If you bought Wii U, you’ll be familiar with the console’s painstaking day one patch that took forever to complete. Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has apologized for that update, and for the console not being fully functional at launch.
In an email sent to IGN, Iwata said:
I always and strictly tell Nintendo employees never to use the term ‘success’ to describe our own performance.
If we call a result of any of our efforts a ‘success’… we might apply it as the standard for success for future projects as well, and we could wind up not trying to do better than that or not making something which is very different in nature.
So I feel very sorry for the fact that purchasers of Wii U have to experience a network update which takes such a long time, and that there are the services which were not available at the hardware’s launch.
One feature that hasn’t made it onto Wii U is Nintendo TVii, a service that lets users use the GamePad to display additional information about the television program they’re watching. The service will launch later this year in in Japan and early next year in the west.
