Got a fancy new 3D television set? I know. No one does. But the Wii U will support 3D sets. Just don’t expect 3D games from Nintendo.
According to a post on Joystiq, “the Wii U will support 3D televisions but Nintendo itself won’t be focusing on making 3D games.”
Now, if third parties want to make something, I’m sure Nintendo will be fine with that. It’s supported in the Wii U. It’s not a 3D system, though. They already have one of those with the 3DS.
“If you are going to connect Wii U with a home TV capable of displaying 3-D images, technologically, yes, it is going to be possible,” Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata told the Mercury News, “but that’s not the area we are focusing on.”
I’m sure having to wear glasses to see 3D on a television and then looking down at the Wii U controller’s to view it would give people a terrible headache. Wait — that’s kind of like playing the 3DS and then looking down at the non-3D bottom screen!
