IGN are reporting on Nintendo and its efforts in encouraging developers to develop for the Wii U.

Shigeru Miyamoto, Nintendo big-wig and creator of the Mario Bros. franchise, has reportedly been meeting personally with developers to encourage them to develop for the upcoming console.

“I am trying to meet with the game developers individually for this matter,” says Miyamoto.

“The real subject is whether I’ll be able to – we’ll be able to – convince developers inside of the licensing publishers to be excited about the new features of the Wii U, so much so that they’ll be enthused towards making brand new entertainment that I couldn’t come up with myself.”

Miyamoto explained that as one of the developers, it is his job to meet with the individual people and, “convince that they’ll be able to create brand new entertainment that they really wish to realise.”

“My job is to try to assist them in that fashion,” he said.

“I do not think that providing any special technologies, know how or skills would be able to change the situation, because I understand that most third-party developers already have those things.”
