark Half about nine months ago after Eien ni Hen talked about it in the Rom-Hacking Histories podcast. Hacking began in earnest when Eien ni Hen turned in a script about four months ago. The end result is the polished, high-quality, and hopefully bug-free translation available now! This one has been a long time coming, so please enjoy it!

After what feels like way too long, and it actually is, since it's been 2 years since the release of issue 7, we are back with issue 8 of the UK N64 Magazine.
This has been a troubled issue for us due to various hard to fix restoration issues that popped up as we went through it. But it is finally completely restored and ready to be released.
We begin with a look at the arcade racer San Francisco Rush. Then we take a peek at the Japanese version of Bomberman 64. From here we go to the review for the cover story: Lylat Wars / Starfox 64. And finally we have a double header with Multi Championship Racing vs Top Gear Rally.

Nintendo design legend Shigeru Miyamoto has openly discussed the Wii U’s market struggles, blaming the machine’s high RRP and the rise of tablets for its inability to take off.
“The price point was one that ended up getting a little higher than we wanted,” the developer told NPR. “But what we are always striving to do is to find a way to take novel technology that we can take and offer it to people at a price that everybody can afford.
“[But] I don't think it's just price, because if the system is appealing enough, people will buy it even if the price is a little bit high. I think with Wii U, our challenge was that perhaps people didn't understand the system.
“Also I think that we had a system that's very unique — and, particularly with video game systems, typically it takes the game system a while to boot up. And we thought that with a tablet-type functionality connected to the system, you could have the rapid boot-up of tablet-type functionality, you could have the convenience of having that touch control with you there on the couch while you're playing on a device that's connected to the TV, and it would be a very unique system that could introduce some unique styles of play.
“I think unfortunately what ended up happening was that tablets themselves appeared in the marketplace and evolved very, very rapidly, and unfortunately the Wii system launched at a time where the uniqueness of those features were perhaps not as strong as they were when we had first begun developing them.
“So what I think is unique about Nintendo is we're constantly trying to do unique and different things. Sometimes they work, and sometimes they're not as big of a hit as we would like to hope. After Wii U, we're hoping that next time it will be a very big hit.”

3DS Custom Firmware “Pasta CFW” has been updated to Version 1.3 (beta3). Most important feature for this update is “Firmlaunch”. Firmlaunch lets you spoof your New 3DS firmware to 9.5 and Old 3DS firmware to 9.6.
Pasta CFW is a custom firmware for 3DS. It lets you install and run unsigned .cia files. It is an open source project and new features are added by every update. Right now, it works up to 9.2 firmwares on both original and new 3ds. It requires a Cubic Ninja cartridge to boot. If you are on 4.x original 3DS, you can also use the DS Profile (MSET) exploit, this way you won’t need Cubic Ninja.
Pasta CFW can do things Gateway can’t (GBA/DSiWare games booting, being able to use SaveDataFiler to extract saves from retail cartridges) and can’t do some things Gateway can (EmuNAND support, MSET support for new 3DS via downgraded system settings, spider entry point for original 3DS). Still Pasta CFW is a good alternative, it doesn’t need a flashcart, it is open source and developers behind it are open to suggestions.
With the latest update, Pasta CFW can use Firmlaunch. “FIRMLAUNCH is a feature that allow launching titles that requires a higher FIRM version that the one you have.” says motezazer, one of the developers of Pasta CFW. Think of it like a firmware spoofer, it is not the same thing but you get the idea. Right now it supports up to 9.5 fw on New 3DS and 9.6 fw on original 3DS. Thanks to this update, Xenoblade Chronicles which need 9.3 firmware finally works on New 3DS via Pasta CFW. As there is still no way to have gateway/custom firmwares on firmwares above 9.2, this feature is a great addition to Pasta CFW. Also WIP features include EmuNAND support and spider entry point. I can’t wait to see these features included in Pasta CFW.

CaH4e3 updated his site with the following new NES dumps:
- Blood Of Jurassic (GD-98)(Unl)[U][!]. As I promised, here is one more dump from a bunch of the carts provided by Oreanor. Judging from the copyright screen, this game was released by company "Paradise Science & Technology Co." in 1997 year, but I haven't seen this game or cart before. The company itself is known for its copyrights on some other pirate originals, mostly known for "97' Hui Gui Gang Jing La Li Sai (Super Hang-On) (GD-97)", where there are the same copyrights are present. Some other games like "F-22", "Alps Skiing", "Underground Mission" or "Monkey King" (can be found now on some OneBus systems like "100-in-1 Arcade Action II (AT-103)" or "12-in-1 Console TV Game Cartridge" I dumped before) has this copyright screen inside its ROMs but disabled and it can't be seen during the game.
This is a Light Gun only game and you can shoot various dinosaurs with your shotgun on 6 different levels. Althougth the game itself seems pretty original, the sound engine clearly stolen from the SunSoft games, maybe some music tracks too, hard to say without digging into it currently.
Most annoying thing about this game, even if this working under regular MMC3 (mapper 4), it has some copy protection scheme on board which is used for decrypting some game code and integrity checks.
So, the protection is emulated now, added to FCEUmm and FCEUX repositories, and a fresh build of FCEUmm is uploaded to the site (maybe I'll abandon it soon in favor of using FCEUX only)...
UPD: I noticed, that "97' Hui Gui Gang Jing La Li Sai (Super Hang-On) (GD-97)" dump in current romset is a fixed deprotected one (actually, I have recieved this dump a long time ago and have seen its protection, but couldn't do anything with it without a real cart to tests), there is an original protected version "97' Hui Gui Gang Jing La Li Sai (Super Hang-On) (Ch)" and it has the same type of protection as GD-98 cart, but my current implementation seems lack something inportant in particular or there are another prot data read from cart, so probably I need this cart too to improve protection emulation of this type of carts...

CaH4e3 updated his site with the following new NES dumps:
- Battle Tank (R)[!], Billiard (Side Pocket)(R)[new!]. Thanks a lot for providing his carts and apartment for dump to our today sponsor Oreanor! He has a lot of interesting carts, which I couldn't access for two last years from him, but this time I finally managed to do that. Too much dumps for a single post, so I decided to put most of it now, and the rest and the best a little later, when I finish with protection and mapper emulation.
So, let's start with the most exciting russian version of "Battle Tank" from the 1996 year made by "Magic Inc." who the hell they are. Most of text and interface are translated excluding only the title screen itself. So one more russians from the list dumped, nice. The second dump was already dumped and released here before, but this time it have one-byte difference, which is the same as in original US version, so maybe previous dump was some kind of broken, probably it was flashed with such wrong byte initially. So put this version for sake the great justice.
- Tank (Caltron, CN-16)(Unl)[!], Dream Fighter (Caltron, CN-17)(Unl)[!]. Recently, TeamEurope dumped two single-cart versions of ASDER/NTDEC games with NTDEC copyrights on its titles, only available previously on "20-in-1 Asder" multigame carts. There is at least one more known single cart dump of "Dream Fighter" known as well, with ASDER copirights on the title. These two new dumps has the title copyrights for CALTRON itself, but nothing really other seems different. These carts are popped out on the auctions a lot of times, so I don't know why they are still undumped.
- Metroid - Jin Ji Zhi Ling (FDS Conversion)(Kaiser)(KS7037)[U][!], Super Mario Bros. 4 (FDS Conversion)(Unl)[!]. Both these dumps was dumped by our chinese friends a long time ago and its mappers are supported in FCEUmm/FCEUX for a long time either. Now I have posessed the physical carts and tried to redump them to be sure all dumps is ok. Dumps are matched and so they are ok now to be released.  Both are some kind of rare conversions of the FDS versions to the Cartridge format. Metroid is missed a lot of stuff, and I don't know how this supposed to be played without passwords (which has not available in this version) and saves (which was removed during conversion). Mario is a hevily hacked version of SMB2j by Kaiser.
- Bravesoft Windows 2000 (R)[!], Poker (1995)[p1][!], 125-in-1 [p1][!]. Finally, some more trash. Win 2000 by "Bravesoft" is the same "Subor Win 2000" i dumped before, but with different title screen. Both in russian language. Many of them are dumped, most of them has similar set of programms, all of them work on the same 178 mapper. Pocker is complete version of the pirate copy of the Pocker by Hacker Int. with full set of naked pictures, as against the "1991" version, which hasn't (either because of a bad dump or a reduced game EPROM)
A multigame is just for fun, since it's generic 176 mapper with 3Mb of data on board. Better supported in FCEUmm rather than FCEUX now due some reasons.

byuu has released his new version of his multi-system (NES, SNES, Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance) and subsystems (Super Game Boy, BS-X Satellaview, Sufami Turbo) emulator higan (formally bsnes).
Quote:
Obviously, this is a fairly major WIP. It´s the first public release in 17 months. The entire UI has been rewritten (for the 74th time), and is now internally called tomoko. The official releases will be named higan (both the binaries and title bar.)
Missing features from v094:
* ananke is missing (this means you will need v094 to create game folders to be loaded)
* key assignments are limited to one physical button = one mapping (no multi-mapping)
* shader support is missing
* audio/video profiling is missing
* DIP switch window is missing (used by NSS Actraiser with a special manifest; that´s about it)
* alternate paths for game system folders and configuration BML files

Just a little update from Shonumsi emulator gbe-plus, the successor of his emulator GB Enhanced
From the github
|
[Qt] Added the ability to launch games.
This brings back some of the nasty threading issues squashed a few days ago. Hopefully when SDL is no longer used for video in the Qt port, this will go away. Fwiw, the issue seems particular to the Advance Wars intro. Probably happens in other games, but I've yet to see it (it's an X11 threading issue, maybe doesn't happen on Windows/OS X?) |

Project64 Git (2015/06/22) is compiled. Project 64 is a proprietary Nintendo 64 emulator for Windows. It employs a plug-in system that allows third-party software developers to create their own implementation of a specified component. Project64 allows the user to play Nintendo 64 games on a computer by reading ROM images, either dumped from the read-only memory of a Nintendo 64 cartridge or created directly on the computer as homebrew. Project64 started as an exercise by Jabo and zilmar in an attempt to see if they were capable of programming a Nintendo 64 emulator. It's open source now.
Project64 Git Changelog:
* Merge pull request #514 from Nekokabu/master
Support Shiren 64 Save
* Fix Jangou Simulation Mahjong Dou 64 freeze
Fixed a read from over than ROM file.

Cen64 Git (2015/06/10) is compiled. Cen64 is a Cycle-Accurate Nintendo 64 Simulator.
Cen64 Git Changelog:
* Fix a serious typo.
* Add (initial) audio support.
"It's a meeee, Mario!"
There's no resampler as of yet, so we just tell OpenAL
that everything is 44.1KHz for the time being. In the
future, a resampler thread will be created and things
won't sound as bad as they do in this commit.
* Update 8303 CIC checksum.
* Add a temporary hack for the CACHE instruction.
When a CACHE instruction uses a mapped virtual address,
and a TLB miss results... just ignore it! Clearly, this
isn't the right thing to do, but all documentation is
ambiguous and this seems to float the boat for now.
* VI: Save processor context before using floats.
* VR4300: Minor optimization.
* VR4300: CACHE instructions can't cause TLB Mod.
* VR4300: Minor pipeline optimizations.
* Prevent a possible crash on Windows/SSE2 builds.
* Workaround an X11 keypress issue?
* Work on cleaning up the build system somewhat.
* Mutexes seem to result in better performance?
* Commit the new WinAPI user interface.
Streamline the Windows version of the source. There is
some breakage with regard to the console window and other
odds and ends.
* More cleanup/streamlining of UI pullup.
* Commit the new X11 user interface.
Streamline the design/layout of the UI code. An excellent,
unexpected side-effect of this commit resulted in a significant
increase in performance...
* Fix comment styles and such things.
* Refactor windowing component of VI.
* Start working in the new interfaces.
Seriously broken WinAPI stuff, no input, no multi-
threading a bunch of other terrible stuff (yet).
* Add low-level memory allocation interfaces.
* Migrate keycodes into new directories.
* Commit a WinAPI implementation of cen64_gl_*.
* Commit an X11 implementation of cen64_gl_*.
This cen64_gl_* common API will eventually replace the OS-
dependent windowing setup disaster that occurs when we currently
bringup CEN64.
* Add a function to save/restore hostregs.
* Various small optimizations.

RSP Git (2015/06/08) is compiled. RSP is a plugin for Project64.
RSP Git Changelog:
* Do the same commit as before, but with `rt'/`vt'.
* Do the same commit as before, but for `rs'/`vs' this time.
* Optimize register allocation and timing: Do not set rd globally.
My old reasoning behind that method was that the compiler would decide where to inline setting rd within which switch cases on my own, but now I can see it best plainly to decide for myself where rd should be locally initialized. This also helps prevent the problem of assigning a bitmask to the rd register specifier as an unnecessary precaution for op-codes that don't even access register[rd].

Early Access games could become a reality on all three console platform following Nintendo’s confirmation of interest.
"We don't have anything to announce, but I can say that we're certainly exploring options and capabilities," Nintendo of America’s third-party relations and indie development boss Damon Baker told Polygon. "So anything is possible. I guess the important part of it is we're very conscious of it and definitely looking at it.
"Working out some of the kinks, the server loads or what matching those expectations so that it's a prime experience when it does, when the full version actually launches. So there could be some benefits there, but I think it's a very sensitive topic, because you wouldn't ever want to ask for money for something that doesn't become fully-realized."
Microsoft announced and launched an Xbox One Early Access program at E3 last week. Sony, meanwhile, announced its interest in such ventures over a year ago, although nothing has yet come to fruition.
Early Access is a common feature of PC platform Steam, although despite a number of big hits there have also been some high-profile failures and widespread concerns about consumer protection.

An anonymous reader writes with a Georgia Institute of Technology report that researchers there have createda computing system that views gameplay video from streaming services like YouTube or Twitch, analyzes the footage and then is able to create original new sections of a game. The team tested their discovery, the first of its kind, with the original Super Mario Brothers, a well-known two-dimensional platformer game that will allow the new automatic-level designer to replicate results across similar games.Rather than the playable character himself, the Georgia Tech system focuses instead on the in-game terrain. "For example, pipes in the Mario games tend to stick out of the ground, so the system learns this and prevents any pipes from being flush with grassy surfaces. It also prevents "breaks" by using spatial analysis – e.g. no impossibly long jumps for the hero."

A second of Nintendo’s highest profile executives has said that Nintendo is not convinced by the current virtual reality boom.
"The current types of virtual reality aren't really a good fit for Nintendo's philosophy of trying to create entertainment that people can play together in the living room," development boss Shigeru Miyamoto told Yahoo.
"We're constantly looking at different technology and experimenting with different elements of it, but we're not feeling virtual reality is currently in a place where it's ready to be released – as a product that fits with our philosophy of fitting in the living room."
The comments follow similar sentiments from Nintendo’s American boss Reggie Fils-Aime, who said earlier this month at E3: "What we believe is that, in order for this technology to move forward, you need to make it fun and you need to make it social.
“I haven't walked the floor, so I can't say in terms of what's on the floor today, but at least based on what I've seen to date, it's not fun, and it's not social. It's just tech."

Fans left disappointed by Nintendo’s anaemic E3 showing should not worry about ongoing software support for their current systems, the platform holder says.
“The NX is new hardware, and will start from zero. However, the 3DS and Wii U have install bases. Immediately cutting off software for previous hardware upon the release of a new machine is inefficient,” Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has told investors, according to a Twitter translation.
“We will continue making 3DS/Wii software while preparing for the NX. We are prioritizing satisfying customers who purchased the Wii U.”
Some suspect that Wii U owners may have little in the way of new software to come, what with the scarcity of announcements at E3 and Nintendo’s decision to announce that development has begun on its next machine. The company has also had to dispel fears that its next Zelda game has dropped the Wii U.
Iwata has reiterated, however, that the only reason the NX was announced so early was to dispel fears that the company may abandon home consoles in the wake of news that it is branching into mobile.
“The NX was announced then to indicate that we are not retreating from game platforms and will continue the hardware business,” he added. “Normally, the announcement would've been made later. It was like revealing a magic trick ahead of time.”
Iwata has previously hinted that the NX could exist alongside the Wii U and 3DS, although the statement was certainly open to interpretation.

Nintendo development boss Shigeru Miyamoto is not leading development of the NX, it has been revealed.
“I’ve pulled myself back out of some of the hardware section and I’m really focused on some of the software that I’m involved in – for example, the new Starfox game,” he toldForbes. “Of course I am observing and looking at the hardware, but I am not actively participating and making decisions.”
The site added that the early reception from third party partners to the hardware following behind-closed-doors briefings at E3 earlier this month were ‘positive’.
“For us, the next step is to think about what is going to be that element that is really going to catch the attention of a large number of players again and get them excited,” Shinya Takahashi of Nintendo’s Software Planning and Development Division added.
“We’re constantly thinking about this idea from the perspective of the players and the needs of the players in terms of what can we can do with our ability and our technology to capture that excitement and passion.”
Miyamoto went on to reiterate the argument he made earlier this month that the surprise of the tablet PC is the chief cause of the Wii U’s failure. The machine is currently the slowest selling home console in the company’s history.
“I feel like people never really understood the concept behind Wii U and what we were trying to do,” he argued. “I think the assumption is we were trying to create a game machine and a tablet and really what we were trying to do was create a game system that gave you tablet-like functionality for controlling that system and give you two screens that would allow different people in the living room to play in different ways.
“Unfortunately, because tablets, at the time, were adding more and more functionality and becoming more and more prominent, this system and this approach didn’t mesh well with the period in which we released it.”

Speaking with Fortune, Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto says he isn’t as involved with designing the Nintendo NX, the company’s next platform.“I’ve pulled myself back out of some of the hardware section and I’m really focused on some of the software that I’m involved in—for example, the new Star Fox game,” Miyamoto said. “Of course I am observing and looking at the hardware, but I am not actively participating and making decisions.”Meanwhile, Shinya Takahashi, who is the general manager of Nintendo’s SPD department—a position previously occupied by company president Satoru Iwata—says that he believes a lot of the excitement that is absent in the case of the Wii U will return when Nintendo share details about the NX.“For us, the next step is to think about what is going to be that element that is really going to catch the attention of a large number of players again and get them excited,” Takahashi said. “We’re constantly thinking about this idea from the perspective of the players and the needs of the players in terms of what can we can do with our ability and our technology to capture that excitement and passion.”

Like a bank foreclosure on Scrooge McDuck's vaults, Nintendo is going to take away all of your Club Nintendo coins - if you don't spend them by 11:59 PM Pacific tomorrow, June 30, that is. The service is shutting down, meaning you have just a little more than 24 hours to log in and grab whatever goodies you can afford with all the digital currency you've been hoarding.
For years, Club Nintendo offered fans a way to earn free games and swag from The House That Mario Built; through this loyalty program, players would register their games to receive virtual coins, which could in turn be used to purchase more games. Sadly, the company announced Club Nintendo's closing in January, which brings us to today's friendly reminder.
Nintendo has yet to reveal Club Nintendo's successor, but we have a list of features we'd like to keep when it rolls around. Art books and bonus swag - are you listening, Nintendo?
