Miyamoto compares the Wii U's struggles to those of the DS.
Shigeru Miyamoto, creator of Mario and Zelda, feels that the Wii U needs time in order for the general public to understand it.
In an interview with CNN, Miyamoto recalls the feelings people had when the DS came out and expresses his belief that the situation with the Wii U is similar, saying, "I almost feel like, as people get more familiar with Wii U and these touchscreen interfaces, that there is going to come a point where they feel like, 'I can't do everything I want to do if I don't have a second screen.'"
