Shin'en CEO: Wii U is the strongest console with a lot of potential

The developer of Nano Assault Neo thinks highly of Nintendo's system.

Shin'en is working on the Wii U eShop game Nano Assault Neo, a shoot 'em up which supports 2 player co-op. In a recent interview, the company's CEO, Manfred Linzner, had good things to say about the new console as well as Nintendo itself.

In regards to the Wii U's power and it's ability to make a stand against Microsoft and Sony's next-gen consoles, Linzner had this to say:

Linzner: “Well, right now, the Wii U is the strongest console with a lot of potential for the future. You should not forget, that the Wii U GPU is from a different generation than the ones from the current competitors. Because of that, there are many new ways of approaching things. Which, on the one side, are easier to implement than special hybrid solutions that are currently used on the other consoles, and on the other hand, which brings with it a much better performance. In cooperation with the generous working storage you have unbelievable possibilities. You should not forget that you need developers who can actually max out the potential of a console. And with teams like Retro Studios and EAD, Nintendo has an unbeatable advantage.”

Linzner also praised Nintendo for their support, and said the staff of Shin'en are interested in making other games for the Wii U after the release of Nano Assault Neo.

Linzner: "Nintendo always let us work on our own, they didn't butt in. And we really appreciate that. They told us about the possibilities with the Wii U beforehand, we got a lot of information and we still get [information] almost every day."

"We've got big plans for Wii U. The success of Nano Assault Neo will obviously influence our future projects."
