Nintendo has denied neglecting core gamers and claims to have new projects based on existing IP in development with "all development teams".
"We have never neglected our core gamers. We still have developers working on popular core gaming franchises but we need longer to complete these games, approximately two to three years," the company told the October issue of Edge.
"These games are not ready to launch in early 2009 but are being worked on by all development teams."
