Miyamoto hoping for better Wii U games

Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto has said the Wii U games line-up isn't the best, but he has high hopes for the future of the platform.

Miyamoto suggested that getting used to a new platform was the reason why Nintendo hadn't dedicated more time to making games for the Wii U.

He also said he'd have liked Pikmin 3 to have been a Wii U launch title.

"From my perspective, I think ideally it would have been nice if we'd been able to release Pikmin 3 closer to launch, but the Wii U - though it shares the Wii name - is obviously a brand new system, with new chips and graphical capabilities," he told Time.

"It can do a lot more, and in the process of developing a lot of the features and functionality, the resources required to best utilise those features drew on some of the same resources that might have been spent developing games, thus we weren't able to bring quite as robust a line-up initially."

However Miyamoto believes that Nintendo will be able to bring more games to the Wii U over time.

"As we become even more familiar with the hardware, we'll be able to do more from a software standpoint," he added. "That's an area we're currently devoting resources to."
