Based on what was revealed by Reggie Fils-Aimeex-president of Nintendo of America, we learn that the inclusion of Wii Sports as a free game bundled with Wii generated some fights in Nintendosince many did not see it as a convenient maneuver for the company.
Therefore, historical information and background on Nintendo continue to emerge, following the publication of the book “Disrupting the Game: From the Bronx to the Top of Nintendo” by the ex-president of Nintendo of America, Reggie Fils-Aime, in this case with the story of the fact that the inclusion of Wii Sports in the bundled Wii boxes was not taken well by everyone within the company, generating tensions.
According to some, including Fils-Aime, the inclusion of Wii Sports in the Wii packages had the power to immediately communicate perfectly the concept behind the console, namely the control system through movement and the fact of playing together as entertainment base.
Others, including Saturo Iwata, then president of Nintendo, were rather dubious about the initiative, especially because they saw it as inconvenient to distribute essentially free “valuable content” for the company, which could have helped in the purchase of hardware and also the sale of software.
However, a particularly compelling argument Fils-Aime used to convince Iwata too was the fact that Wii Sports might be just the right tool to get the company out of its user niche and blow up the console on the console. mass marketas it actually happened.
From the same book, we also learned several other backstories such as the fact that the Game Boy Micro was not considered a good idea by Nintendo of America and that Fils-Aime hated Donkey Konga.
