No Plans for a Wii MMO
Today is a sad day for Wii owners hoping for a first party MMO. Recently Nintendo president, Satoru Iowata displeased fans by letting them know that Nintendo has no plans of developing an MMO at this time. This is too bad because just imagine how awesome it would be taking down Bowser and his minions alongside friends in a virtual online world based on he Mario series or a similar franchise. Joystiq details why Nintendo isn’t looking down the MMO road anytime soon:
Iwata stated that Nintendo would only pursue MMO development if the title could appeal to people of all ages, from “5 to 95.” Looking at Second Life, Iwata belives that MMOs aren’t yet accessible to people without a fair degree of computer literacy, and that Nintendo would want to successfully cross that bridge before considering going the MMO route
