Miyamoto: Dual GamePad usage still possible, but not at the point where people would buy two
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News | 14 Comments
The idea of using two GamePads in games is something that was brought up back in the very early days of Wii U. However, we’re coming close to the system’s second anniversary, and Nintendo hasn’t capitalized on this just yet.
So what’s the deal? Shigeru Miyamoto shared an update with IGN, noting that while dual GamePad usage can still be done from a technical standpoint, Nintendo is “at a point where we don’t feel it’s realistic to expect people to purchase two GamePads yet.”

Miyamoto on the transitions between hardware, not saying much on combining portable and console systems
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 7 Comments
This information comes from Shigeru Miyamoto, speaking with IGN…
“Well, we’re always experimenting with a lot of different kinds of new hardware. Certainly, we’ve put a focus more recently on what we can do to better improve the transition from one hardware system to the next. Going from GameCube to Wii, we were able to mature a smooth transition from one to the next in terms of the development environment. But with Wii to Wii U, there were some hurdles there that we had to overcome in making that transition to the new hardware system.”
“The question of whether or not we want to take a portable system and a home console system and decide if maybe, as the computer processing power improves, we could just simply say we’ll stick with a portable and make it something that could also be a home console system is a question that ties directly into product strategy, and is something I can’t really go into detail on.
“But what I can say is that, for the time being, our focus is really on developing and building these environments that will allow us to have a smooth transition from one hardware system to the next going forward. Other than that, you can look forward to what comes next.”
