In a recent press Q&A, Hideo Kojima spoke about Nintendo’s upcoming console, the Wii U, a console that he calls a “special case”.
“Wii U is kind of a special case,” Kojima said at a press Q&A last week. “The way the player interacts with the device is very different than any other device out there. So if I were to make a game for the Wii U, it would have to be a unique game.”
Kojima then spoke about the Fox Engine, and compatibility with the Wii U.
“I don’t want any misconceptions that [the Fox Engine] is specific to a certain hardware platform, because it’s not,”
The original Wii was a special case which required unique software as well, and while sales numbers may tell one side of the story, the system was a disappointment to many “hardcore gamers”, mainly due to its inferior graphics when compared to the current generation’s PS3 and Xbox 360. Lets hope Nintendo hits a sweet spot between “unique” and “hardcore” with the Wii U.

picking up virtual golf balls with your butt-cheeks is pretty unique
or, “metal Gear Solid U”.. for unique
The only thing I am really interested about the Wii U is how much it will outperform The PS3/X360 and what will be the gap (in terms of game visuals and frame rates, not the HW) with the most powerful PCs. Then in another couple of years the two new consoles should come out and the debate should finally take a rest.
