News: Reggie Talks Possible MMO Games

The big man is once again in the news. This time, talking about MMO type games.

The big man at Nintendo of America, Reggie Fils-Aime, has appeared once again in various news pieces across the web. This time, he talks about the possibilty of future MMO games for Wii.

"The Wii certainly has enough power to drive an MMO and make it totally interactive. Are we as a first party looking at it? Not so far, but are we encouraging other developers to look into this? Absolutely. We believe with the nunchuck and the Wii remote it could be a fantastic MMO.

There's nothing from a pure MMO standpoint in the pipeline but I have spoken with a handful of developers and it's something they're intrigued with." -- Fils-Aime

Great news, especially as he encourages others to create games that Nintendo necessarily wouldn't normally do themselves.

Reggie also talked about the idea of further Mii or Wii customization.

"We think the ability to customize your Mii if very fascinating, adding more personality, more information, so certainly that's something we're looking at."

Lastly, but not least, he talks about the 'on-going problem' of customers breaking products, such as TVs, when the Wiimote flies out of their hands:

"We keep telling people three things: When you're playing Wii and your hand gets sweaty, you gotta wipe it off. And you have to properly attach the strap, some people aren't quite doing it the right way, which can lead to the Wii remote potentially flying off. And the third piece, a lot of consumers when they're playing Wii Bowling are actually letting go of the Wii remote like it's a real bowling ball."
