I et interview med Time fortæller Nintendo-ikonet Shigery Miyamoto, at selskabet meget interesserede virtual reality (såsom Oculus Rift og Project Morpheus) som teknologi, men at de sandsynligvis ikke kommer til at bruge den foreløbigt, da VR ikke harmonerer med deres mål for Wii U.
"As game designers, we at Nintendo are interested in VR technology and what it can do. But at the same time what we're trying to do with Wii U is to create games for everyone in the living room. [...] it's intended to be fun not only for the person who's playing, but also for the people who are watching".
Videre mener Miyamoto, at virtual reality-teknologien på mange måder er "ensom".
"When you think about what virtual reality is, which is one person putting on some goggles and playing by themselves kind of over in a corner, or maybe they go into a separate room and they spend all their time alone playing in that virtual reality, that's in direct contrast with what it is we're trying to achieve with Wii U. And so I have a little bit of uneasiness with whether or not that's the best way for people to play"
Har Miyamoto fat i noget, eller er han helt ude at cykle?
