Nintendo bossSatoru Iwatahas declaredthat Nintendo has used up all the ideas it had for the Wii when it was first envisioned, and thatWii Musicrepresents the last fresh idea on the Wii’s menu.
“Wii Musiccompletes what Miyamoto wrote in his proposal when he came up with the idea for the Wii,” Iwata told theWall Street Journal.“He was saying that he needs to think up more ideas now.”
“Most of the ideas for accessories that we had initially come up with are out now. We might think up some more, and we might make them if we do, but we don’t have any plans to release a whole lot more.”
I said last year that beyondMario GalaxyandSuper Smash Brothers Brawlthat there didn’t seem to be a lot more in Nintendo’s bag of goodies.Wii Musicwas announced a year ago, and now that it’s out, it seems to be at the vanguard of a very shallow 2008 release schedule. At least we know that theMarioandZeldateams are at work, and thatPikmin 3is on the horizon, though you’d hardly call those signs of originality. Hopefully Miyamoto’s creative well hasn’t run too dry, butWii Musicmakes me fear for his brain sometimes.
